¯ Speaker/Channel Input Indicators: These
indicators are multipurpose, indicating either the
speaker type selected for each channel or the
incoming data-signal configuration. The left, cen-
ter, right, right surround and left surround speaker
indicators are composed of three boxes, while the
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 15 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, indicat-
ing a stereo input. When a digital source is play-
ing, the indicators will light to display the chan-
nels begin received at the digital input. When the
letters flash, the digital input has been interrupt-
ed. (See page 15 for more information on the
Channel Indicators).
