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 COAXIAL terminal.

3aDIGITAL

This indicator lights when the sound field is on 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 the sub woofer selection is set to “YES” and sound is being output from the sub woofer.

7D. RANGE

Lights when dynamic range compression is active. See page 36 to adjust the dynamic range compression.

8PRO LOGIC

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

9DTS

Lights up when DTS signals are input.

Notes

•When playing a DTS format disc, be sure that you have made digital connections and that DIGITAL/ANALOG is NOT set to ANALOG (see 5 on page 13).

•You may hear some noise when starting playback from a DTS format LD or CD. This, however, is not a malfunction.

0MPEG

Lights when MPEG signals are input.

!¡ RF

Lights when Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF signals are input from the LD (LD/DVD) player.

!™ AC-3

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