Dolby Atmos® gives you immersive listening experience by delivering sound in three dimensional space, and all the richness, clarity, and power of Dolby sound. For more information, please visit dolby.com/technologies/dolby-atmos
For using Dolby Atmos®

  • Dolby Atmos® is available only in HDMI mode. For the details of the connection, please refer to “HDMI Connection”.
  • To use Dolby Atmos® in HDMI1, HDMI2 and HDMI ARC/eARC mode, your TV has to support Dolby Atmos®.
  • Make sure that “No Encoding“ is selected for bitstream in the audio output of the connected external device (e.g. Blu-ray DVD player, TV etc.).

NOTE: The full Dolby Atmos experience is only available when the soundbar is connected to the source via a HDMI 2.0 cable. The soundbar will still function when connected via other methods (such as a Digital Optical cable) but these are unable to support all of the Dolby features. Given this, our recommendation is to connect via HDMI, in order to ensure full Dolby support.
