This includes the sounds that swirl around you or come from above your head. Home Theater Speaker Options- While designing an in-home theater, you have to be more creative (with Dolby) in order to fully be involved with everything that is happening on the screen.This step is crucial in order to have the Dolby Atmos audio objects dispersed among the correct speakers. This is what allows the correct speaker type and location to be connected to the room playback configuration. Most of the AVRs will be set up through the user interface or through something referred to as microphone detection. The Dolby Atmos speakers/overhead speakers need to be connected to those height-capable outputs. Although some AVRs do not use the “HEIGHT” label for all capable channels, instead they allow you to assign specific terminals for the height speaker outputs via the user interface on the setup menu. AVR (Audio Video Receiver) Connection/Setup- A majority of AVRs that are Dolby Atmos-enabled have connections labeled “HEIGHT”.Using an HDMI connection, connect all of your devices to your Dolby Atmos-enabled AVR. In addition, be sure that the secondary audio functionality is disabled. * For each of these applications, it is important to set the audio output of your device to bitstream output. The content can also be played from your Dolby Atmos-enabled cable set-top box (if you are in an area that provides this).If you have games with Dolby Atmos soundtracks you can play them from a personal computer or through HDMI ® while connected to your Dolby Atmos-enabled AVR or processor.Some game consoles are compatible to play Blu-ray or multi-media streaming player and some even are playable through smart T.V.s on certain applications.Dolby Atmos content is playable through a Blu-ray disc player if the content is encoded on a Blue-ray disc.For an in-home theater there are a few options that allow you to do this: Home Playback- Most importantly, in order to successfully experience this system you will need a way to play Dolby Atmos content from a device.The issue with channels is that if the screen shows a tornado, circling the screen and coming down from above, the audial experience will not be as realistic due to the lack of speakers. So, if there is someone yelling at you from the left, then that sound will be assigned to the left positioned speaker. These channels are assigned to certain speakers that are placed in the room. While watching normal films, on a regular T.V., with a sub-par speaker system, the sound is delivered to you on channels. Instead of having the sounds designated to one specific speaker, it is positional, so if it is a helicopter flying closely above your head on the screen, then that is how you will hear it. This is what gives you the feeling of real-life involvement and allows you to enjoy every sound in a “positional view”.

With the concept of having any sound mixed as an audio object, the sound is then placed by itself into three-dimensional space. The Dolby Atmos system places sound above the audience and this is what makes most of the experience work so well.
DOLBY ATMOS SOUND SYSTEM MOVIE
The ultimate goal of this system is to make you as the viewer (and listener) feel like you are right in the middle of the action, in the scene of the movie right on the screen. This is what allows sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects.

It’s metadata that is used by compatible audio gear to control which speakers are reproducing certain sounds.ĭolby Atmos was made to replicate every sound in the original cinema mix as an audio object. It is the first cinematic audio format where sounds exist as individual entities, referred to as audio objects. For those of you who are audiophiles, Dolby is definitely the best hearing experience that you can possibly hope for in an in-home theater.

Dolby Atmos surround sound has been compared to the clarity of a 4k T.V., only it's for your ears.
