So far i have listened to Avengers, Iron Man 3, Oblivion, War Horse, MI4 (7.1 True HD track just to complicate things), World War Z, and probably another that i cant remember right now as im a bit fried thinking about all this. What about when listening? Is there a difference, does it seem its only playing the lossy core playing and is there a difference between lossy and lossless?

This is what Anthem has stated happens, to all receivers. So, this seems to indicate that it is reverting to the lossy DTS 5.1 core when playing a 7.1 track on a 5.1 set up. For a 7.1 track on a 5.1 setup it says DTS MA 3/4 on line one, and DTS 5.1 on line 2. For 7.1 tracks on a 7.1 setup it says DTS MA 3/4 on line one, and None on line 2. In the case of 5.1 tracks on a 5.1 setup it shows on line one DTS MA 3/2 and None on line 2 of the display.

when watching a movie I can press the "Audio" button on the remote ("info" does this too) and it will tell me the incoming signal and the outgoing signal. This means I can easily go from 7.1 to 5.1 and back. With the Anthem there is the ability in the setup menu to set the aux output between surround backs and zone 2 on the fly. So, as I had a spare pair of Monitor Audio Radius R90's i thought I would hook them up and have a play to see what i found. Have we been demoing a 5.1 lossy DTS track when we thought we were demoing a "down mixed" (if i can use this, on AVS it has been stated there is no encoding going on, only decoding - implication of this is does there need to be encoding to go from 7.1 to 5.1 MA?) 7.1 to 5.1 DTS MA track. War Horse, Tron Legacy, Oblivion etc are all 7.1 and favourites for demoing systems. It has been stated by people at Anthem UK and USA that all receivers will only play the lossy 5.1 DTS core when playing a 7.1 DTS MA track on a 5.1 system. For those of you who haven't read that, there has been this discussion For those of you who have read the Anthem threads on here and AVS you will be aware there has been some discussion as to what happens when you are playing a 7.1 DTS MA soundtrack on a 5.1 system.
