Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] In V2. 0, you could choose one item from 2TR D1, D2, D3, A1, or A2 as a monitor source, plus other sources (STEREO, ASSIGN1, or ASSIGN2). In V2. 1, you can turn the MIX C-R SOURCES parameter off to disable this simultaneous selection.
MIX MONITOR SOURCES parameter added to Surround Monitor (page 138)
A "MIX MONITOR SOURCES" parameter has been added to the SURROUND MONITOR page. In V2. 0, you could simultaneously choose a BUS and SLOT as the monitor source, but in V2. 1 you can turn this parameter off to disable this simultaneous selection.
THX presets added to Surround Monitor (page 139-141)
Presets for the THX pm3 monitor system have been added to the bass management settings for surround monitoring. Several supplements have also been added regarding the surround monitor settings, so please replace the corresponding pages with the following.
Configuring Surround Monitoring
Surround monitoring, including speaker setup, monitor matrix, Bass Management, and monitor alignment, is configured on the Surround Monitor Setup page. [. . . ] · ATT1 for surround mode 3-1 · ATT4 for surround mode 5. 1 · ATT5 for surround mode 6. 1 These ATT values are not attenuators for down-mixing; rather, they are used as monitor adjustment attenuators for lowering the playback volume of the Ls, Rs, Ls2, and Rs2 speakers.
The following screen shows an example in 6. 1 Surround mode and 3-1 Monitor Matrix mode.
· BASS MANAGEMENT You can set the filter and attenuator settings for each Surround Monitor Channel using eight preset Bass Management modes. The following presets are available:
No. 1 2 3 4 5 THXD THXF THXM Presets Title DVD LFE80Hz DVD LFE120Hz Movie LFE80Hz Movie LFE120Hz Bypass THX DVD THX Movie THX Music HPF 1, 2, 3 8012 8012 8012 8012 THRU 80-12 80-12 80-12 LPF1 8024 12042 8024 12042 THRU 120-42 120-42 120-42 Parameters LPF2 8024 8024 8024 8024 MUTE 80-24L 80-24L 80-24L ATT 1 & 2 0 0 3 3 0 0 3 0 AMP 10 10 10 10 0 10 10 10
ATT1: Adjusts the level difference between LR and LsRs. ATT2: Adjusts the level difference between C and Bs. HPF13: Cut the low range so that the speakers' supporting frequency ranges will not interfere with the subwoofer signals. HPF12: Cut the high range so that the subwoofer's supporting frequency ranges will not interfere with other speakers' signals.
Note: · If you select preset THXD or THXF, you cannot change the parameters. · If you select preset THXM, you can switch AMP between 10 dB and 0 dB. However, you cannot change other parameters. You can set the Bass Management parameters in the following ranges:
Parameters HPF 1, 2, 3 LPF1 LPF2 ATT 1 & 2 AMP Range THRU, 80-12, 80-12L, 80-24, 80-24L THRU, 80-24, 80-24L, 120-42 THRU, 80-24, 80-24L, MUTE 0 to 12 dB (1 dB steps) 0 to +12 dB (1 dB steps)
The HPF 1, 2, 3, and LPF 1 & 2 values indicate a cut-off frequency and a filter response. For example, "80-12" means a cutoff frequency of 80 Hz and a filter response of 12 dB/octave. Other filters are Butterworth.
About the Presets
(1) DVD LFE80Hz This is a preset optimized for DVD-Video production. The LFE playback bandwidth is set up to 80 Hz. When using this preset, we recommend that you use an external device to apply an LPF (fc=80 Hz, 24 dB/oct) to the LFE master source. To monitor audio on DVD-Audio or SACD discs, change the LFE level (AMP) and LPF (LPF1) to 0 dB and THRU, respectively, if necessary. The LFE output gain on some DVD players and decoders may already be set to +10 dB. To monitor the output from such devices, change the LFE level (AMP) to 0 dB. (2) DVD LFE120Hz This is also a preset optimized for DVD-Video production. This preset is the same as preset (1) mentioned above, except that the LFE playback bandwidth is set up to 120 Hz. Use this preset to monitor standard LFE signals recorded on DVD-Video discs that include the high-end frequency ranges (120 Hz). (3) Movie LFE80Hz This preset is the same as preset (1) mentioned above, except that the output level of surround channels is set to 3 dB when the Monitor Matrix mode is 5. 1 or 6. 1. This preset is suitable for movie production. When using this preset, we recommend that you use an external device to apply an LPF (fc=80 Hz, 24 dB/oct) to the LFE master source. [. . . ] Select the 0dB setting only if the destination environment (home theatre, etc. ) has the LFE gain set to 0dB. · MONITOR ALIGNMENT ATT & DLY ON/OFF These buttons are used to turn on and off the Monitor Alignment Attenuator and Delay parameters of all Surround speakers. The MONITOR ALIGNMENT diagram and Surround Channel Attenuator and Delay parameters, which are displayed when either of these buttons are selected, allow you to align the surround monitor speakers by attenuating and delaying Surround Channels as necessary. The Attenuator parameters can be set , 12 dB to +12 dB in 0. 1 dB steps. [. . . ]
