qd COAX: Lights up when the source signal is a
digital signal being input through the
COAXIAL terminal.
qf OPT: Lights up when the source signal is a
digital signal being input through the
OPTICAL terminal.
qg LFE: Lights up when the disc being played
back contains the LFE (Low Frequency
Effect) channel and when the sound of the
LFE channel signal is actually being
reproduced.
qh 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)), SB (Surround Back (the
surround back components obtained by 6.1
matrix decoding)).
Example:
Recording format (Front/Surround): 3/2
Output channel: Surround speakers absent
Sound Field: A.F.D. AUTO
Customizing sound fields
By adjusting the surround parameters and the
equalization of the front speakers, you can
customize the sound fields to suit your
particular listening situation.
Once you customize a sound field, the changes
are stored in the memory indefinitely. You can
change a customized sound field any time by
making new adjustments to the parameters.
See the tables on page 63 for the parameters
available in each sound field.
To get the most from multi
channel surround sound
Position your speakers and do the procedures
described in “Multi channel surround setup”
starting from page 17 before you customize a
sound field.
Note on the displayed items
The setup items you can adjust in each menu
vary depending on the sound field. Certain
setup parameters may be dimmed in the
display. This means that the selected parameter
is either unavailable or fixed and unchangeable.
