7 PRO LOGIC
Lights when this unit applies Pro Logic processing to
two channel signals in order to output the center and
surround channel signals.*
* However, this indicator does not light if the center and rear L/R
speakers are set to "NO" and the A.F.D. or NORMAL
SURROUND sound fields are selected. This indicator also does
not light when SPEAKERS selector is set to OFF.
8 D. RANGE
Lights when dynamic range compression is active. See
page 39 to adjust the dynamic range compression.
9 EQ
Lights when the equalizer functions. However, even if
EQ 1 ~ 5 is selected, the indicator does not light when
the equalizer is flat.
0 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.
