I have recently purchased a brand new 65 inch ULED 4K TV (Hisense), and was surprised when attempting to play a 4K movie from my external hard drive connected to the TV, that the audio file was not supported. It's an mkv file, and it's in Dolby Atmos format. I have an Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV...
I have an older AV receiver (Onkyo 608) that does 7.2 It has connections for 2 front highs, really making it 9.2. My set-up now is 7.1. and am using my Sammy K8500 (3D/4K) for pass through. My question is, could I connect 2 Atmos in-ceiling speakers to those front highs and will I get 7.2.2...

I didn't see a post about this but since it is cause a lot of talk in the Facebook home theater forums I thought I would share. In case you didn't hear a new format has officially launched.
HDR10+, basically the same as Dolby Vision but free (only a association fee) and only 10bit. Samsung...
I have a Samsung 4k Smart Tv and an old Technics SA-EX700 Dolby Surround AV-Receiver and I want to be able to get the sound from the TV to play on the sound system connected to the AV control.
Since the audio output of the TV is digital (Toslink connection) and the input from of the ampliphier...
I was unable to find a clear list of Dolby Vision UHD blu Rays. Are the discs even labeled?
The two confirmed titles that I know of are:
Despicable Me
Despicable Me 2
Are there others?
I am also unable to find confirmed Dolby Vision information for The Lego Batman Movie UHD blu ray.
I hope...

I did not enjoy LA LA LAND
Oh, I give credit to Hollywood for at least trying to capture the splendor of musicals of yesteryear, but alas, this is one of the most joyless and boring films...

Bit confused. Recently purchased a Yamaha VX-581 Dolby Atmos receiver. And also the Samsung 4K player along with the LG OLED 65 E6
I just popped in Jack Reacher and it says to enable bit stream out to enjoy Dolby Atmos. Had it set on PCM

When the studio sends out a screener hoping for a review, one has no choice but to give that film a look no matter how uninspired by the content. In this case, a family film by the name of Monster Trucks. For me, these were two subject matters that I had little interest in exploring...
While I completely understand the fact that Mel Gibson, as a person, is not someone who is widely admired -- I continue to be a huge admirer of the films he directs. It's very hard to argue that some of the greatest films of this generation include those directed by Mr. Gibson: Braveheart, The...
I'm almost embarrassed to have to be asking this question as up until now I've known everything about sound (haven't even had a setup without surround since 1989), but after looking through options I'm just a bit confused. What I would LIKE to do is replace my current 7.1 receiver (which doesn't...
Deepwater Horizon is a Blu-ray release that should be celebrated for its highly energetic Dolby Atmos soundtrack. However, before I can even begin to praise the work that has been done on this sound mix, I need to instead rant against those responsible for abandoning Atmos on Blu-ray.

I have an old receiver that has Dolby Surround. Most of the content I play is Dolby Digital. Is my receiver capable of playing back the surround sound coded into my content, or is it just playing stereo?
I rarely go to movie theaters. The picture and sound from my home theater is so good that it takes a lot to get me to the theater. However, people have been talking so much about Dolby Cinemas, and how much better they are than the typical movie theater, that I decided to give it a try. I...
