Surround pan

6Use the knobs and buttons in the lower part of

the screen to adjust the volume, delay, on/off

status, and cue for each surround channel.

For details on these knobs and buttons, refer to SURR

PARAM screen (➥ p.309) in the Reference section.

7In the MIX section, make the [MIX MASTER]

key light, and turn on the MIX [ON] keys of all

MIX buses that will be used as surround buses.

The signal of each surround bus is now sent from the

corresponding MIX OUT jack.

Controlling surround pan

Here’s how to control surround pan for two adjacent input channels (or ST IN/FX RTN channels L and R).

Note

•Before you continue with the following procedure, you must

select the desired surround mode and connect MIX OUT

jacks 1–8 or MIX OUT jacks 9–16 to an appropriate play-

back system, as described in “Basic settings for surround

buses” (

➥

p.144).

•If you use 5.1ch or 6.1ch surround mode, connect the LFE

(Low Frequency Effects) channel signal to a dedicated sub-

woofer for the low frequencies. However, simply switching

the surround mode does not change the EQ (filter) settings.

As necessary, use the EQ (LPF) of the MIX channel

assigned to the LFE channel to cut the high-frequency por-

tion of the signal according to the frequency response of the

subwoofer you are using.

1In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly

press the [PAN/ROUTING] key to access the

SURR PARAM screen (PAN/ROUTING

function).

The SURR PARAM screen always shows surround pan

settings for two channels.

2Use the channel selection area to select the

input channels whose surround pan settings

you want to edit.

Two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered chan-

nels (or ST IN/FX RTN channels L and R) will be

displayed.

3Use the SURROUND BUS ON/OFF buttons

located around the surround pan grid to select

the surround buses to which the input chan-

nel will be sent.

The SURROUND BUS ON/OFF buttons are on/off

switches for the signal sent from the input channel to

each surround bus.

Hint

You can do the same thing by pressing a [SEL] key to select

an input channel, making the MIX section [MIX SEND] key

light, and then turning on the MIX [ON] key for the desired sur-

round buses.

4Use any of the following methods to adjust the

surround pan of the selected channel.

• Using the mouse or track pad

Move the pointer into the surround pan grid of the

channel you want to control, and drag the yellow O

symbol forward/backward/left/right. (The symbol will

turn red while you are dragging it.) Alternatively, you

can click a desired location within the surround pan

grid to move the surround pan to that location.

• Using the pan buttons around the surround pan

area

If you want to quickly move the channel signal to the

location of a speaker, click one of the pan buttons (e.g.,

L, R, C) shown around the edge of the surround pan

grid.

• Using the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys

Move the cursor to the surround pan grid and press the

[ENTER] key; the O symbol will turn red.

In this condition, you can use the CURSOR [√]/[®]

keys to move surround pan left/right, or the CURSOR

[π]/[†] keys to move it forward/backward, in a range

of eight steps. By performing this operation while hold-

ing down the [SHIFT] key, you can quickly move

surround pan in a range of 32 steps. To finalize the sur-

round pan adjustment, press the [ENTER] key once

again.
