Sound Surround Enjoying

1OPTICAL

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

2COAXIAL

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

3; DIGITAL

This indicator lights when a sound field other than 2 CHANNEL is selected and the unit is decoding signals recorded in the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format.

4Playback channel indicators

The letters light to indicate the channels being played back.

L: Front Left

R: Front Right

C: Center (monaural)

LS: Left Surround

RS: Right Surround

 

S:Surround (monaural or the rear components obtained by Pro Logic processing)

The boxes around the letters light to indicate the speakers used to playback the channels.

See the next page for details regarding the playback channel indicators.

5L.F.E.

The letters “L.F.E.” light up when the disc being played contains the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel. When the sound of the LFE channel signal is actually being reproduced, the bars underneath the letters lights up to indicate the level. Since the LFE signal is not recorded in all parts of the input signal the bar indication will fluctuate (and may turn off) during playback.

6S.WOOFER

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

7Tuner indicators

These indicators light when using the receiver to tune in radio stations, etc. See pages 43~46 for tuner operations.

8D. RANGE

Lights when dynamic range compression is active. See page 40 to adjust the dynamic range compression.

9PRO LOGIC

Lights when this unit applies Pro Logic processing to two channel signals in order to output the center and surround channel signals.

0DTS

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 (see 3 on page 27).
