How to Experience Dolby Atmos Movies | Netflix, Disney Plus, VUDU, HBO Max, AppleTV+ & more 

Great breakdown of all the streaming hardware and services for Atmos content. The 4K Amazon Firestick claims it does Atmos but you could never get it to work, so I am a assuming waiting for a software update would resolve the issue?

Very comprehensive. Not only did you cover the basics that most other reviewers stick to, you've added audio and picture quality in your review. Great job!

The various streaming devices and services have made it difficult to find Atmos content, and to be confident that it is in fact being played in Atmos. Thanks for this review which helps clear things up!

Awesome video! Thanks for breaking this down into such easy to understand terms.

WOW, are you the only one, or really a rare person who answers all the questions! And there are more than a few. I really appreciate that effort and it's really what all should do. I will be your new subscriber definitely, not only because of the good content that you have, but because of usually rare 100% professional attitude! Good luck and keep up the good work! Wish you trillions of subscribers! :) Cheers!

Extremely well done and educational video. Thank You!

This rundown of the various platforms out there was super helpful!

Great information!

Great Video, The comparisons were great!

So it's December'21 now just seeing this video and it's great source of info on Atmos! Thnx

One of the best and most informative videos I’ve ever seen on RU-vid! Ever since I purchased a 4K TV I’ve been annoyed by all of the ambiguity and confusion on finding content in Atmos! Why does the industry make it so difficult? There are so many variables. This type of information really helps the consumer. Thank you Audio Advice!

Best video I have found so far! It still doesn’t show on my Yamaha amp though. But this has helped loads! Thankyou.

Great video breakdown of what is available the confusion of VUDU/Apple TV going back and fourth is a pain great if you've got the patience should be a lot simpler.

We have several flavors of Roku on the TV's at our house, when on Amazon and looking through titles, some show the ATMOS logo's, some don't. Also, it makes a difference on the Ultra what output you select because that will make the ATMOS indicators come and go too.

Never heard of vudu before watching this. Thanks for the recommendation!

Good Video, If I have Apple Tv 4k 2021 and two HomePod just need a TV 4k? I'm looking for Vizio serie MQ6 43 inch from Costco but only say Dolby Vision.

What a great comparison. I wonder if there is a quality/bitrate difference between smart tv apps and the same App e.g. on Apple TV 4K 20222.

Previous Apple TV 4K also plays Atmos, as well as the latest version.

Thank you for the time you devote to helping us along, I’ve been enjoying your content! I’m new’ish to the more advanced side of home theater setups and in particular, to Atmos…but I’m in the process of buying new hardware and I have some questions which I hope are not too long or cumbersome! 1. 2 CHEAP (old) AVRs vs 1 EXPENSIVE ONE? For the budget-minded, rather than buying one of the newer AVRs that offer all the channel outputs needed to have tons of speakers, could someone use 2 (older and cheaper) machines to power the same number of speakers…and still get proper Atmos configurations? 2. DO OLDER AVRs HAVE PROPER ATMOS OUTPUTS? There are used Denons selling online, like the AVR-3312Ci for around $100. While on the back it has 1 set of “Height” outputs, it doesn’t say Dolby Atmos on the machine. Are all “Height” outputs on older AVRs sending data properly to overhead speakers? The AVR-3312Ci does say Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD amongst other things, but not Atmos. Does a receiver *have to be* Atmos specific in order to pass the data/sound properly to the speakers that would be setup as ceiling/upwards-facing speakers (not to mention the ground-level speakers that Atmos communicates with)? 3. 2 AVR’s? -or 1 AVR + 1 AMPLIFIER? If the answer to question 1 is that yes, (you can buy a cheaper AVR to receive all the HDMI (and other) inputs from your sources…and if said AVR doesn’t have enough channel outputs to power 5-7 ground-level speakers AND 2-6 ceiling/upwards-facing speakers) …would one be able to use the pre outs to power an additional amplifier? -or would it need to be another AVR, to get the proper Atmos configured output to the speakers? 4. REGARDING THE SPEAKERS. If I put together the right AVR system (whether a single unit, or a combination of 2 or more) to power (up to) 7 ground-level speakers, plus 1 (2, or 3) sub-woofers, plus (up to) 6 ceiling (or upward-facing) speakers, can I mismatch different speakers and brands? For instance, I recently bought a set of Klipsch Reference Theater pack (before I knew about the Reference Cinema pack). If I keep the Theater pack and buy 2 more ground-level speakers…AS WELL as some overhead speakers (whether ceiling-mounted, or other) …could I shop around to add to this array, even if I end up getting cheap ceiling speakers? The ceiling speakers (round ones that install into the ceiling) seem pricey compared to the set 5.1 set I just bought. If I shop around and buy other brand speakers (whether the round ones made specifically for ceiling use or not), would that yield workable results? 5. KLIPSCH UPWARD-FACING vs CEILING SPEAKERS. Which are better? Would the Reference Cinema pack be a better option for having Atmos “ceiling sound” rather than using the Reference Theater pack and adding cheaper ceiling speakers (mounted on the ceilings and pointing down)? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the breakdown. However nothing beats a good 4k player with the Dolby Atmos physical disc. Of course you need the sound system (receiver and speakers) to give you the full bit rate which I enjoy immensely.

