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 23).

4MPEG: Lights up when MPEG signals are input.

6EQ: Lights up when the equalizer functions.

7D.RANGE: Lights up when dynamic range compression is activated. See page 30 to adjust the dynamic range compression.

8COAX: Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal being input through the COAXIAL terminal.

9OPT: Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal being input through the OPTICAL terminal.

q; Playback 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))

Note

Only the front 2 channels are compatible with MPEG format. Multi channel surround sound is downmixed and output from the front 2 channels.

5Tuner indicators: Lights up when using the receiver to tune in radio stations, etc. See pages 32–36 for tuner operations.

Note

Example:

Recording format (Front /Surround): 3/2

Output channel: Surround speakers absent

Sound Field: AUTO DEC.
