For every output, a different sound source can be accessed simultaneously in different zones.

Surround Sound Supported: DTS, DTS-ES, DTS-HD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener.

Great Preamp
I was shocked when I hooked up this Marantz. I'm using two Sunfire Cinema Grands Amps to six Martin Logans. My Martin Logans really sing. The sound is amazing. Set up using the Audyssey room correction was so easy. All I need now are four speakers in the ceiling and I'll be set for Dolby Atmos.
