5 - Channel modules : Surround operations Surround operations There are several screens and functions which change from those described previously when a surround mode is selected. Changing surround mode The surround mode is set from the PAN/BAL SURROUND MODE screen: Figure 5.25: Selecting surround mode Use the cursor keys to move the triangle cursor between STEREO, LRCS, 5.1 and 6.1. Press ENTER to confirm the selection. A popup message appears asking you to press ENTER again to change the surround mode, or a cursor key to cancel the operation. WARNING To avoid possible damage to speakers and equipment, we recommend that you turn off all monitoring equipment when changing the surround mode. Assigning channels to surround busses There are two modes in which the surround busses can be assigned: pan mode on and pan mode off. This setting is made by pressing and holding the SHIFT key together with one of the ASSIGN keys. Note that this pan mode works in a slightly different way to the pan mode in stereo setting ("Pan switch" on page 64). Note especially: There are three surround matrices available, which can be assigned and mixed differently, but each matrix must be of the same format (for example, it is not possible to have an LCRS and 5.1 surround setup at the same time). Note that when the 5.1 option is selected, the rear speakers can be linked as MONO using the on-screen switch. Buss assignments When a surround mode is selected, the 24 busses are used to feed the surround channels as follows (busses 9 through 16 are used for surround 2, 17 through 24 are used for surround 3, and are assigned in the same pattern as 1 through 8): Buss LCRS 5.1 6.1 1 L L L 2 R R R 3 C C C 4 - LFE LFE 5 S LS LS 6 - RS RS 7 - - CS 8 - - - Table 5.8: Buss assignments in surround mode These assignments cannot be changed. • The Buss Link and Pan preference has no meaning in surround mode. Channels can always have the pan mode turned on and off independently. • There are three surround matrices. These can have pan mode turned on and off independently for each channel (SHIFT + ASSIGN 1 through 8 for the first matrix, SHIFT + ASSIGN 9 through 16 for the second, and SHIFT + ASSIGN 17 through 24 for the third). 88 TASCAM DM-4800 User's Manual
