1 OPTICAL
Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal
being input through the OPTICAL terminal.
2 COAXIAL
Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal
being input through the COAXIAL terminal.
3 a DIGITAL
This indicator lights when a sound field other than
2 CHANNEL is selected and the unit is decoding
signals recorded in the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format.*
* However, this indicator does not light when the recording format
is 2/0 or 2/0 Pro logic.
4 Playback channel indicators
The letters light to indicate the channels being played
back.
L: Front Left
C: Center (monaural)
RS: Right Surround
S: Surround (monaural or the rear components
obtained by Pro Logic processing)
The boxes around the letters light to indicate the
speakers used to playback the channels.
See the next page for details regarding the playback
channel indicators.
5 L.F.E.
The letters "L.F.E." light up when the disc being
played contains the LFE (Low Frequency Effect)
channel. When the sound of the LFE channel signal is
actually being reproduced, the bars underneath the
letters lights up to indicate the level. Since the LFE
signal is not recorded in all parts of the input signal
the bar indication will fluctuate (and may turn off)
during playback.
