Source sound displays

The letters (L, C, R, etc.) indicate the source sound. The box around the letters varies to show how the receiver downmixes the source sound (based on the speakers settings). When using music sound modes such as HALL or JAZZ CLUB, the receiver adds reverberation based on the source sound.

The following table shows how the indicators light up when using AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode.

Although the table below shows almost all of the configurations available from multi channel surround signals, the ones marked “” are the most common.

Notes

The receiver performs Pro Logic decoding and the display conforms to 2/0** when using the following movie sound modes with 2/0* or STEREO PCM format signals. (STUDIO A, B, C, V.M.DIMENS. and V. SEMI M.D.)

When using music sound modes such as HALL or JAZZ CLUB with standard audio formats e.g., PCM, the receiver creates surround signals from the front L and R signals. In this case, sound is output from the surround speakers, but output channel indicators for the surround speakers do not light.