Thank You for the video.. I have lot of atmos videos in my external storage, so if i buy Apple TV 4k , how I will play those contents. or i have to buy Nvdia sheild pro or Roku Ultra? I was decided to buy Apple tv earlier but later noticed that there is no USB port. Currently i am using my windows laptop (with Dolby access enabled) to play those files, and xbox one s for netflix 4k but i am looking for something which can do all the job. Please advice.

Hi there, I was wondering which version of TVOS on the latest Apple TV 4K that you are using for streaming Netflix? My Dolby Atmos label was gone after upgrade the TVOS to 14.7, no more Dolby Atmos for my stereo HomePod from Netflix!

I stream directly from my roku smart TV. When I was using my Samsung q950a soundbar you could really hear the height presence in movies when streaming from Disney plus or Netflix. I've since switched to using an onkyo rz810 in 5.1.2 move with upfiring speakers. Since going with the avr when atmos is detected the reciever say "dolby atmos" but I can't hear any height effects. I've turned the upfiring speakers up all the way with no discernable difference.

Great info, thanks for putting it all together. One question though, I recently bought a Samsung Q80A, how do I find out it these streaming services (Netflix/Disney in particular) support Dolby on the native tv apps?

Nice video. Thanks.

I have a 2017 LG 4K TV that has dolby vision and Atmos from the native apps

Great video. Does the amazon fire tv cube 2nd gen not support dolby atmos on Netflix, disney plus, and HBO max? I was a bit confused

Hi, great breakdown I wanted to ask can I get surround sound using Sony ht-s20r on Samsung uhd curved TV. Is it possible because I bought it that reason but it doesn't work.

Thank you!

Great info, now, the other part of this dilemma is Dolby Vision, there are plenty of movie titles available of such on the streaming platforms, but, are those titles or, were those same titles produced natively in Dolby Vision?

I have the dolby app and with my air pods 3 I can down load movies on it it sounds great

finally someone made a content on this. why is it so hard to include Dolby Atmos in search bar?

what is the difference between Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision? Does the Sony 83" A90J support both Dolby atmos and Dolby vision? Many thanks for your time.

Try using the Firecube 2 passed thru the HD FURY archana 18gbps ..😉

First of all, great video. But as mentioned in the video around 13:32 you talk about another video showing how to get the most out of the streaming services Atmos content and how to get the best possible experience, where can i find this video, been looking at your channel and cant seem to find it? I have a Samsung soundbar (hw950t) connected to a Philips 4k smart TV running a HDMI cable from the tv's hdmi-ARC port to the soundbar - it plays Atmos content just fine but i know its not the "correct" atmos im hearing and i want to come as close as possible to listen to the real Atmos , what can i do to make my experience better and get the most out of my soundbars Atmos system?

