What is DOLBY ATMOS®?

Dolby Atmos® transports you from the ordinary into the extraordinary with breathtaking, moving audio that fills your room and flows above and around you.
Dolby Atmos gives you amazing experience you have never heard before by overhead sound, and all the richness, clarity, and power of Dolby sound.

Using DOLBY ATMOS®:

DOLBY ATMOS is only available in HDMI (e-ARC) mode. For the details of the connection, please refer to “HDMI Connection”.

To use Dolby Atmos® in HDMI (e-ARC) mode, your TV has to support Dolby Atmos®.
Make sure that “No Encoding” is selected for bitstream in the digital audio output of the connected external device (e.g. Blu-ray DVD player, TV etc.).
