THE MERIDIAN 200 SERIES
The 200 Series
The 200 Compact Disc Player is one of a range of
components designed to the same high standards of
performance and appearance, and catering for
configurations from the simplest conventional single-
room hi-fi system, to a Multiroom configuration.
Although designed to produce high-performance sound
quality, each 200 Series unit has also been designed to
be easy to use, with microprocessor control being
applied throughout the range to simplify operation.
The Multiroom concept
The Meridian Multiroom concept allows you to control
any part of your audio system from a separate control
unit, not necessarily located in the same room.
Meridian products have been designed to provide this
flexibility of control without making any compromises
in the quality of the sound produced.
The heart of this system is the 201 Remote Control
Preamplifier, which can be connected to a Meridian
Compact Disc Player and a Meridian 204 FM Stereo
Tuner-Timer. Your Multiroom system can also be
expanded to include tape-decks, video recorders, and
record players.
INTRODUCTION

ST АТИ
The 200 Compact Disc Player is a CD transport, which
provides digital outputs for subsequent processing by a

correction circuits, to ensure maximum fidelity to the
original recorded signal and high playability. Great
care has also been taken with the 200 Compact Disc
Player to ensure reliable performance, and a lasting
high-quality of appearance.
The 200 Compact Disc Player can be connected to the

263 Digital Converter and 201 Remote
Control Preamplifier
The 200 Compact Disc Player can be used alongside
the 263 Digital Converter to give an audio output
suitable for connecting to an existing audio pre-
amplifier, or to the 201 Remote Control Preamplifier.
The 263 Digital Converter accepts a digital signal, and
uses a Crystal Delta-Sigma converter, together with a
double phase-locked loop, to produce an extremely
stable analogue output.
The 201 Remote Control Preamplifier allows you to
select which unit in your installation you listen to, and
its volume setting.

performance achievable in a compact loudspeaker. it
can be connected directly to digital sources, or to
conventional inputs via its own preamplifier and

The Meridian 200 Series of hi-fi components have been
carefully designed to give years of untroubled service.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the case, nor
do the units require any form of maintenance.

to function correctly, it should be returned, in its
original packing, to your Meridian dealer,
In case of difficulty within the UK or USA please
contact the appropriate sales and service address
shown on page ii.
In case of difficulty outside the UK or USA, contact the
importing agent for the territory. A list of Meridian
agents abroad is available from Meridian Audio.
No responsibility can be accepted for the compact disc
player whilst in transit to the factory or an agent, and
customers are therefore advised to insure the unit.
