ABitstream Indicators: When the input is a digital

source, one of these indicators will light to display the spe- cific type of data signal in use.

BDTS Mode Indicator: This indicator lights when a DTS-encoded source is playing and DTS Surround decoding is in use.

CDolby Digital Indicator: This indicator lights when a Dolby Digital source is being played and Dolby Digital surround decoding is in use.

DDolby Pro Logic II Indicator: This indicator lights when the Dolby Pro Logic II mode has been selected.

•It is possible to see the Dolby Pro Logic II indicator lit simultaneously with the Dolby Digital indicator, even though the Dolby Digital surround mode has been selected. This is due to the specifications for Dolby Digital processing, which require that the Dolby Pro Logic II mode be used any time a two-channel Dolby signal is detected.

•If you desire 5.1-channel audio, check the audio settings in the menus for both your DVD player and your DVD disc to make sure that a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack is available and has been selected.

EDolby 3 Stereo/Stereo Indicator: The entire indicator lights when the Dolby 3 Stereo mode has been selected. When the surround modes are turned off so that two-channel stereo playback is in use, only the “ST” indicator will light.

FOSD Indicator: When the On Screen Display (OSD) system is in use, this indicator lights to remind you that the other indicators in this display do not function when the OSD is being used.

GDSP Mode Indicator: This indicator lights when any of the surround modes created by Digital Signal Processing, or DSP, are in use. These modes include Hall 1, Hall 2, the Theater Mode and 5-Channel Stereo.

HVMAx Mode Indicators: These light when the VMAx mode is in use. VMAx F appears when the Far Field VMAx mode is selected; VMAx N appears when the Near Field VMAx mode is selected. (See page 25 for a description of the VMAx modes.)

ILogic 7 Mode Indicators: These indicators light when the Logic 7 mode is in use. LOGIC 7C appears for the Cinema version; LOGIC 7M appears for the Music version of Logic 7. (See page 25 for a description of the Logic 7 modes.)

JPreset Number/Sleep Timer: When the tuner is in use, these numbers indicate the specific preset memory location in use. (See page 28 for more infor- mation on preset stations.) When the Sleep function is in use, these numbers show how many minutes remain before the unit goes into the Standby mode. (See page 24 for information on the Sleep function.)

S Main Information Display T Analog Input Indicator

U Coaxial Digital Input Indicators V Optical Digital Input Indicators

KNight Mode Indicator: This lights when the AVR 225 is in the Night mode, which preserves the dynamic range of digital program material at low vol- ume levels. This mode is only available with specially encoded Dolby Digital sources. (See page 27 for a description of the Night mode.)

LSpeaker/Channel Input Indicators: These indica- tors are multipurpose, indicating either the speaker type selected for each channel or the incoming data-signal configuration. The left, center, right, right surround and left surround speaker indicators are composed of three boxes, while the subwoofer is a single box. The center box lights when a “Small” speaker is selected, and the two outer boxes light when “Large” speakers are selected. When none of the boxes are lit for the center, surround or subwoofer channels, no speaker has been assigned to one of those positions. (See page 19 for more information on configuring speakers.) The letters inside each of the center boxes display active input channels. For standard analog inputs, only the L and R will light, indicating a stereo input. When a digital source is playing, the indicators will light to display the channels being received at the digital input. When the letters flash, the digital input has been interrupted. (See page 27 for more information on the Channel Indicators.)

MPreset Indicator: This indicator lights when the tuner is in use to show that the Preset Number/ Sleep Timer J is showing the station’s preset memory number. (See page 28 for more information on tuner presets.)
