52 Surround Pan
01V96i—Reference Manual
Surround Pan
This chapter describes surround panning, which determines
how Input Channel signals are panned within and across the
stereo field.
About Surround Pan
The Surround Pan function places a sound image within a
two-dimensional field using a multi-channel playback sys-
tem, and pans the image to the front, rear, left, and right in
relation to the listening position. To pan the stereo image, you
can use the Parameter wheel, or [INC]/[DEC] buttons.
If each channel’s follow pan (see page 24) is turned off, you
can route the signals to the corresponding Bus Outs regard-
less of the Surround Pan setting. This is convenient when you
wish to assign the surround source or surround effect returns
to the Buses.
If “Nominal Pan” (see page 109) in the Prefer1 page is
checked, the level of the Input Channels that are panned hard
left or right will be used as the nominal level. If the check box
is not checked, the nominal level will be +3 dB.
You can also store the surround pan settings in a Scene. In
addition to a normal Stereo mode, the 01V96i features the fol-
lowing three Surround modes:
•3-1
This mode uses four channels that include front left, front
right, front center, and rear.
•5.1
This mode uses six channels that include front left, front
right, rear left, rear right, front center, and subwoofer.
•6.1
This mode uses seven channels that include six channels
of 5.1 mode plus rear center.
When you select one of these Surround modes, each surround channel signal is output as the Bus Out signal specified on the
DIO/Setup | Surr Bus page (see page 54).
The following table shows the factory-default Surround Channel to Bus Out assignment in each Surround mode.
