A Tutorial on how to Recieve both Dolby Vision & Atmos via Onkyo TX-NR 676 Reciever 

I would like to Apologize for one last step I forgot to mention , On your Reciever the return Atmos will be outputting on TV selection highlighted on your Reciever, just switch to TV selection on your Reciever & voila there you will see & hear Atmos separated from Dolby Vision screen.Im sorry I forgot to mention this, anyway if any problems let me know. Thanks

@OnlyOnPSVR2 My Onkyo is connected with HDMI to my PC, on my PC I have Dolby Atmos activated, but on my Receiver it writes Dolby Surround 5.1 not Dolby Atmos... Am I doing something wrong? I can't switch to Atmos with the controls

Hi I noticed your AV is not setup for Dolby Atmos and DTS X. You set it up for 7.1 using surround back speakers. You supposed to setup the height speakers or ceiling speakers. Then the AV can use that for Dolby Atmos or DTS X. This setup is 5.2.1(one sub) or 5.2.2(two subs).

probably your not going to react, but I have set everything the same way, but no dolby vision and no Dolby Atmos. What am I doing wrong?? could you please help me?

Hi. Maybe you can help me please. I have an LG OLED C9 with Onkyo HT-S5915. On netflix movies description I can see dolby vision and atmos but when i play it , on tv's top corner it appears the logo dobly vision but on my received Dolby Atmos will not show up, it remains only TV.

I have directly contacted Amazon 4k Firestick Onkyo NR656 and playing Atmos enabled movies, but receiver doesn't deliver any sound. NR656 shows Atmos and input sound nil and output sound nil. What to do. My TV is just 4k tv no vision no Atmos. So I have just connected TV for display and NR656 for sound. No tell me what to do

Do you have a problem with audio with a cable box. Just hooked up a cable box but it showi g picture with no video. Everything else works fine. Example Xbox and ps4 both have audio n video. Weird. I change the cable box to a different one and same problem

First of all you dont need a compatible dolby vision receiver to do what you did. Only if the source is passing by the receiver it would need to be dolby vision compatible. Cause by using ARC Only the sound is processing by the receiver but the image is processing by the tv. And same if you plug dolby vision devices directly in one of the tv hdmi input. Second point your système is not even configured to play atmos. you are in 7.1. not in 5.1.2 and. you ll need 2 specific atmos speakers for that. not side or back surrond speakers. Also while really playing in atmos there will be a special blue light on the onkyo receiver.

great vid man - I have an E7 + same amp.. using arc hdmi + optical cable out of tv to amp and dolby vision comes up but atmos doesn't for some reason - I am using the built in netflix app on the tv as it is atmos - where as my 4k apple tv is not (yet) - so not sure why atmos doesn't show on my amp likes yours... weirdness. thx for vid though man

surround sound died the minute soundbars got popular... if you want good surround watch older DTS content

what is the app you use for your movies library at 3:20 ?

Dolby vision is a hardware interface so you can't bridge it through a Onkyo receiver. So you must have a TV that support Dolby Vision like LG, TCL, Vizio, Hisense and now Sony. If you have a Samsung you can't get Dolby vision but you can get HDR and other Ultra 4k formats. You're receiver want give you Dolby Vision but you can get Dolby Atmos if you configure your speakers using the Onkyo remote. For example if you have a 7.2 system you can re-figure to 5.1.2 surround sound that gives you 5 surround sound, 1 sub woofer and two dolby atmos height speakers. If you have 9.2 surround sounds you can re-figure to 5.1.4 surround sound giving you 4 dolby atmos height speakers. If you have two sub woofers then it would be 5.2.4 surround sound. In order to get the Dolby Atmos I recommend you purchased the Onkyo dolby atmos bookshelf speakers. They are very affordable and they sound great. Place them as high as you can because the sound uses the ceiling to give you the overhead 360 degree sound. You'll know when you have it just right because it will sound like aircraft in movies are flying over your head.

Im unable to operatey onyko AV RECEIVER TX-NR 656

I need hlp bad I'm looking for a way to get Dolby atmos I need to know if the ok onkyo txsn676 is a good av receiver or should I get the 686 I want a receiver with IMAX enhance if I can or should I just get a Dolby atmos soundbar if I use a as c receiver what kind if speakers do I need

can someone please tell me if this works/ is supported (on a 656) when playing a atmos source and you plug in headphones do you get atmos headphone? the marantz i had before had a virtual option for headphones when playing a surround source but yeah cant find anything about it on onkyo.

Thank you! I was about to pull my hair out. Followup question - when I want to just listen to music it now turns my TV on as well. Any guidance on how to turn that feature off?

you didnt answer any questions in the comments...

Will Atmos work with a 5.1 set up??

This must have been a joke.

