1 Press the SYSTEM key, and use the cursor
keys until a screen similar to the following
appears:
2 Use the VALUE control to select between
POST (the digital signals mirror the analog
signals) and PRE (the parameters described
above are ignored).
Other monitoring settings
There are other system settings related to the monitor
system, which affect the analog outputs and the digi-
tal outputs in “post” mode.
These are the SPL Reference Level, the Dimmer
level, the Surround level and the LFE Gain.
SPL Reference Level sets the reference value of
the SPL which will be used in the monitoring envi-
ronment. See the Setup Guide for details of how this
works.
It is accessed and set in the screen described here,
however.
Dimmer level This sets the amount by which the
monitor signal is dimmed (or attenuated) when the
DIM key is active.
1 Press the SYSTEM key, and use the cursor
keys until a screen similar to the following
appears:
2 Use the VALUE control to set the Dimmer
parameter value between –60 dB and –10dB
in 5 dB steps.
Surround level This sets the amount by which
the surround (rear speaker) level is attenuated.
1 Press the SYSTEM key, and use the cursor
keys until a screen similar to the following
appears:
2 Use the VALUE control to set the
SurroundLvl parameter value to
between 0dB and –10dB in 1 dB steps.
LFE gain This refers to the amount of relative gain
added to the LFE channel.
1 Press the SYSTEM key, and use the cursor
keys until a screen similar to the following
appears:
2 Use the VALUE control to set the LFEGain
parameter value to any of the following val-
ues: 0, +6, +7, +8, +9 or +10 (dB).
Control room stereo inputs
These balanced +4dB inputs are used for a direct
feed of the master CR analog outputs (your console
may give these a different name, but they are the ste-
reo outputs used for monitoring in the control room)
to the DS-M7.1. These outputs can be monitored directly from the
DS-M7.1 using the
SRND/ST key.
Note that the stereo inputs are subject to the same
downmix, delay, processing etc. as the surround
inputs. See the block diagram for details.
