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: Lights up when the receiver is decoding signals recorded in the Dolby Digital format. 6 PRO LOGIC: Lights up when the receiver applies Pro Logic processing to 2 channel signals in order to output the center and surround channel signals. However, this indicator also lights when the Pro Logic II movie/music decoder is in active. However, this indicator does not light if the center and surround speakers are set to "NO". 7 L.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. 8 SW: Lights up when sub woofer selection is set to "YES" (page 22) and the audio signal is output from the SUB WOOFER jacks. 9 Playback channel indicators: The letters (L, C, R, etc.) 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 settings). When using sound fields like "D.CONCERT HALL", the receiver adds reverberation based on the source sound. L (Front Left), R (Front Right), C (Center (monaural)), SL (Surround Left), SR (Surround Right), S (Surround (monaural or the surround components obtained by Pro Logic processing)), SB (Surround Back (the surround back components obtained by 6.1 channel decoding)) Example: Recording format (Front /Surround): 3/2 Output channel: Surround speakers absent Sound Field: AUTO DECODING L SL CR SR 32GB
