Using Surround Pan - Yamaha DM2000 Owner's Manual

Using Surround Pan

The DM2000 supports 3-1, 5.1 and 6.1 Surround modes. Surround pan is independent of
normal panning. Normal panning determines how the Input Channel signal is panned
between the left and right channels of the Stereo out. Whereas surround panning deter-
mines how the Input Channel signal is panned among the Surround channels (i.e., the Bus
Outs).
If Input Channel Follow Pan is off, you can patch signals to the corresponding Bus Outs
without being affected by the surround pan setting. This is useful when you want to assign
the surround source or surround effect return to Bus Outs.
When the Nominal Pan preference is on (see page 275), signals will be at nominal level
when panned hard left or hard right, and at +3 dB when the preference is turned off.
Note: If you have saved a scene with the Follow Pan function turned off on a DM2000 that is
older than Version 2.0, the surround setting may not be reproduced
The following table shows how Surround channels are handled by the Bus Outs.
The table may vary depending on the settings on the Surround Bus Setup page (see
page 99).
