OFF OPT COAX D.RANGE LCR L F E SL S SR 8 7 6 MEMORY 0 9 1 ; DIGITAL: Lights up when the receiver is decoding signals recorded in the Dolby Digital format. 2 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 does not light if the center and surround speakers are set to "NO", and "AUTO DEC." or "NORM.SURR." is selected. Note Pro Logic decoding does not function for MPEG format signals. 3 DTS: Lights up when DTS signals are input. Note When playing a DTS format disc, be sure that you have made digital connections and that INPUT MODE is NOT set to "ANALOG" (page 22). 4 MPEG: 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 Tuner indicators: Lights up when using the receiver to tune in radio stations, etc. See pages 31 - 35 for tuner operations. Note "RDS" only appears for models of area code CEL, CEK only. 6 D.RANGE: Lights up when dynamic range compression is activated. See page 29 to adjust the dynamic range compression. 7 COAX: Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal being input through the COAXIAL terminal. 8 OPT: Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal being input through the OPTICAL terminal. 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 "C.ST.EX", 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)). Example: Recording format (Front /Surround): 3/2 Output channel: Surround speakers absent Sound Field: AUTO DEC. LCR SL SR continued 27GB