I have a "high end" Sony Bravia Master Series 77 inch TV with these X chips... Question is, would a Apple 4K device do a noticeable difference over just using the apps on my tv?? Thank you and great video

my soundbar is connected to my TV via hdmi 2. My soundbar supports atmos but my tv doesn't. Is there a way to utilise netflix dolby atmos content in this scenario?

If a have a 5.1.2 home theater. Can I take advantage of my home theater using Netflix or some kind of streaming? Or they are only available for 5.1 home theater?

Hello, can you explain how to listen to Apple Music with Dolby atmos and what I need ? Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷!

Say I have Avengers Endgame in my apple library from purchasing through iTunes is that still in Atmos or is it only from their Apple plus offerings?

Do you have to have the sound bar installed for the Dolby atoms logos to show on Disney +? I’m still searching for the right system to get but I thought the logos should still be shown?

so does dolby atmos do anything for a 5.1 system? fyi we have a Anthem avm70 and McIntosh amps

if i go on my iphone 13 and go to apple tv app i see for instance that “Flinch” is in dolby atmos next i connect Airpods max and i get Dolby atmos - so to me it’s much easier to get it then what he was explaining😟😟😟😟

So what is the difference between dolby digital dts and the latest dolby atmos since most of my soundbars dont have atmos Is there really a difference !!

Thanks for info just bought Nakimitchi 9.2 ...gotta be the best sound bar for $1200 you will buy. infact i bought another i was that impressed

Do you know if the new fire cube 3rd generation with Netflix is gonna come in at most

hi,just hooked up a new canton smart sounddeck 100 gen 2(dolby atmos ready)to my philips 75 inch pus7354-12 dolby atmos tv(2020) the tv notifies me when ever disney,netflix and hbo max atmos content is available but the sounddeck display stays blank or occaisionially registers "dolby surround movie". i have a sony 4k bluray hooked up to the sounddeck and this works flawlessly for atmos.all 3 devices provide atmos and all connections are hdmi arc which the cantons tech guys say is more than sufficient for atmos. this is very frustrating as i have very few 4k blurays and just forked out for all 3 streaming channels due to their decent atmos content.any input is greatly appreciated!

You say that Bluray disc offer Dolby Atmos playback so I'm wondering if that's why I see Dolby Atmos at times mentioned in certain disc when playing through my LG 5.1 Home Cinema System? Although when I asked customer services at LG they said my system isn't geared for that. Also seriously is there much difference between an ordinary 5.1 Home Cinema System like I have compared to a Dolby Atmos Home Cinema System? Because a normal 5.1 Home Cinema System is already immersive enough in it's own right. Seriously think we go overboard when it comes to Dolby Atmos. Also can you please tell if Amazon Echo Studio Speakers can play Dolby Atmos content? As Amazon claim they can and I have two of them set up to my third generation Amazon Fire Stick. And when watching Prime Video content it doesn't say Dolby Atmos it just says 4K UHD and the affects are good coming out of my two Echo Studio Speakers. Also my TV is one from more than ten years ago but like I said I have a Fire Stick Third Generation stick plugged into it. And can I only get true Dolby Atmos from my Echo Studio Speakers if they were connected to a amplifier or receiver? Amazon reckon that's not necessarily the case. And because I do use Netflix, Prime Video and Disney Plus I can only go by what comes up on the screen and so far nothing says Dolby Atmos but some programmes will say 4K UHD like the example on your video. Two Echo Studio Speakers are good for streaming but no way do they compare to my LG 5.1 Bluray Home Cinema System. Can only two Echo Studio Speakers produce Dolby Atmos without a receiver? I know I have many questions but for some people this whole Dolby Atmos thing is confusing because I thought to get true DOLBY ATMOS you at least need to have at least a 5.1 Cinema set up or more speakers. Any answers to my questions would be appreciated.

