1SW: Lights up when sub woofer selection is set to “YES” and the receiver detects that the disc being played back does not contain the LFE channel signal. While this indicator lights up, the receiver creates a sub woofer signal based on the low frequency components of the front channels.

2Playback 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 “DIGITAL CONCERT HALL”, 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)), SB (Surround Back (the surround back components obtained by 6.1 matrix decoding))

Example:

Recording format (Front /Surround): 3/2

Output channel: Surround speakers absent

Sound Field: A.F.D.

3PRO LOGIC: Lights up when the receiver applies Pro Logic processing to 2 channel signals in order to output the center and surround channel signals. For STR-DA5ES, this indicator also lights when the Pro Logic II movie/music decoder is in active. However, this indicator does not light if the center and surround speakers are set to “NO”, and “A.F.D.” or “NORMAL SURROUND” is selected.

4; DIGITAL: Lights up when a sound field other than “2CH” is selected and the receiver is decoding signals recorded in the Dolby Digital format.

5MULTI CH IN 1/2: Lights up when MULTI CH IN 1 or 2 is selected.

6D.RANGE: Lights up when dynamic range compression is activated. See page 41 to adjust the dynamic range compression.

7Tuner indicators: Light up when using the receiver to tune in radio stations, etc. See pages 44–45 for tuner operations.

8EQ: Lights up when the equalizer functions.

9SLEEP: Lights up when sleep timer is activated.

0;: Lights up when Dolby Digital signals are input.
