Elements of the Dolby Status display. The following is a list of some of the
elements that show on the Dolby Status display. Some elements apply only

names grayed out and with a value of N/A. For a complete list of the elements that
might appear, see the instrument online help by pressing the HELP button when
the Dolby Status display is active in a tile.