Vision and atmos have nothing to do with hdmi cec. You have to have a tv and teceivert and source that produces vision and atmos. Cec is just for controlling multiple hdmi devices as one device

Love my 617 65 tcl

Hi MR 4k UPSCALER, I need some help, I have been using atmos for quite some time both netflix and amazon (jack ryan was tested previously) on my LG E7 and onkyo receiver without any problems until the 2/5/2019 firmware update (this firmware say dolby vision and hlg hdr now available). now after the update The receiver is no longer decoding atmos (no sound at all) however there is a atmos/dd+ logo on the onkyo display. I called Onkyo and they basically are saying it was never suppose to work since atmos works only with eARC so i bought another same receiver from amazon and did no update the firmware and that one can play atmos just fine (older firmware out of the box tested), I don't know what can i really do since onkyo looks like purposely broke my receiver. any help is greatly aperitiated (onkyo receiver HT-L05, TV LG OLED 65E7)

Thank you so much. I new about the setting but i didnt know how to confirm that it was playing atmos since it was only saying dolby vision on the tv. When i looked at my onkyo tx-nr6050 receiver like you suggested and pressed movie i confirmed it was playing in atmos.

Are you able to get any other devices working properly when you are using ARC from the TV to the Onkyo? For example a XBox or CD player plugged into CBL/SAT will only give me video and no sound. The TV sound setting then gets stuck on HDMI ARC and won't change? Any ideas?

If you only bought the receiver and you're using previous Onkyo speakers, putting the system in Dolby Atmos want give you the sound you're trying to achieve. If you bought a complete Onkyo Dolby Atmos home theater, then you're good. If you are using your old speakers, you'll need to purchase Onkyo Dolby Atmos speakers. The bookshelf Dolby Atmos height speaker are pretty cheap normally 2 for under 200 bucks. This will put your system in 5.1.2 surround sound achieving the Dolby Atmos sound. FYI: When it comes to Dolby Vision only a few brand name TV have HDR and Dolby Vision (TCL, Visio, LG, Sony, Hisense, Toshiba, Sharp). Remember Dolby Vision is a hardware not a software so if you're TV doesn't have it, you can't add it in a software upgrade. You'll know if you have Netflex; most of their original shows are broadcast in Dolby Vision, if you're Netflex shows only show HDR or Ultra 4K then you don't have Dolby Vision). Notice Samsung is not on the list because they only support HDR and HDR 10. If you haven't bought a Onkyo receiver yet, I recommend getting a 9.1 or 9.2 system, this will allow you to add 4 bookshelf Dolby Atmos speaker immersing you in full 5.1.4 surrounded Dolby Atmos.

I just picked up the LG CX 65” and 55””. I have the Onkyo receiver with Atmos. But I’m only running 5.1. Will it make a difference turning on the Atmos if I’m only on 5.1. I am using back speakers and subwoofer at back.

Awsome video man thanks. Just picked this receiver up and wondered if I should turn of video processing on the receiver and let my lg b7 do the processing and also my ps4 pro? If so, how do I turn it off? Thanks for any help. You have a new sub ;)

Great content ? What listening mode do you think sounds better usually I have mine in all channels which listening mode you recommend to hear all sounds separate

I finally found something that worked with dolby atmos and my reciever was spazzing out between atmos and digital plus

Thank you so much for you help. Great video. Now my system is booming !!!!!!

Thank you

How do you tell what year a stereo came out?? I brought a HT -R398 off ebay

I might be right I might be wrong But don't you have to use Dolby Atmos speakers to Listen to Dolby Atmos sound .

I have an hw-k950 Samsung soundboard with Dolly Atmos hooked up to my Apple TV 4k. I downloaded the update and Dolby Atmos is working but, no Dolby Vision. How do I get both?

Thanks for the video. Quick question MR. 4K UPSCALER, may I know what blu ray player you're using?

Hi, i am Matt Damon. I play the only white guy in ancient China.

I have a Yamaha receiver but when i play Atmos movies on the receiver it displays as in: Dolby Atmos/DTHD.

This receiver is hdr10+ support? Or just hdr10 ?

Heads up need to change Model number in description to 676 ......

How are you liking your Onkyo? Has it given you any issues?

Hello, which button I had to press on the remote to see if Atmos is enabled? Thanks

Do I need a special hdmi cable or just any hdmi cable would work

What app is that with all the movies.

I got the same TV, but matched with the TX-NR656 and it says it is ATMOS capable, but I only get Dolby Digital + on the AVR, no ATMOS. WHY!?!?! Netflix shows ATMOS if I use the TV speakers, but using ARC, Netflix switches to 5.1. Why if the receiver supports ATMOS, does that happen? I can only seem to get ATMOS working via my Xbox One S. (NO ARC)

what type of hdmi cables are you using

Dust bunny.

MR 4k, what app u use on TV to play video?

What is video source r u using

You have helped me a lot 👍🏼

The tutorial looks very convincing. But there is something that does not fit... HDMI ARC can not transmit dolby atmos or any other format higher than 5.1. This will only be possible as soon as eARC and HDMI 2.1 are released

No. THX

Realy ,,why diddent you say that you have Xbox one... this vid is only for Xbox one users...!!!!!!!!!!!!!! big thumbs DOWN..
