Enjoying Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X™
Playing back Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content creates realistic sound that comes from
every direction, including overhead. To receive the full effect of Dolby Atmos or DTS:X
content, we recommend a speaker system with presence speakers.
NOTE
For details on the speaker system with the presence speakers, see the following:
“Using 7.1/5.1.2-channel system” (p.21)
“Using 5.1.2-channel system” (p.22)
About Dolby Atmos

Neither surround back nor presence speakers are used.
Headphones are used (2-channel playback).

FRONT) does not work. For details, see the following:
