If a films track is not Atmos if there are surround backs will it switch to an audio format that uses surround backs?
So it's worthwhile installing 2 surround backs whilst im setting up the sound system after a new carpet fit and atmos speaker installation on the off chance non atmos films use a format that will use the surround backs?
Some recommendations for films further back in this thread.Thanks Dante01. 4 speakers installed. Just setting up amp. What films are good to experience the Atmos?
Keeping my eye out for a second hand 11.2 Denon 6400.
Thanks, stuipid question how do I attach this then to my set up to get 7.1.4. Also I presume I just place it on a shelf like a DVD player etc? Could I power the 2 back surrounds with this? Is it complicated?
Is it possible to get my LG C9 TV to play true Dolby HD (not lossy DD+) Atmos content to my non eARC (ARC) Onkyo 686 AVR by using two HDMI cables? I just purchased the receiver and thought it was eARC capable, but was misinformed by one of the review sites.

I just got the same tv and I can confirm that the 686, for my surprise, does support e-arc, tested with the embedded Netflix app and my PC connected to one HDMI on the tv using VLC.
Here is a good source for just that:ok amp and speakers all set up, test levels done, how can I check they are really working well! Any demos I can do now etc via ipad to Denon 4400 amp? I tried latest Star Wars and it said Atmos on amp but would like a demo to really hear the atmos speakers sing? Anything I can view on sky q or download and play on it etc?
There are som high bitrate 4k-trailers.These trailers are sadly low quality.
Only some. I compared them to my original discs and the dynamics and loudness are nowhere near the originals which defeats the purpose mostly.There are som high bitrate 4k-trailers.
Any overhead speaker will do if placed well. Obviously the wider the dispersion the better.I've a 5.1 configuration based on focal chorus drivers, where the two surrounds are in in ceiling speakers. In particular i've Focal Chorus 826v on the Front, focal chorus 800c central, two IC706v for the surround. Due to successive modifications to the furniture in the living room, the two in ceiling speakers are now just over the head of the viewer sitting on the sofa. Do you think those speakers could be useful for a basic atmos experience?
I plan to add a couple of rear surround, do you have suggestions on the brand/model to choose?
If your receiver doesn't have speakers in the Atmos domain and is in that case not configured for Atmos then the metadata contained within the Dolby Digital Plus signal is not processed and the amp will just show DD Plus. No speakers......no Atmos.Can anyone explain to me why Atmos does not show up as an option when streaming Atmos content from a streaming service (e.g.: amazon prime/Netflix/vudu)? I understand it’s a compressed tressed version of Atmos on a streaming service, but it’s still ‘object based’. Also, I’m not running Atmos speakers but that doesn’t effect Atmos object based instructions to the receiver. In other words even though I’m running 5.2.0 wouldn’t atmos content direct the audio objects to existing layout?
