help using the new Meridian MSR+ with older 861


I just got an older Meridian 861 with V2.7 software. it came with the newer MSR+ remote. The 861 is not responding to any button that I pushed on the remote. I already posted at
http://www.meridianunplugged.com but no luck. Probably somebody know here in Audiogon.

Hi Jim,

None of the buttons work at all on the remote. I contacted Meridian and they told me to press the 'Clear' button on the remote to set the 861 as controller. But this did not do anything.

How do you connect your 861 to a computer? I used a Keyspan USB to serial converter with a gender changer in order to match the connector on the back of the 861. It does not get any response from the product. Do you think I should use a null modem instead of the gender changer?

Thanks,
Roy
