52 Surround Pan 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 system, 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 regardless 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 following three Surround modes: • 3-1 This mode uses four channels that include front left, front right, front center, and rear. Front L Center Front R • 5.1 This mode uses six channels that include front left, front right, rear left, rear right, front center, and subwoofer. Subwoofer Front L Center Front R Rear L Rear R • 6.1 This mode uses seven channels that include six channels of 5.1 mode plus rear center.
