Front Panel Status
The three sets of front panel LEDs
indicate the status of Input Format,
Operating/Decoding Modes and the
Output Format.
Notes: 1. If a Digital Input is select-
ed and the Digital Source
Component is not produc-
ing an output signal, none
of the Front Panel Status
LEDs will illuminate.
2. The new Digital Sound
Formats, including Dolby
Atmos, DTS-X and Auro
3D, do not rely on discrete
fixed channel positions
but rather as audio sound

speaker Setup Environment. Thus, when these
sound formats are played back, the MX160
Front Panel Input Format and Output Format
LED Indicators are not illuminated.
