Explained in terms I appreciate, totally understand now..thanks bigjohn. So I would assume a lot of the newer AVR's out there are set up for these additional connections? Just purchased a new Denon 2805 7.1 so when I'm in the market for a new DVD player I might want to look for SACD if this receiver can match up.
I know with Pro Logic IIx, it will take any 2-channel stereo or even 5.1 material and convert it to convincing 7.1 (not mono rears) sound. I think this receiver also has something called DTS 96/24 which I guess also improves audio recordings.
