1OPT

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

2COAX

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

3MULTI CH IN

Lights up when MULTI CH IN is selected.

4MPEG

Lights up when MPEG signals are input.

Note

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

5 ; DIGITAL

This indicator lights up when the receiver is decoding signals recorded in the Dolby Digital format.

6PRO LOGIC

Lights up when the receiver applies Pro Logic processing to two 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”, or the SPEAKERS button is set to OFF and the A.F.D. or NORMAL SURROUND sound fields are selected.

Note

Pro Logic decoding does not function for MPEG format signals.

7L.F.E.

Lights up when the disc being played back 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.

8SW

Lights up when sub woofer selection is set to “YES” (page 20) and the audio signal is output from the SUB WOOFER jack(s).

9Play back channel indicators

The letters light up to 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 setting). When using sound fields like “DIGITAL CONCERT HALL”, the receiver

adds reverberation based on the source sound.
