All current digital audio formats are supported by the Model 1070, including Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS-ES and DTS-96/24. Matrix processing options include Dolby ProLogic IIx, DTS Neo:6, Dolby Virtual Speaker, Dolby Headphone and selectable 5, 6 and 7 channel stereo modes. It also includes an analog bypass mode to cut out unnecessary digital to analog conversions.

A variety of inputs exist for video and audio connections. On the video side, two DVI inputs (compatible with HDMI signals), four composite or S-Video inputs and three component inputs provide a wide array of options for video playback devices. Cross conversion in the Model 1070 allows composite and S-Video sources to be viewed as component video.
