Q Speaker/Channel Input Indicators: These indicators are multipurpose, indicating either the speaker type selected for each channel or the incoming data-signal configuration. The left, cen- ter, right, right surround, left surround, right back surround and left back surround speaker indica- tors are composed of three boxes, while the sub- woofer 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, sur- round or subwoofer channels, no speaker has been selected for that position. (See page 21 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 indica- tors will light to display the channels begin received at the digital input. When the letters flash, the digital input has been interrupted. (See pages 23 and 34 for more information on the Channel Indicators).
