Dolby Atmos - Pioneer 2016 Manual

Audio Formats & Licenses
DTS:X™
1131
DTS:X is the next-generation audio codec from
DTS that leverages object-based audio to
enable new immersive and interactive audio
experiences. Since DTS:X can automatically adapt the audio to
the existing channels and speaker system, no specific speaker
layout is required. Experience an immersive soundscape with
incredibly rich and life-like audio. The format is backward
compatible with DTS-HD Master Audio, so you can also give
new life to your movie collection.
* DTS:X will be available with future firmware update.
Dialog Control
1131
The feature lets you independently control the volume of
dialog encoded in DTS:X—a useful feature for people hard of
hearing, or for late-night movie viewing.

Dolby Atmos

®
1131
Dolby Atmos is a unique technology for enjoying the
latest surround sound. In a movie cinema, overhead
speakers are placed, with a multi-layer approach to
the sound design. On top of the conventional
channel-based soundtrack, object-oriented mixing is used to
layer dynamic sound elements, so regardless of the cinema's
speaker setup, independent sound elements can move around
freely in a three-dimensional space. Compared to Dolby Digital
with discrete channels, Dolby Atmos offers seamless surround
sound movement with up to 64 separate speaker output and a
sense of height created by the overhead speakers. The sound is
completely in sync with the screen view, providing total
immersion with unprecedented sound localisation and
movement.
This cinema sound experience can be reproduced in your home
with Pioneer's Dolby Atmos AV receiver, which not only decodes
Dolby Atmos, but also reproduces Dolby Atmos in an ideal
sound stage.
DTS Neural:X™
1131
DTS Neural:X is the latest down/up-mixing and spatial
remapping technology built into DTS:X. It provides an up-mix of
Neural:X encoded and non-encoded (PCM) data and can produce
up to 11.x channels, letting you enjoy a more realistic
atmosphere regardless of the original audio format.
* DTS Neural:X will be available with future firmware update.
Dolby Surround
1131
The new surround sound effectively up-mixes legacy channel-
based content for reproduction on a Dolby Atmos environment,
expanding the original source to fill the speaker layout of a
Dolby Atmos system.
