Understanding the Multi-Channel Surround Displays
Playback channel display
The display shows which channels are being played back and which speakers are being used. The letters (L, C, R, etc.) light
to show the channels being played back. The boxes around the letters light to show which speakers are being used. The
display varies depending on the number of speakers connected. See the "Speaker Setup and Playback Channel Display"
column in the table below.
This unit also displays the number of channels in the input signal. See the "Input Channel Display" column in the table
below.
Although the table below shows almost all of the configurations available from multi channel surround signals, the ones
marked " " are the most common.
