“In order to get the Atmos content, do I just use 1 HDMI from TV to soundbar? And then all other devices hooked to tv? Or do I need to hook each device separately up to the sound bar?”

You just use 1 HDMI cable that's included from the tv to the soundbar if your tv has the newest HDMI ARC plug hole (this is shaped just like an ordinary HDMI plug, but the ARC is a 2-way superhighway that transfers all digital information to the sounder and back from the soundbar to the tv). With this one connection your soundbar will receive the audio for any device plugged into your tv. But this means the quality is determined by those other connections - they would have to be full digital connections to transfer ATMOS 5.1.2. For instance, if you have an old dvd player hooked into your tv, the best signal you can send to your soundbar through the HDMI ARC plug would be limited by that dvd player, so you wouldn't get ATMOS. But if you had some other device going into your tv that was ATMOS, then your tv would send that whole signal to the soundbar through the HDMI ARC port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All you need is 1 HDMI from the TV to the sound bar and connect each device to the TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If your devices output Dolby Digital+ Atmos the television may be able (dependent of manufacturer) to pass all audio to the sound bar. If using TrueHD Atmos content you will need to connect your devices directly to the sound bar.
