138 Chapter 11—Surround Functions
DM1000 Version 2—Owner’s Manual
Configuring Basic Surround Monitoring
You can set basic parameters for Surround Monitor, including monitor matrix, Bass Man-
agement, and monitor alignment.
To do so, press the MONITOR [DISPLAY] button repeatedly until the Monitor | Surr Setup
page appears.
This page displays the basic parameter settings in the MONITOR FLOW section (1).
•SURR. MODE
This parameter indicates the current Surround mode. (You cannot change the Surround
mode on this page).
•MONITOR MATRIX
This parameter selects a surround mode on the surround monitoring system. By default, it
is set to the same mode as the SURR. MODE parameter, though you can select any mode
that features fewer channels than the current mode. This function is useful when you wish
to monitor, for example, a 5.1 surround source through a stereo monitoring system.
Available modes depend on the current Surround mode.
When you change the Monitor Matrix mode in the MONITOR MATRIX parameter box,
the area below the MONITOR FLOW section displays the Matrix flow diagram as well as
ATT parameter boxes that enable you to adjust the amount of attenuation for each signal
path. Adjust the attenuation, if necessary.
Note: If you set Surround mode to 6.1 and Monitor Matrix to 6.1 for monitoring on the
DM1000 with a firmware version older than 2.0, the DM1000 with the firmware version 2.0
may not reproduce the exact same monitoring environment.
Surround Mode ST 3-1 5.1 6.1
STEREO O———
3-1 OO——
5.1 OOO—
6.1 OOOO
Note: If you selected 3-1 Monitor Matrix mode, specify a value identical to the following three
attenuation parameters:
•ATT1 for 3-1 SURR.
•ATT4 for 5.1 SURR.
•ATT5 for 6.1 SURR.
This attenuation amount is not used for down-mixes, but rather for adjusting the monitoring
level of the Ls, Rs, Ls2, and Rs2 speakers.
