WFM700 Series Waveform Monitors User Manual

When you select the Surround Sound display (see Figure 3--3), the left portion of
the screen displays the level meters and the right portion of the screen displays
the Surround Sound display. Use the Audio Displays submenu of the Configure
menu to enable or disable the Dominance indicator and to select the type of
Surround Sound filter: Linear (RMS) or A-weighting.

NOTE. Audio Surround Sound display courtesy of Radio-Technische Werkstaetten
GmbH & Co. KG (RTW) of Cologne, Germany.

The Surround Sound display is restricted to using signals from only certain audio
input channels. The factory default settings for mapping the audio inputs are the
correct settings for using the Surround Sound display.

For embedded audio groups 1 and 2, the display only works when channels 1
and 2 are mapped to the L--R bars, channels 3 and 4 are mapped to the C--Lfe
bars (the Lfe channel is ignored), and channels 5 and 6 are mapped to the Ls--Rs
bars. Channels 7 and 8 are always ignored. Similar rules apply for embedded
audio groups 3 and 4 and for the external AES audio inputs. You cannot remap
the audio inputs when you are using the Surround Sound display.
