Can I get Dolby Atmos with this unit.

Yes. If the title has an Atmos encoded soundtrack, your basic Blu-Ray player can read it and stream the content over HDMI. But you will need Dolby Atmos capable receiver to decode it. An Atmos capable receiver will also have dedicated speaker outputs for the 'height' channels. The height channels are meant to go in-ceiling or come from above the listener. You will need in-ceiling speakers or special Atmos enabled speakers that can re-create the sound elevation. In short, you can use this unit to play Atmos encoded content but you will need much more than that to actually hear it.

5.2.2 ( Front Speakers, Center speaker, Surround speaker, In Ceiling or Up Firing Speakers ) Plus Outputs for 2 sub woofers. In Dolby Atmos Mode7.2 ( Front, Center, Back Speakers, Surround Speakers ) Plus Outputs for 2 sub woofers Without Atmos enabled.Or you can set up a straight 5.2 setup I hope This Clears things up. If you had 7.2.2 you would need a receiver with a 9 channel amp The TX NR-636 only has a 7 channel ampCheers :-)

Using dolby digital live it can listen in stereo but not record, you'll need third-party software to record it.

Hi Sal, Digital Audio out of the TV supports PMC/Dolby Digital Optical signals only. -Vincent

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.

Yes. From the technical details: Built In Decoder: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital, DTS decoder

You can definitely do Dolby through optical. To do it with HDMI, you need a TV equipped with HDMI-ARC (Audio Return Channel). You can have your receiver and/or sound bar, with your various devices (Blu-Ray, PS3)end HDMI video to the TV and the return the sound using the same cable.

I used the optical stereo cable and had very good results. That might be a better option.

Not sure what you mean by True Dolby. In my set up my Yamaha receiver only supports 2 Toslink inputs and I needed to support 3 devices. Currently have my Xbox One, PS4 and 360 converging at this point and outputting to my receiver through a single line. My receiver recognizes all devices as having 5.1 surround. Recognizes DTS and Dolby through the switch.

It only has RCA jacks for L-R audio. There are no audio outputs for Dolby 5.1; no optical output for audio either.

Beats me. All I know is that your output must be strictly optical digital or it won't work. Apparently JVC couldn't come up with the technology to differentiate between pcm and dolby sound. I have it hooked to the analog which is at least better then the lousy speakers on the TV.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

All it should take is a firmware update to make the receiver atmos compliant

Visually you won't see anything, it only has the small light for the 3 different modes. But you should be able to hear the difference....especially when in Dolby Digital.

Yes I believe you can. You just need you audio inputs still I believe. The quality Wasn't the best for me. It's ok but not HD.
