What speaker indicators light depends on the speaker setting (for details, see “1 Setting the Speakers—SPEAKER

SETTING” on page 32).

The frames of “L,” “C,” “R,” “LS,” “RS, ” and “SB” light up, when the corresponding speakers are set to “LARGE” or “SMALL” and when the speaker is required for the Surround/ THX/DSP mode currently selected.

When “SUBWOOFER” is set to “YES,” SUBWFR lights up.

All three frames on the row of “SB” are not used at the same time. When “SURR BACK OUT” is set to “2SPK,” the left and the right ones are used. When it is set to “1SPK,” the middle one is used.

About Dual Mono

Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analog formats).

This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub- channel) to be recorded separately.

When Dual Mono signals are detected, the

listen to (see page 36).
