The 2310 lets you direct two different A/V sources to two different areas in the house using just the source components in the living room. Get ready to zone out a little. There's surround sound, and then there's high definition surround sound. Seven full channels of uncompressed, studio-quality audio such as that found on HD sources like Blu-ray Disc. Taking full advantage of the HD audio experience requires more than seven speakers and a Blu-ray player, however.

Not only does the 2310 home theater receiver sport Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio decoding for seamless processing of the HD audio on favorite Blu-ray movie, but it also serves up the latest from Dolby . . . Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Incorporating two front "height" channels into the surround sound constellation, Pro Logic IIz decoding adds a new dimension of spatial sensation to movies, music, and video games.
