THX presets added to Surround Monitor (page 139-141)
Presets for the THX pm3 monitor system have been added to the bass management settings for surround monitor-
ing. Several supplements have also been added regarding the surround monitor settings, so please replace the cor-
responding pages with the following.
Configuring Surround Monitoring
Surround monitoring, including speaker setup, monitor matrix, Bass Management, and mon-
itor alignment, is configured on the Surround Monitor Setup page.
1
Use the MONITOR [DISPLAY] button to locate the Surround Monitor Setup
page.
2
Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and use the Parameter wheel,
INC/DEC buttons, and [ENTER] button to set them.
SPEAKER SETUP:
These parameters are for setting the volume balance of the surround mon-
itor speakers. Select the OSC (Oscillator) parameter and choose from PINK NOISE, 500-2K
(pink noise through a 500 Hz to 2 kHz BPF), 1K (1 kHz sinewave), or 50 Hz (50 Hz sinewave).
Use the ON/OFF button to turn the Oscillator on and off. When on, the Oscillator outputs a
signal at –20 dB to the Surround Channels whose icons are highlighted. You can turn on and
off Oscillator output for speakers individually. Speaker icons can be selected by using the cursor
buttons. The signal phase of the LFE Channel can be reversed by using the SW phase button.
When ROTATE is on, the Oscillator signal is output by each speaker in turn in a clockwise
direction (3 second signal, 2 second pause).
SURR. MODE:
This indicates the currently selected Surround mode, which is set on the Sur-
round Mode page (see page 85).
MONITOR MATRIX:
This is used to select the Surround Monitor Matrix. In 6.1 Surround
mode, you can select 6.1, 5.1, 3-1, or ST. In 5.1 Surround mode, you can select 5.1, 3-1, or ST.
In 3-1 Surround mode, you can select 3-1 or ST.
When a down mix Monitor Matrix is selected, you can attenuate signals by using the ATT
parameters.
You can use the Surround Monitor settings in Stereo mode, but Monitor Matrix is fixed to ST.
Note:
If you had been monitoring with the surround mode set to 6.1 and the monitor matrix mode
set to 6.1 on 02R96 units with system software earlier than V2.1, the playback may not always be
correct on V2.1.
Note:
If you choose monitor matrix mode = 3-1, you must set the following three attenuation
amounts to the same value.
• ATT1 for surround mode 3-1
• ATT4 for surround mode 5.1
• ATT5 for surround mode 6.1
These ATT values are not attenuators for down-mixing; rather, they are used as monitor adjust-
ment attenuators for lowering the playback volume of the Ls, Rs, Ls2, and Rs2 speakers.
