“I have a Vizio P75-F1 television. It has ARC but I don't think it's eARC. Is it possible to get Atmos with this setup? I'm thinking many others are in the same boat of having ARC but not eARC.”

I only have HDMI ARC on my tv but I use an Xbox one X which suppors Atmos. So I have my Soundbar connected to my Xbox and have no issues playing Atmos content even though my TV only has HDMI ARC. As long as the receiver, in my case the xbox one X, could be a Bluray player or PlayStation supports Atmos, it doesn't matter if the TV is Atmos capable or not.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Plug your Atmos device(s) directly to the soundbar and then connect to the TV via the ARC port. This would be the easiest way to guarantee the Atmos to work on the soundbar.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a difference in how Atmos is handled between TV’s that support arc or earc. Tv’s that only have arc can pass through Dolby atmos but there are limitations in its quality/speaker count versus those TVs that utilize earc. I dont recall the exact differences, but a quick google search should help you learn the differences in how Atmos is handled on ARC vs eARC. Tldr: higher fidelity Atmos on tvs with eARC.
