Can a Dolby Digital receiver decode Dolby Digital Plus?

Can you get Dolby Digital Plus through optical?

What kind of signal does the Denon AVR get?

The ARC connection provided a Dolby Atmos signal to the AVR which plays as 7.2 to my speakers. I learned over in the Denon receiver thread that the signal is contained in a Dolby digital lossy package. I thought the eARC carried a lossless signal. It will, but eARC is not yet implemented.

Can you use Dolby True HD on a Denon 1911?
