About Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers
Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers reflect the sound off the ceiling to allow the sound to come from over your head by using a special upward-pointing speaker that is placed on the floor.
You can enjoy the Dolby Atmos 3D sound even in an environment where speakers cannot be installed on the ceiling.
This unit is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X which offers an even wider and deeper surround sensation.
The “Speaker Virtualizer” must be set to “On” for Dolby Atmos playback with 5.1-channel speaker configurations or less. link
IMAX DTS:X / DTS:X can be selected regardless of the speaker configuration.
AURO-3D recommends adding FRONT HEIGHT and SURROUND HEIGHT speakers to a 5.1 speaker configuration. Optionally, you may substitute REAR HEIGHT, ceiling speakers, Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers instead of FRONT HEIGHT and SURROUND HEIGHT speakers for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and AURO-3D playback.
