Dolby Surround & Auro 3D 2CH Upmixer Settings to Achieve the Best Sound

In this video, I show a measurement comparison of what happens to the main left/right channel outputs of a stereo signal that goes through the Dolby Surround, Auro 3D and DTS:X Upmixers. I also suggest the proper settings for each upmixer to get the best sound IF your goal is to preserve the main 2CH stereo soundfield without compromising it to add a layer of surround sound on top of it.
