Speaker Icons

with the following icons:

Displaying Program Formats
When a digital source starts playing, the receiver automati-
cally switches to proper surround mode and provides set-
ting information via the speaker icons located on the right-
hand side of the display. (See diagram)
18
It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby Digital
sources are encoded with the full complement of five chan-
nels plus subwoofer. Speaker icons show how many and
which speaker you have enabled (See "Fine Setting of the
Speakers") and the letters inside the speaker icons show
which channel is present in the source information. For
example, the diagram shown means you have all five
speakers and subwoofer enabled and the digital sources
you played have five channels plus subwoofer complement-
ed. (Dolby Digital 5.1 Channels)
* "S" stands for subwoofer. The indication "S" appears if
the digital source contains subwoofer information. In this
case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer,
offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects. If the letter
is flashing, the signal is either too weak or just gone.
