Input
Format
Audio format of the input signal
Channel
The number of source channels in the input signal (front/surround/LFE)
For example, “5.1 (3/2/0.1)” means 5.1ch in total (3 front channels, 2 surround channels, and LFE).

(When DTS:X content is played back)
For example, “7.1.4” denotes “standard 7.1-channel plus 4 for overhead speaker channels”.
