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 23).
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 32–36 for tuner operations.
Note
“RDS” only appears for models of area code
CEL, CEK only.
6 EQ: Lights up when the equalizer functions.
7 D.RANGE: Lights up when dynamic range
compression is activated. See page 30 to
adjust the dynamic range compression.
8 COAX: Lights up when the source signal is a
digital signal being input through the
COAXIAL terminal.
9 OPT: Lights up when the source signal is a
digital signal being input through the
OPTICAL terminal.
q; 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.
