F:S = In:Rtn Mode

Set the Main Mon format before selecting this parameter.

The Wide Return width may be formatted for 7.1 F:S = In:Rtn 

or 6.1 F:S = In:Rtn, depending upon the Main Mon format 

selected.

Note: For formatting interactions & mappings see pages 17-27.

When Wide Return is selected, this mode activates the Wide Inputs L, R, C & LFE inputs (F = In) and 

the Wide Return surround inputs (S = Rtn). The Wide Return LED will turn on solid indicating it is 

selected, while the Wide Inputs LED will flash indicating it is also being monitored. Also, the Source 

On LEDs for the surround channels will turn on solid indicating they are monitoring the Wide Return, 

while the Source On LEDs for L, R, C & LFE will flash indicating they are monitoring Wide Inputs.

F:S = In:Rtn + F:S = Rtn:Con Mode

Set the Main Mon format before selecting this parameter.

The Wide Return width may be formatted for 7.1 F:S = In:Rtn 

+ F:S = Rtn:Con or 6.1 F:S = In:Rtn + F:S = Rtn:Con, depend-

ing upon the Main Mon format selected.

Note: For formatting interactions & mappings see pages 17-27.

When Wide Return is selected, this mode activates the Wide Inputs L, R, C & LFE inputs (F = In) and 

the Wide Return surround inputs (S = Rtn). The Wide Return LED will turn on solid indicating it is 

selected, while the Wide Inputs LED will flash indicating it is also being monitored. Also, the Source 

On LEDs for the surrounds will turn on solid indicating they are monitoring the Wide Return, while 

the Source On LEDs for L, R, C & LFE will flash indicating they are monitoring Wide Inputs.

When Wide Return is selected still another time, this mode activates the Wide Return L, R, & C inputs 

(F = Rtn) and the Console surround input (S = Con). The Wide Return LED will turn on solid indicat-

ing it is selected, while the Console LED will flash indicating it is also being monitored. Also, the 

Source On LEDs for L, R, & C will turn on solid indicating they are monitoring the Wide Return, 

while the Source On LEDs for the surrounds will flash indicating they are monitoring Console.

Note: When using a 4:2:4 processor to monitor Dolby Surround in the F:S = In:Rtn + F:S = Rtn:Con mode, 

there is not a direct send for the S channel of the processor. The LSt & RSt (Left Surround Total & 

Right Surround Total) output from the EX/ES processor must be externally summed at unity gain and 

the summed signal can then be returned into the Console S input.

Surrounds

The  level  of  the  surrounds  can  be  formatted  for  normal  or 

film mixing. Generally speaking, the Normal 0 dB parameter 

should be used for all non-theatrical product, such as HDTV, 

DTV, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, and SACD. The Film -3 dB 

parameter follows the film industry standard by reducing the 

output level of the surrounds by 3dB. It also accommodates 

the resultant elevated mix level of the surrounds by reducing 

the surrounds level to the Downmix and 4:2:4 Send.
