Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D Upgradeable
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound technologies dispense with channel-based coding in favor of object-based coding, giving the sound designer the
ability to precisely place sounds anywhere in the 3-dimensional space. The NR1604, features the ability to connect a 5.1 surround sound speaker system
and 4 additional overhead speakers (or 4 additional Dolby Atmos elevation speakers) for the ultimate home cinema experience. Thanks to the 11ch
processing capability, you can just add an external 2-channel amplifier and even enjoy a thrilling 7.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos or DTS:X experience. Dolby
Surround Upmixer and DTS Neural:X Upmixer are also in place to simulate 3D sound from standard formats.
Auro-3D Upgrade
By fully immersing the listener in a cocoon of life-like sound, Auro-3D puts you right in the middle of the action. Auro-3D provides an immersive surround
sound experience thanks to dedicated height and overhead channels, in addition to the regular channels. The height information, captured in recording or
created during the mixing process, is mixed into a standard 5.1 PCM stream that comes with a regular Blu-ray. Moreover, the Auro-3D engine recognizes
mono, stereo, 5.1 surround or an Auro-encoded signal and transforms them into 3D audio. Once upgraded with the Auro-Codec decoder, the NR1604 is
capable of decoding the original Auro-3D mix and playing back an Auro-3D 10.1 channel configuration (with external amplifier).
