Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Mode Group An expansion of Dolby Pro Logic II that adds a surround back channel
which may be played through one or two surround back speakers. The
Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes may be selected not only with Dolby Digital
bitstreams, but thanks to the AVR 760/AVR 660’s post-processor, they
may also be used with some DTS bitstreams to add a surround back
channel to 5.1 modes. See below

DTS-HD DTS-HD is a new high-definition audio format that complements the
high-definition video found on Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD discs. It is
transmitted using a DTS core with high-resolution extensions. Even
when only DTS 5.1 surround sound is desired (or available, if the
multizone system is in use), the higher capacity of high-resolution discs
serves up DTS at twice the bit rate used on DVD-Video discs. Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD •

DTS-HD Master Audio DTS-HD Master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions
of the studio master recording in up to 7.1 channels, for an incredibly
accurate performance. Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD •

DTS-ES Matrix DTS Extended Surround adds a single surround back channel to DTS 5.1
digital surround sound. The Matrix version includes the surround back
channel information “matrixed” into the left and right (side) surround
channels, for compatibility with 5.1-channel systems. DTS-ES Matrix •
DTS-ES Discrete DTS-ES Discrete is another Extended Surround mode that adds a
surround back channel, but this information is encoded discretely on
the disc, and is not derived from information contained in the surround
channels. DTS-ES Discrete •