Nothing beats physical media. Streaming services compress the heck out of audio. Sure, I'll watch Stranger Things and Jack Ryan on a streaming service; but I get my MCU and DCU movies on physical discs.

My Fire TV Cube plays Dolby Atmos just fine across the board

I have series Xbox x and have bought Xbox headphones will this be good enough -ty

I have an Atmos setup( receiver and speakers) but I have a 1080 projector ...I get only atmos on Netflix using chromecast with GTV, all other platforms give me HD 5.1. Do I need a 4k screen or projector to enjoy Atmos on other platforms?

Awesome! I totally agree with your rating after pkaying with Prime, Netflix, HBOMax and Vudu. I wouldnt have put Vudu on the same boat though since I believe yoy have to buy the movies as far as I understand, right? Correct me if Im wrong. PS1: Dark Season 2 lost Atmos. What were they thinking? PS2: Prime Support Team: -How do I find Dolby Atmos content on your platform? -Wait, I will escalate your question. After 5': My supervisor informs we dont have that movie title in our catalog.

Will the xbox one x work connected to a dolby atmos capable soundbar?

ok Disney + is great but I'm curious to know what you think about their movies mix where the subwoofer practically disappears?

The only I know prime is showing films in Dolby Atmos is by checking what sound device your using my q700b shows on the lil screen on bar prime Dolby digital plus.but even tho Disney plus and netflix do display it on there title menu and also it flashes up on sound bar screen Dolby Atmos think paramount plus is also in Dolby digital plus

Netflix and my digital copies of movies on Movies Anywhere and Apple TV apps on my 2019 Samsung Q70R do Dolby Atmos with Dolby Digital +. Don’t forget Google Chromecast with TV.

Dude any reason that new Google Chomecast TV is not included ?

Are there a new entry level atmos recivers I wanted to get started but don't know where to start

What about Google play store ?

Just buy Bluray and 4k bluray. Steaming audio is decent sometimes. But it's not good enough for critical listening. Especially if you have a high end room like I do.

In the uk if you watch disney plus through the sky box you cannot achieve dolby atmos or vision, however the same account just through your tv you can 💪🏼

Hi, great content however I have to disagree with your comment and rating for Amazon Prime Video where you say there is no logo/icon or indication that content is being streamed in Dolby Atmos. If you play an `Amazon Prime’ movie and press the Firestick up button to get the X-ray and Options menu (hamburger button on the control) you can then scroll up to audio where it shows language options and current audio output. Here in audio output it will show if content is being streamed in Dolby Atmos (I checked and content including The Tomorrow War, The Expanse season 5 etc were showing Dolby Atmos audio output. I agree it would be helpful if this was shown in movie summary button can you can search for Atmos content (and in majority if cases it is correct although I had the occasional discrepancy where it was indicating digital plus rather than Atmos although here again I believe Atmos, when streamed and being compressed rather than 4k Blu-ray is actually digital plus codec so many if us a labelling issue.

This cat has been working out.

is atmos available in all languages? Because on netflix is only for original with atmos logo. How it is on Disney or Hbo?

Seriously wondering if my Third Generation Fire Stick supports Dolby Atmos because the Disney Plus Apps and Netflix apps on here shows Dolby Atmos content but on my Fire Stick doesn't also my Full HD is one from fifteen years ago. So would that also have anything to with it? Thinking of cancelling Prime Video as how do I know if I'm playing receiving content in Dolby Atmos? The only thing that shows up is other things plus 5.1

I need to have a tv with atmos? I have a atmos soundbar but not the tv.

Is there any option to download HBOMAX on Amazon fire stick in India 🇮🇳. Please do advise

So what's the difference between Kaleidescape and something like a plex media server or omv?

I get Dolby atmos from my Apple TV but my blu ray player that is supposed to support Dolby atmos comes out in truHD and that’s after I set it to Dolby atmos. What am I doing wrong?

I get atmos on Disney+ and prime video on a 4K firestick but Netflix atmos is not available on the firestick but is available on the gen2 fire cube. Apple TV+ will not play atmos on fire tv devices because will not release it to fire tv devices.

