source is present and the 2-CH ANLG BYP parameter is set to ON.

STATUS MENU LEVEL METERS

Most STATUS menus contain level meters that indicate fluctuating
input levels in the front left (L), center (C), front right (R), surround left
(SL), surround right (SR), surround back (SB) and subwoofer (SUB)
channels. These level meters indicate input levels for both analog and
digital input sources. For example, the level meters indicate digital
audio input levels when a digital audio source is present.

Different combinations of level meters appear on each STATUS menu,
depending on the source that is present. The SB level meter appears
when a 6.1-channel source is present, or when a 5.1-channel source
is present and the ES DECODING parameter is set to ON.

Level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow and red when
the on-screen display is configured for a blue-screen background.
Green indicates low levels, yellow indicates normal levels, and red
indicates high levels and the onset of overload. Level meters appear
in white when the on-screen display is not configured for a blue
screen background.
