subwoofer is a single box. The center box lights
when a "Small" speaker is selected, and the two
outer boxes light when "Large" speakers are
selected. When none of the boxes are lit for the
center, surround or subwoofer channels, no speaker
has been selected for that position. (See page 27
for more information on configuring speakers.) The
letters inside each of the center boxes display
active input channels. For standard analog inputs,
only the L and R will light, indicating a stereo
input. When a digital source is playing, the indica-
tors will light to display the channels begin
