Surround Sound Smorgasbord - This receiver not only provides you all the surround sound excitement of Dolby Digital and DTS, it takes it a big step further with the latest advances in home theater sound; Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES. Dolby Digital EX is an extended version of the Dolby Digital Multichannel Audio System that adds a matrixed surround back channel. Through a sophisticated encoding and decoding process, surround (back speakers) is reproduced by three different signals instead of the two surround channels of traditional Dolby Digital. This produces higher definition and a smoother sense of motion. DTS-ES is upward compatible with the conventional DTS format and significantly improves 360-degree localization and spatial expression creating even more realistic surround effects than before. Depending on your system and personal preference, you can choose DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 for playback of DTS soundtracks. You can even enjoy 6.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources thanks to DTS Neo:6 surround. Dolby Pro Logic II processing also provides options for enjoying surround sound from stereo sources with both movie and music modes. Powerful Connections - The RXD211S gives you some interesting connection options. It offers high quality component video inputs and outputs along with S-Video and composite hook-ups. The RXD211S will even up-convert lesser signals to component video for high quality output. But the most interesting connection on the RXD211S has to be the USB input. It allows you to receive audio signals from your PC, so you can listen to music you've downloaded from the internet (legally, of course) through your home sound system. There are also 2 digital audio inputs (1 optical, 1 assignable coaxial) for high quality digital audio transfer. Receive Signals From Space - With an optional antenna and a service subscription, the RXD211S can receive and play XM Satellite Radio. XM is a satellite radio service with digital-quality sound and over 100 digital channels -- 100 percent commercial-free music channels, over 30 channels of news, sports, talk and entertainment, and over 20 channels of traffic and weather information. To listen to XM Satellite Radio, you need an XM Connect and Play Antenna (not included) and a subscription to XM Satellite Radio service. The RXD211S also has a SIRIUS input and SIRIUS control on the included remote control. Digital Acoustics Processor - The JVC Digital Acoustics Processor (DAP) allows digital recreation of acoustic environments, like halls and pavilions, in your media room. JVC developed a new sound field simulation technology jointly with one of the leading concert hall designers and contractors. Capable of handling multichannel sources, it makes use of a vast amount of data for the creation of sound field patterns that are difficult with conventional processing systems based on field-measured impulse responses. Each sound field pattern is verified
