Transformers 4 with Dolby Atmos

Quote: Update: It looks like ATMOS is sooner rather than later. Look at the Crutchfield latest sales brochure. Atmos enabled blu ray discs will be available in the "fall".

It looks like standard blu ray players will handle it but special audio receiver will be needed to decipher the "overhead sound:. 11 speakers are recommended but less are possible. The is supposed to be a speaker that provides normal audio and also project audio to the ceiling.

The question remains "how much effort should Cyberlink put into a program to handle ATMOS which may turn out to be a "fad". I'm not sure how many people would invest in the receivers and the number of speakers including the overhead speakers using a new (?) computer program when a standard blu ray player would be perhaps the primary player?

ATMOS_User. Why would you want a computer program to do this rather than using your blu ray player (assuming that you have one) and your current audio setup ? I'm just interested in your motivation.


Hi Steve,

My motivation, I have a home theater PC I built which plays Blu-ray and it also has the Ceton 6 channel Cable TV tuner. Other than a M-Card for $2 a month to my cable provider I no longer pay the gauging $25 a month fee for the privilege of recording my shows and to use "the box". I would hope since Atmos will play on regular Blu-ray players that it will just pass through "Non-Decoded high definition Audio to external device" without issue.

I Currently have a Onkyo TX-606 in a 7.1 setup with 2x Polk TSi 500, 4x TSi 100(Book shelf),CS-10 center channel and Velodyne DLSR-4000 sub. I plan to swap the Receiver for either a Onkyo TX-NR 1030 or TX-NR 939(Yet to be announced, but projected). The house is pre-wired so I can add Polk Audio OWM3/5 ceiling/multi purpose speakers for the ceiling, ultimately a 5.1.4 setup and keep a pair of book shelf speakers as spares. I will not change a thing until I can get a 9 channel Atmos receiver for under 1k, Black Friday maybe?

The question doesn't make much sense since there's no Blu-Ray or other official format which sports Atmos yet.

It's your receiver which must handle Atmos and upgrade the 5.1 or 7.1 Blu-Ray sound to more speakers.


Agreed. Someone must just wants to talk about new technology without understanding it!

I live in Houston, one of the largest cities in the US and there is only one theater that has ATMOS audio.


In the fall, some say October Atmos will be coming to blu-ray.

Love the cynical comments guys. When in doubt try "Google". I could have answered the blu-ray question before I even posted initally.
