Tascam DM-3200 Manuel D’Utilisation

There are several screens and functions which 
change from those described previously when a sur-
round mode is selected.

There are two surround matrices available, which can 
be assigned and mixed differently, but each matrix 
must be of the same format (for example, it is not 
possible to have an LCRS and 5.1 surround setup at 
the same time).

The surround mode is set from the 

PAN/BAL SURROUND 

MODE

 screen:

Use the cursor keys to move the triangle cursor 
between 

STEREO

, 

LRCS

, 

5.1

 and 

6.1

.

Press 

 to confirm the selection. A popup mes-

sage appears asking you to press 

 again to 

change the surround mode, or a cursor key to cancel 
the operation.

Note that when the 5.1 option is selected, the rear 
speakers can be linked as MONO using the on-screen 
switch.

When a surround mode is 

selected, the 16 busses are used to feed the surround 
channels as follows (busses 9 through 16 are used for 
surround 2 and are assigned in the same pattern as 1 
through 8):

These assignments cannot be changed.

There are two modes in which the surround busses 
can be assigned: pan mode on and pan mode off.

This setting is made by pressing and holding the 

 key together with one of the 

 keys.

Note that this pan mode works in a slightly different 
way to the pan mode in stereo setting (“Pan switch” 
on page 52). Note especially:

• The Buss Link and Pan preference has no meaning 

in surround mode. Channels can always have the 
pan mode turned on and off independently.

• There are two surround matrices. These can have 

pan mode turned on and off independently for each 
channel (

 + 

 through 

 for the first 

matrix, and 

 + 

 through 

 for the 

second).
