Dolby™ Volume
A constant annoyance for home theater users has been the significant
differences in volume levels as you switch between channels or sources on
your televisions and in your home entertainment systems. Variances in vol-
ume levels in DVD and Blu-ray Disc™, digital music files, compact discs,
and broadcast entertainment programming each compound the problem,
forcing you to reach for the remote controls to adjust. Dolby Volume lets
you select a preferred listening level and enjoy all of your entertainment
sources at the same volume level. For complete information on Dolby Volume,

Multiple Surround Sound Formats
The Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 supports the latest surround codecs of Dolby
True HD, Dolby Atmos, and DTS-HD Master, along with traditional
formats of Dolby Digital 5.0 and DTS High Resolution. A powerful 32-bit
DSP processor enables the Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 to decode all current
discrete surround digital formats available for 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1. In addition
your Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 has the capabilities to process two chan-
nel signals using Dolby Surround and DTS Neo to provide multi-channel
output.
Dirac Loudspeaker Setup and Room Equalization
The Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 comes with an external USB sound card
and microphone. These are used with an external computer on the same
network, to measure the sound output of the system, and automatically
calculate the speaker settings and also apply the optimized EQ settings to
the Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9.
Audio Return Channel
Connect the HDMI 1 output to an HDMI 1.4 display device’s ARC (Au-
dio Return Channel) enabled input, to receive the audio signals from the
sources connected directly to the display. In the list of available inputs,
choose the one called “Display” to select the ARC source.
Multi-Zone Operations
Since we know your audio and experiences may extend beyond one room,
the Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 is equipped with outputs for a secondary
zone. This means you could be enjoying your home theater in one room
and another member of the family could be listening to their favorite CD in
another room. The second zone is also equipped with an HDMI output so
you can expand your video options even more.
