DLISTEN
This parameter determines the source of the Input Channel Solo signal: Pre Fader or 
After Pan. When Pre Fader is selected, turning on the PAN button below the Pre Fader 
option will solo the channel with the pan position specified by the Pan setting even if the 
source precedes the fader. This parameter is effective only in Recording Solo mode.
ESOLO TRIM
This parameter enables you to trim the level of the Solo signal in the range of –96 dB to 
+12 dB.
FSOLO INTERRUPTION
When this parameter is set to Off, soloed channel signals are not fed to the Control 
Room Monitor outputs. To monitor the Control Room Monitor signals and soloed 
channel signals separately, change the output patching so that the soloed channel signals 
are output independently from the Control Room Monitor outputs, then turn the Solo 
Interruption parameter to Off.
GSOLO SAFE CHANNEL
For Mixdown Solo mode, Input Channels can be configured individually so that they 
are not muted when other Input Channels are soloed (Solo Safe function). Signals from 
Input Channels with the SOLO SAFE CHANNEL button turned on are always fed to the 
Stereo bus, regardless of the channels’ Solo function status. You can clear all Solo Safe 
settings by turning on the ALL CLEAR button.
HAUX/SOLO LINK
When this check box is checked, you can solo or unsolo Aux Sends using the AUX 
SELECT [AUX 1] - [AUX 8] buttons without having to switch to the Master layer (see 
page 107).
IFADER/SOLO RELEASE
If this check box is checked, you can unsolo the channels by raising the channel faders 
that were at the level of –∞ when the Solo function was turned on. If the faders were set 
to higher than –∞, the channels cannot be soloed. This setting is not effective in Mix-
down Solo mode and for Output Channels.
Using the Solo Function
You can solo and monitor Input Channels, Aux Out 1–8, and Bus Out 1–8 using the 
[SOLO] buttons on the top panel.
1Press the MONITOR [DISPLAY] button repeatedly until the Monitor | Solo 
page appears.
2Set the SOLO parameter to On and the SOLO INTERRUPTION parameter to 
Off.
Set other parameters on the page, if necessary.Tip:  For example, if you set the internal effects processor’s return signal to Solo Safe, you 
can monitor the soloed “processed (or wet)” signals.
Note:  When you check the AUX/SOLO LINK or FADER/SOLO RELEASE check box, the 
Solo setting is temporarily cancelled.

3To solo and monitor Input Channels, press the corresponding LAYER button 
to select a Layer that contains the desired channels, then press the channel 
[SOLO] buttons.
The channel [SOLO] button indicators and the MONITOR [SOLO] indicator light up. 
Only the soloed Input Channel signals are fed to the Control Room Monitor outputs.
4To solo and monitor Output Channels, press the LAYER [MASTER] button, 
then press the channel [SOLO] buttons.
Input and Output Channels (Aux Out 1–8, Bus Out 1–8) cannot be solo-monitored simul-
taneously. For example, if you solo an Input Channel, then solo an Output Channel, the 
first solo channel is temporarily cancelled.
If you solo an Output Channel first, then solo an Input Channel, canceling the Input Chan-
nel’s solo will activate the Output Channel’s solo.
5You can unsolo all soloed channels by pressing all illuminated channel 
[SOLO] buttons.
The button indicators turn off. You can also unsolo all soloed channels by pressing the 
MONITOR [CLEAR] button.
Using the Control Room Monitor

11  Surround Functions
This chapter describes surround panning, which determines how Input Channel signals are 
panned within and across the stereo field. It also describes the DM1000’s surround moni-
toring capabilities, which enable you to monitor, in a surround sound environment, 
DM1000 surround mixes or surround sources input via the slots.
Using Surround Pan
About Surround Pan
The Surround Pan function places a sound image within a two-dimensional field using a 
m ulti-channel playback system, and pans the image to the front, rear, left, and right in rela-
tion to the listening position. To pan the stereo image, you can use the Parameter wheel, 
[INC]/[DEC] buttons, or Joystick.
Y ou can also store the surround pan settings in a Scene, or record the movement of the 
sound image to Automixes. 
If  each channel’s follow pan (see page 74) is turned off, you can route the signals to the cor-
r esponding Bus Outs regardless of the Surround Pan setting. This is convenient when you 
w ish to assign the surround source or surround effect returns to the Buses.
If  “Nominal Pan” (see page 267) in the Prefer1 pag e is checked, the level of the Input Chan-
nels that are panned hard left or right will be used as the nominal level. If the check box is 
not checked, the nominal level will be +3dB.
In  addition to a normal Stereo mode, the DM1000 features the following three Surround 
modes:
• 3-1
This mode uses four channels that include front 
left, front right, front center, and rear.
• 5.1
This mode uses six channels that include front left, 
front right, rear left, rear right, front center, and 
subwoofer.Not
e:  If you save a scene with the Follow Pan function turned off while using a DM1000 that 
r uns firmware older than Version 2.0, the surround settings of the scene may not be played 
back correctly.
