Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

Not addressed to me but...

We have been discussing the auto surround mode switching of Denon / Marantz AVRs. (And the AVRs capability (or not) to remember user choices of output mode for each sound format).

Other brands may or may not have similar difficulties in automatically switching between streaming Atmos content and DD+ content (in the specific case where you don't want to use Dolby Surround upmixer for DD+). I don't know.

The other factor in all this is that the source also has to correctly send the metadata to identify the sound format. This is perhaps especially important when the programme sound format changes without switching between AVR inputs.

Thanks, I had lost track!

Awesome, that's a whole new world to dive into. I was just getting started with REW and have made some nice changes in the 20-300Hz region (mostly the massive 35Hz and 70Hz room gain spikes). Luckily my Arendal 1723 1S subwoofer also has a 7 band PEQ built-in. Thanks for helping me out here!

I have to say, I thought I knew a little bit about home theater and AVR. I admit I just read your post and have no idea what most of your reply even means!

Stick around, you'll get an education just by osmosis
