Understanding the Multi-Channel Surround Displays

1Playback 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, the rear components obtained

by Pro Logic processing, or when performing

6.1 MATRIX decoding)

The boxes around the letters light to indicate the

speakers used to playback the channels.

2; 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.*

* However, this indicator does not light when the recording format

is 2/0 or when the Dolby Surround encoded flag is ON.

3COAX

Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal

being input through the COAXIAL terminal.

4OPT

Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal

being input through the OPTICAL terminal.

5Tuner indicators

These indicators light when using the receiver to tune

in radio stations, etc. See pages 45~48 for tuner

operations.

6;

Lights when Dolby Digital (AC-3) signals are input.

7PRO LOGIC

Lights when this unit 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 rear L/R

speakers are set to “NO” and the A.F.D. or NORMAL

SURROUND sound fields are selected. This indicator also does

not light when SPEAKERS selector is set to OFF.

8D. RANGE

Lights when dynamic range compression is active. See

page 39 to adjust the dynamic range compression.

9EQ

Lights when the equalizer functions. However, even if

EQ 1 ~ 5 is selected, the indicator does not light when

the equalizer is flat.

0L.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.
