Dolby Atmos®
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.
Use Dolby Atmos®
Dolby Atmos® is available in HDMI mode. For the details of the connection, please refer to “HDMI Connection”.
1 To use Dolby Atmos® in HDMI in/
HDMI eARC/ARC mode, your TV has
to support Dolby Atmos®
