General Dolby Atmos Home Setup Guidelines
The following components are needed to set up a Dolby Atmos home theater system.
•
A source device to play Dolby Atmos content. Many existing devices will work.
•
An A/V receiver (AVR) or processor unit capable of supporting Dolby Atmos.
•
Speakers to reproduce overhead or height audio.
•
Speakers to reproduce listener-level audio. Note: In many cases, the client’s
existing speakers may be employed in a Dolby Atmos home theater.

Dolby Atmos Home Playback
Source device options to play or stream content
To experience this sound revolution, you’ll need a way to play or stream Dolby
Atmos content. There are two initial pathways into the home theater:
• You can play Dolby Atmos content encoded on a Blu-ray Disc™ through an
existing Blu-ray Disc player. Be sure you have a recent player that’s fully
compliant with Blu-ray™ specifications.
2
• You can stream Dolby Atmos content from a compatible game console, Blu-
ray, or streaming media player.
In both cases, be sure to set your player to bitstream output and ensure that
secondary audio functionality is disabled. Connect to your AVR using an HDMI
®
connection.

AVR or processor capable of supporting Dolby Atmos
You’ll be able to assemble a system from a wide range of available A/V components,
starting with an AVR or preprocessor that supports Dolby Atmos decoding and
rendering. Leading AVR manufacturers are introducing products that support Dolby
Atmos playback for the home.
1
With the exception of the center and center surround speakers, all speakers in a Dolby Atmos playback
system (listener level, overhead, Dolby Atmos enabled) must be added in pairs.
2
You will not need to replace your Blu-ray player as long as it fully conforms to the Blu-ray specification.
Current-generation Blu-ray players, and most recent players, are compatible. You should check with the
Blu-ray player manufacturer if you encounter problems.
3
Decoding and rendering of Dolby Atmos content is managed entirely by the AVR. To properly pass the
Dolby Atmos audio to the AVR, source devices must be connected to the AVR via HDMI 1.4 or later and
set to audio bitstream out. For Blu-ray players, the secondary audio mixing option must be disabled.
