—Continued
You can display various information about the current
input source as follows.
The following information can typically be displayed for
input sources.
*If the input signal is analog, no format information is
displayed. If the input signal is PCM, the sampling fre-
quency is displayed. If the input signal is digital but not
PCM, the signal format is displayed. Information is dis-
played for about three seconds, then the previously dis-
played information reappears.
Interpreting Surround Channel Information
A: The number of front channels (front left, front right,
and center).
B: The number of surround channels (surround left and
surround right). If there’s a surround back channel
information, this number will be 3.
C: LFE channel for subwoofer (1 means yes).
The multichannel input is for connecting a component
with individual 5.1-channel analog audio outputs, such
as a DVD player or MPEG decoder.
See “DVD Multichannel Connection” on page 24 for
connection information.
Note that the individual speaker level settings for the
multichannel input are independent of those explained
on page 49.
Notes:
• While the multichannel input is selected, you can
select only the
Pure Audio
or
Direct
listening mode.
If you select the multichannel input while using
another listening mode, that listening mode is can-
celled.
• While the multichannel input is selected, the Speaker
Configuration settings on page 32 are ignored, and
signals from the multichannel input are fed to the front
left, front right, center, surround left, and surround
right speakers and subwoofer regardless of those set-
tings.
