DR-680Owner's Manual Addendum

Use the VALUE dial to adjust the signal level suitably in a 0–100 range. The lower the number is, the lower the output level becomes (default value: 100).

NOTE

•• A take that was recorded without decoding (mid and side channels recorded as is) can also be decoded during playback by setting MS MODE to MONITOR. When decoding during playback, output will be of the stereo mix.

•• To record without decoding, set the MS MODEto OFFor MONITOR.

•• If set to MONITOR, you can monitor the decoded signal during recording.

GANG function

The GANG function allows you to adjust multiple channels at the same time on the TRIM, PANand LEVELscreens.

Set the range of channels to be ganged by pressing the number keys for the channels at both ends of the range at the same time.

For example, to gang channels 3–5, press the 3 and 5 keys at the same time. When you do so, channels 3-5will appear selected on the screen as shown in the illustration below.

You can create multiple gangs of channels by setting each gang separately. However, no channel can be part of more than one gang.

When ganged, you can adjust parameters for the ganged channels at the same time.

If the parameter setting for any of the ganged channels reaches its maximum or minimum value, turning the VALUE dial in the same direction will not further increase or decrease the other channel parameters.

If you press and hold the VALUE dial while multiple channels are selected, the parameter values for all of the ganged channels will be set to the lowest value of the channels.

Any of the following actions will deactivate the GANG function.

•• Press any key that corresponds to a channel that is currently ganged.

•• Put the unit power in standby.

•• Activate or Deactivate MS decoding.

•• Use the INITIALIZE function.

When using the GANG function, the ganged channels are the same on the TRIM, PANand LEVELscreens. However, at the PANscreen and the LEVELscreen, a channel pair that is set to MS decoding cannot be activated or deactivated the GANG function.

NOTE

•• You cannot gang channels that are set to use MS decoding with channels that are not. However, you can gang such channels separately.

•• You cannot gang channels that are set to use different types of MS decoding.

•• When designating a range that includes multiple channel pairs set to use MS decoding, only the channels in the pair with the lowest number is ganged.

•• If only one of the channels in a pair set to use MS decoding is included in the range, none of the channels will be ganged together.
