“Does this Denon AVR-S970H receiver support Dolby Atmos in a 5.1 speaker arrangement? I have an older Pioneer receiver that requires a 7.1 speaker arrangement to support Atmos - I don't have room for a 7.1 system, and I want Atmos.”

Hi AtmosSeeker, Yes - you can have Dolby Atmos with a five speaker + sub-woofer arrangement connected to an AVR-S970H. It would be configured as a 3.1.2 set-up. You would connect your Atmos speakers to the surround back terminals on the back panel of the AVR-S970H (after assigning that pair to 'height' speakers), and not connect anything to the surround speaker terminals. Rear speakers can be added when you choose to do so.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This receiver will support Atmos in a 5.1.2 configuration. The position of the Atmos speakers will be up to you, but the channels are available.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to get a pair of height speakers for atmos which this receiver does support.
