DTS HD Formats Question...


So a while back, I was looking at DTS's website and was really impressed with the flexibility apparently afforded by their new sound formats found on BluRay and HD DVD. According the the site, you can configure your setup in a host of manners. There are modes with a normal 6.1 setup plus a ceiling speaker, two ways to do dual fronts (front high and front wide) yadayada.

So the question is whether any of these are supported. Do any receivers actually do the processing for these? If so, how does it handle Dolby material?

Also, DTS states that its first priority with the new formats was reverse compatability with older AVRs. Is this still only through HDMI? I cant get DTS through optical on my PS3.

Heres a link to the site I'm yammering about:
