Introduction
Asingle DVD video disc can contain a whole motion picture, complete
with multi-channel sound and many other features such as subtitles and
related information. The picture quality is close to that of the film’s original
format, and it does not suffer from the degradations of quality experienced
with analogue storage. The DVD format also supports a range of audio
formats, including recordings with multi-channel sound or at higher
resolutions or sampling rates than can be provided on conventional CD.
The Meridian 586 DVD Player allows you to take advantage of the whole
range of video and audio releases available in this versatile new format. It
uses the proven Meridian drawer-loading system to combine the
convenience of tray loading with the extremely important performance
benefits of top loading. In addition, the high-quality circuitry and
de-jittering technology result in the highest audio and video quality
achievable with DVD.
This user guide explains how to operate the DVD player, to enable you to
get the best results from your video and music discs.

Introduction
The Meridian 500 Series
The Meridian 500 Series is a unique system of digital, analogue,
and video components designed to meet the demand for
absolute quality, ease of use, and lasting value.
The flexibility of the Meridian 500 Series is such that you can
assemble a system as simple or as complex as you need, which
is perfectly suited to your musical and environmental
requirements and is able to be added to or changed at a later
date should your requirements alter.
Each Meridian 500 Series component is housed in a matching
slim line case. Front panel controls provide access to the most
important functions, and the full range of functions is available
from the appropriate remote control using a simple and intuitive
control interface.
500 Series communications
The Meridian 500 Series includes a sophisticated
communications link to ensure that any configuration of units will
work together as a fully integrated system.
The 500 Series communications system allows you to control
any combination of units using a single remote, and ensures that
your commands from the remote are interpreted correctly. The
communications system also allows you to extend your hi-fi
system into two or three rooms, with the ability to control the
sources in one room from the controller in another room.
Professional features
The 500 Series also includes features for professional users,
including RS232 computer control and balanced connections.
The following pages give examples of four suggested
configurations to illustrate the flexibility of the Meridian 500
Series.

Stereo music/video system
The 586 DVD Player provides a two-channel analogue audio
output, normally encoded in Dolby Surround, to allow direct
connection to an analogue pre-amplifier such as the 502
Analogue Controller.
In addition to playing DVD discs, the 586 includes a second lens
to enable it to play audio CDs (although not recordable CDs). By
careful design Meridian have achieved a sound quality with audio
CDs which approaches that of their dedicated CD players.
