Rotel XS (eXtended Surround) processing that automatically ensures optimum extended surround performance on 6.1 and 7.1 channel systems. The key benefit of Rotel XS is that it works at all times with all multichannel digital signals, even those that might not otherwise activate proper surround decoding for the center back channel(s). Always active in any system configured with center back speaker(s), Rotel XS monitors the surround channels, properly decodes them, and distributes the extended surround channels to the center back speaker(s). Rotel XS works with matrix-encoded surround signals (such as Dolby Surround EX discs and non-flagged DTSES) as well as non-matrix digital source material (such as DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital 5.1, and even Dolby Pro Logic II decoded Dolby Digital 2.0 recordings) to derive superb center back
channel surround effects.
