ELFE
This parameter control sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) Channel signal 
routed to the subwoofer, and appears only in 5.1 and 6.1 Surround modes.
FDIV
This parameter control determines how the Center signal is fed to the Left, Right, and 
Center channels. It is expressed as a percentage ranging from 0 to 100%. When you set 
the parameter to 100, the Center signal is fed to only the Center channel. When you set 
the parameter to 0, the Center signal is fed to only the Left and Right channels. When 
you set the parameter to 50, the Center signal is fed equally to the Left, Right, and Center 
channels. This parameter control appears only in 3-1 and 5.1 Surround modes.
6F & R
In 6.1 Surround mode, F and R parameter controls appear, instead of the DIV control. 
The F parameter control determines how the Front Center signal is fed to the Left and 
Right channels, and the R parameter control determines how the rear surround signal 
is fed to the Left and Right surround channels.

Surround Monitoring
About Surround Monitoring
The DM1000 features comprehensive surround monitoring functions that enable you to 
monitor, in the optimum environment, the surround sources in the Buses or those input 
from Slot 1 or 2. These functions include down mixing (which enables you to monitor sig-
nals on fewer channels) and fine-tuning of surround channel signals according to the mon-
itoring environment.
The surround monitoring functions also feature an oscillator for testing speakers, a mon-
itoring matrix for down mixing, Bass Management for optimizing channel signals for the 
monitoring environment, and monitor alignment using individual Attenuator and Delay 
parameters for each speaker.
To monitor the Surround Monitor signal via the surround system, you must connect 
the system to the output connectors on the DM1000, then patch the Surround Monitor 
signal source to these connectors.
For example, if the surround system is connected to the OMNI OUT connector, press the 
[OUTPUT PATCH] button repeatedly until the Out Patch | OMNI Out page appears. This 
page will enable you to patch the surround channel (indicated as “SURR XXX” where 
“XXX” is the channel name) to the corresponding OMNI OUT connector.

Configuring Basic Surround Monitoring
You can set basic parameters for Surround Monitor, including  monitor matrix, Bass Man-
agement , and  monitor alignment .
To  do so, press the MONITOR [DISPLAY] button repeatedly until the Monitor | Surr Setup 
page appears.
This page displays the basic parameter settings in the MONITOR FLOW section (
1).
• SURR. MODE
This parameter indicates the current Surround mode. (You cannot change the Surround 
mode on this page).
• MONITOR MATRIX
This parameter selects a surround mode on the surround monitoring system. By default, it 
is set to the same mode as the SURR. MODE parameter, though you can select any mode 
that features fewer channels than the current mode. This function is useful when you wish 
to monitor, for example, a 5.1 surround source through a stereo monitoring system.
Av ailable modes depend on the current Surround mode.
Wh en you change the Monitor Matrix mode in the MONITOR MATRIX parameter box, 
the area below the MONITOR FLOW section displays the Matrix flow diagram as well as 
AT T parameter boxes that enable you to adjust the amount of attenuation for each signal 
path. Adjust the attenuation, if necessary. Not
e:  If you set Surround mode to 6.1 and Monitor Matrix to 6.1 for monitoring on the 
DM1000 with a firmware version older than 2.0, the DM1000 with the firmware version 2.0 
may not reproduce the exact same monitoring environment.
Surround Mode ST 3-1 5.1 6.1
STEREO O———
3-1 OO——
5.1 OOO—
6.1 OOOO
Note:  If you selected 3-1 Monitor Matrix mode, specify a value identical to the following three 
attenuation parameters:
•A TT1 for 3-1 SURR.
•A TT4 for 5.1 SURR.
•A TT5 for 6.1 SURR.
This attenuation amount is not used for do wn-mixes, but rather for adjusting the monitoring 
level of the Ls, Rs, Ls2, and Rs2 speakers.

The following diagram shows an example in 5.1 Surround mode and 3-1 Monitor Matrix 
mode.
•BASS MANAGEMENT
You can set the filter and attenuator settings for each Surround Monitor Channel using 
eight preset Bass Management modes. The following presets are available:
ATT1: Adjusts the level difference between LR and LsRs.
ATT2: Adjusts the level difference between C and Bs.
AMP: Corrects the LFE channel level.
HPF1–3: Cut the low range so that the speakers’ supporting frequency ranges will not interfere with the 
subwoofer signals.
HPF1–2: Cut the high range so that the subwoofer’s supporting frequency ranges will not interfere with 
other speakers’ signals.
You can set the Bass Management parameters in the following ranges:
The HPF 1, 2, 3, and LPF 1 & 2 values indicate a cut-off frequency and a filter response. For example, 
“80-12” means a cutoff frequency of 80 Hz and a filter response of –12 dB/octave. 
“L” means Linkwitz filter. Other filters are Butterworth.
Note:  You can patch the Surround Monitor Matrix channels to the output connectors.

About the Presets
(1) DVD LFE80Hz
This is a preset optimized for DVD-Video production. The LFE playback bandwidth is set 
up to 80 Hz. When using this preset, we recommend that you use an external device to apply 
an LPF (fc=80 Hz, –24 dB/oct) to the LFE master source.
To monitor audio on DVD-Audio or SACD discs, change the LFE level (AMP) and LPF 
(LPF1) to 0 dB and THRU, respectively, if necessary.
The LFE output gain on some DVD players and decoders may already be set to +10 dB. To 
monitor the output from such devices, change the LFE level (AMP) to 0 dB.
(2) DVD LFE120Hz
This is also a preset optimized for DVD-Video production. This preset is the same as preset 
(1) mentioned above, except that the LFE playback bandwidth is set up to 120 Hz. Use this 
preset to monitor standard LFE signals recorded on DVD-Video discs that include the 
high-end frequency ranges (120 Hz).
(3) Movie LFE80Hz
This preset is the same as preset (1) mentioned above, except that the output level of sur-
round channels is set to –3 dB when the Monitor Matrix mode is 5.1 or 6.1. This preset is 
suitable for movie production.
When using this preset, we recommend that you use an external device to apply an LPF 
(fc=80 Hz, –24 dB/oct) to the LFE master source.
(4) Movie LFE120Hz
This preset is the same as preset (2) mentioned above, except that the output level of sur-
round channels is set to –3 dB when the Monitor Matrix mode is 5.1 or 6.1. This preset is
