Source sound displays

The letters (L, C, R, etc.) indicate the source sound. The boxes around the letters vary to show how the receiver downmixes the source sound (based on the speakers settings). When using music sound modes like LARGE HALL or SMALL HALL the receiver adds reverberation based on the source sound.

The following table shows how the indicators light 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. (CINEMA STUDIO EX. A, B, C, SEMI CINEMA STUDIO EX. A, B, C, NIGHT THEATER, V. MULTI DIMENSION, V. MULTI REAR, V. SEMI-M. DIMENSION, VIRTUAL ENHANCED A, or VIRTUAL ENHANCED B)

•When using music sound modes like LARGE HALL or SMALL HALL with standard audio formats, like PCM, the receiver creates rear signals from the front L and R signals. In this case, sound is output from the rear speakers, but output channel indicators for the rear speakers do not light.
