It very likely depends on your TV and if it can send Dolby Atmos through the HDMI ARC output. If Netflix says Atmos is supported on your TV, then you'll probably be good to go. I ran into an issue where I tried using the Apple 4kTV through my TV instead of connecting it through the soundbar itself and was not able to output Dolby Atmos. Hooking it in directly to the soundbar defaulted to the Atmos track. I haven't tried using the Vudu app on my TV to see if that will output Atmos over HDMI ARC, but once I do I will update this answer. It stinks that it's so app and manufacturer specific at the moment, but if you want to avoid those hassles the simplest route would be to get an Apple TV, 4k blu-ray player, or other device that can be connected directly to the soundbar itself. I'm fairly confident that Netflix will output Dolby Atmos through the Apple 4kTV and it won't matter what kind of TV you have.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Also, none of the apps( Netflix, Vudu, Amazon) support Lossless dolby atmos, only a compressed version. Even if they did support lossless atmos, ARC does not and far as I have heard no word on if Samsung will upgrade to eARC which does. So to get full lossless atmos you need a 4k player, tthat supports it, the atmos disc and run it through one of the hdmi ports on the soundbar.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. ALSO DTSX, and Dolby Vision.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You are only partly correct... Dolby Atmos is achieved by the particular source material..ie movie or documentary soundtracks where the producer instilled these qualities..
