Enjoying Surround Sound 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.
