Dolby Atmos
DOLBY ATMOS is only available in ‘HDMI IN’ and ‘HDMI OUT’ (ARC) mode. For the details of the connection, please refer to HDMI input and HDMI output.
When the Sierra receives Dolby Atmos signal the front display will scroll “Dolby Atmos/Dolby Surround”. This scrolling display is only temporary and will last for 3 seconds. This will happen at the start of the film or the studio intro.
If you never see this scrolling message you will need to follow the guidance below to achieve ‘Dolby Atmos’.
- To play Dolby Atmos on the Sierra, the compatible device playing or streaming needs to be Atmos capable.
- To use Dolby Atmos in HDMI 1 /HDMI 2 / HDMI ARC mode, your TV has to support Dolby Atmos output.
- The UHD(Ultra-High-Definition)/Blu-ray player or TV must have the Digital output settings set to Bitstream, often labelled with references to ‘Cinema surround’ or ‘Dolby’. “The UHD/Blue-Ray disc must be Dolby Atmos-enabled”.
- The TV may not be able to pass through the Atmos stream to the soundbar even though it is capable of processing Atmos itself. A workaround for this is to suggest a direct connection from the player to the soundbar. For example, if your TV or DVD player has 2 x HDMI outputs. 1 is labelled “Audio/Video”. You can connect this to the TV for the picture. The second connection is labelled “Audio only”. This can be connected directly to the Sierra. If the player output is set to bitstream then the Sierra will output Atmos and display Atmos when it first sees the stream.
