Thank you for your help. I was struggling to find details of the essential decoder as well. Might go back to bitstream and change to PCM when needed if you loose clarity in the soundtrack.

I'm going to upgrade to the NR1606 with Atmos next year. Do you think the seemless branching that Lionsgate use will be an issue with that receiver and my 7007 player?
