I doubt it.  We can’t get it to work for just the tv consistently.

Hi Jhill,

Thank you for your inquiry. The receiver can receive Dolby Atmos signals from a TV connected to the receiver by using the eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) function. If you use a TV compatible with eARC, you can output the high quality sound by connecting an AV device (gaming console) to the HDMI IN jack on the TV. In this case, enable the eARC function of the TV.

Be sure to perform the operation described in this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/ha/strdh79/v1/en/contents/TP0001628978.html

You can also output HDMI signals to the TV even when the receiver is in standby mode (STBY.THRU). Press AMP MENU, then select "HDMI" - "STBY.TRHU" on the display panel. Check this link for more details: https://helpguide.sony.net/ha/strdh79/v1/en/contents/TP0001553371.html

Regards,
Jess
