RTD160-EN receiver 6/10/04 2:37 PM Page 22 Advanced Sound Control Speaker Icons The receiver shows the speakers' settings on the display with the following icons: Front Speakers Center Speakers Surround Speakers Subwoofer Displaying Program Formats When a digital source starts playing, the receiver automatically switches to proper surround mode and provides setting information via the speaker icons located on the righthand side of the display. (See diagram) It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby Digital sources are encoded with the full complement of five channels plus subwoofer. Speaker icons show how many and which speaker you have enabled (See "Fine Setting of the Speakers") and the letters inside the speaker icons show which channel is present in the source information. For example, the diagram shown means you have all five speakers and subwoofer enabled and the digital sources you played have five channels plus subwoofer complemented. (Dolby Digital 5.1 Channels) * "S" stands for subwoofer. The indication "S" appears if the digital source contains subwoofer information. In this case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer, offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects. If the letter is flashing, the signal is either too weak or just gone. 18