Hi have a question. My Budget is 300$ CAD, and I’m looking to buy a soundbar with Subwoofer which supports Dolby Atmos. Can you please provide me suggestions?

We have Disney+Hotstar in India and it is showing Dolby 5.1 but not atmos. Is it different or same?

Whether amazon prime video in iphone/ipad has spatial audio supported?

I played Dolby Atmos Movies on my inexpensive Hisense 4K TV which support the format, honestly, I couldn't tell the difference.

What about Netflix DVD and Blu-ray rental disc service? You can rent just about every disc that has Dolby Atmos for a reasonable price per month delivered to your door. Much cheaper than Redbox.

I have a m1 iPad Pro and I don’t see a option for 4k there’s hd and hd vision on Netflix

Dismal-has had the most consistent Atmos content for me. I don't have apple or Roku, so my 4k firestick and Samsung Atmos ready TV are what I use. Netflix has Atmos, but my subscription only puts out 5.1, need premium. You tube has it but I'm not sure if the same applies as Netflix regarding subscription. I usually buy 2nd hand blurays to feed my movie needs.

You mentioned Vudu as being the leader in atmos content for a purchase/rental platform. You also talked about apple+ streaming service. But forgot a couple important things, 100% of the original content on apple+ has both dolby vision and dolby atmos. Also Itunes exceeds Vudu's options as it is the ONLY one that has atmos on HD content. Vudu requires the UHD title to get the atmos soundtrack.

Will eArc support atmos? Using Disney+ app on LG OLED tv.

Not surprised that Amazon is being difficult with Atmos. If they can't buy it or own it then they ain't interested and will work on their own alternative 3D sound.

good video

Is it OK to use Xbox series X as the bluray 4k player?

I try to buy the 4K disks because that's where you'll get the most full sound and deep bass. Streaming is just inferior compared to physical media.

Took WAY too long to get to the main point. It went on and on and on...

Any tips on where to find "There's Something About Mary" with Atmos ?

what about google chromecast with google tv?

The best platform is still the good ol' 4k Blu-ray disc. Lossless audio, the availability of 12 bit Dolby Vision, higher bitrates... you own something physical and not air and no one can take the film from you due to lapsed licensing or studio dickishness.

Good video. I was going to make one since this is not clear in my search. I have a Sonos ARC hooked directly to my 2019 Q70 Samsung TV via ARC input and a Apple TV 4K. Since the tv doesn’t have eARC you can’t get Atmos from the Apple TV since Apple opted to only support high bandwidth Atmos. The tv is capable of doing Atmos over the lower bandwidth DD+ via the stock Samsung TV apps. However the only app that supports Dolby Atmos on the Samsung tv is Prime which is frustrating when we subscribe to Disney+ and HBO Max. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a Roku Ultra I could get Dolby Atmos on all the apps Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Prime etc since Roku does do Atmos via DD+ unlike the Apple TV. Long story short - you don’t need a new tv with eARC to get Atmos, ditch the Apple TV and get a Roku and you’re set.

Nothing compares to Blue Ray Disc for sound and video quality. 10-20mbps vs 50-100mbps

I can't get Netflix to display Dolby atmos icons on any titles. My avr Aldo doesn't say atmos when I'm playing any titles

Firestick "Max" released Oct 6 will play Atmos fine.

Skip to 5:00…..all filler before then.

What about Films Anywhere, Chromecast w/Google TV, Google Play movies?????

Hi sir,. May I ask you about dolby atmos,. Do I need dolby atmos tv to get dolby atmos content in movie platform?

I have Disney plus but only able to see Dolby vision badge?

My fire cube works fine with Dolby Atmos

What about chromecast with google tv?

I’m not sure why you said that Amazon devices don’t play atoms, the new fire tv cube and it plays atoms perfectly fine. I have a 5.2.2 set up and I play atoms on my cube no issues. I know atoms is only available on the cube
