Yes the receiver will decode both Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio. The latter are lossless formats and the former are immersive object oriented sound formats that work with either compressed or non-compressed formats.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This was sort of my question too! It states in the Description "Overview", that it does Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization. Yet, when you go to the the specs, it does not list it. It only says "Dolby Surround", which may encompass Dolby Atmos in that generalized name. I would like it to be clarified though. My Onkyo 4k Dolby Atmos/Dolby Vision receiver I just bought several months ago, just crapped out on me. One or two of the HDMI inputs stopped working all together randomly and has never recovered since. I did not get the extended protection, like an idiot, I guess. So now I need a new receiver for a 5.1 setup, with Dolby Atmos decoding and even more importantly, Dolby Vision video pass-through for my new LG 4K Dolby Vision OLED TV. Otherwise, I wont be taking advantage of the Dolby vision feature, when playing 4K UHD Blurays with encoded Dolby Vision. Also, after using my last (2019 model) receiver, I really enjoyed the "DTS: Virtual X" audio decoder on non-Dolby Atmos UHD Bluray content. It sounds great, if you only have a 5.1 system or do not have a true "DTS X" speaker setup. It's a little hard to describe the sound it produces, but In comparison to other DTS Master and Dolby Digital encodes, its gives off a richer and more pronounced surround sound effect, that sounds quite excellent. It's an excellent alternative to Dolby Atmos 4k blu-ray content, if the movie/show only has DTS Master and DTS X audio encoding. The DTS Neural X, is not bad either, but is a less pronounced surround effect. My number One Audio format, would be Dolby Atmos, then DTS X's "Virtual X" for speaker setups, that aren't a true DTS X setup. One of the best Dolby Atmos sound examples, that can be used as a demo, would be using the 4K UHD Blu-ray version of the movie, Mortal Engines. Specifically, the movie's introduction chase scene, that involves the large developed mobile city, running down the nimble small-sized, underdeveloped mobile city. It has excellent Dolby Atmos surround sound effects. So, instead of answering your question properly, I have just rambled on about some cool sounding audio formats..lol, sorry. Thanks for reading anyway!
