3rd Step: Audio Sets
Channel Name
Create a Channel Name.
These names should be kept as short as practical. See Note on page 159 .
Suggested names are:
- For a Stereo group:
L
R
- For a Dolby 5.1 group:
LF
(for left front)
RF (for right front)
C (for center)
LFE (for low frequency effects)
LS (for left surround)
RS (for right surround)
These names are the source of headings used elsewhere in the system:
• Column headings in the right-hand portion of the Audio Input Table
(
Figure 82 ).
• Channel names at the bottom of the audio meter bars of the panel.
Channel Description
(Optional) Create a channel description.
Force Pass Through
This setting is used to force the Maestro Processor to pass all digital audio
data without mixing, fading, or any other processing. It is normally used
only when it is preferred to pass a non-audio signal such as Dolby E or
Dolby AC-3 through the Processor.
The choices are:
• False (default)
• True
Note For most installations, automatic detection will provide the best signal quality
(that is, when Force PassThrough is set to “false”). “False” is the recom-
mended setting as setting Force PassThrough to “true” will disable all audio
level adjustments even on valid audio signals.
If used, this setting must always be done in pairs since both sides of an
audio channel pair carry non-audio or compressed data. Force pass-
through mode can be used on any audio pair, but it is usually reserved only
for stereo pairs specifically dedicated for compressed audio signals.
