1; DIGITAL: Lights up when the receiver is decoding signals recorded in the Dolby Digital format.
2PRO LOGIC: Lights up when the receiver applies Pro Logic processing to 2 channel signals in order to output the center and surround channel signals. However, this indicator does not light if the center and surround speakers are set to “NO”, and “AUTO DEC.” or “NORM.SURR.” is selected.
Note
Pro Logic decoding does not function for MPEG format signals.
3DTS: Lights up when DTS signals are input.
Note
When playing a DTS format disc, be sure that you have made digital connections and that INPUT MODE is NOT set to “ANALOG” (page 22).
4MPEG: Lights up when MPEG signals are input.
6D.RANGE: Lights up when dynamic range compression is activated. See page 29 to adjust the dynamic range compression.
7COAX: Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal being input through the COAXIAL terminal.
8OPT: Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal being input through the OPTICAL terminal.
9Playback channel indicators: The letters (L, C, R, etc.) indicate the channels being played back. The boxes around the letters vary to show how the receiver downmixes the source sound (based on the speakers settings). When using sound fields like “C.ST.EX”, the receiver adds reverberation based on the source sound.
L (Front Left), R (Front Right), C (Center (monaural)), SL (Surround Left), SR (Surround Right), S (Surround (monaural or the surround components obtained by Pro Logic processing)).
