Source sound displays
The letters (L, C, R, etc.) indicate the source sound. The boxes around the letters vary to show how the amplifier downmixes
the source sound (based on the speakers settings). When using music sound modes like LARGE HALL or SMALL HALL
the amplifier adds reverberation based on the source sound.
The following table shows how the indicators light when using AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode.
Although the table below shows almost all of the configurations available from multi channel surround signals, the ones
marked “
” are the most common.
* Signals with Dolby surround encoded flag OFF
** Signals with Dolby surround encoded flag ON
*** Sampling frequency is displayed
Notes
• The amplifier performs Pro Logic decoding and the display conforms to 2/0** when using the following movie sound modes with 2/0*
or STEREO PCM format signals. (CINEMA STUDIO EX. A, B, C, SEMI-CINEMA STUDIO EX. A, B, C, NIGHT THEATER, V. MULTI
DIMENSION, V. MULTI REAR, V. SEMI-M. DIMENSION, VIRTUAL ENHANCED A, or VIRTUAL ENHANCED B)
• When using music sound modes like LARGE HALL or SMALL HALL with standard audio formats, like PCM, the amplifier creates rear
signals from the front L and R signals. However, a center speaker signal is not created. In this case, sound is output from the rear
speakers, but output channel indicators for the rear speakers do not light.
