Need some suggestion on power amplifiers

[Roy1976]

Thank you guys. I am going to check my Blu-ray player today. It is a Sony 4K UHD bluray player

That's referring to the Sony avr. You need to check the player.

I thought this is for ubp x800 which is my blu ray player

HD is right , your link refers to an avr not the ubp800.

Sorry I post a wrong link. See the 4th post from top

Hi priitv8. Thanks for you rkind and fast reply.
Finally I've found what's teh problem and my AVR is showing ATMOS now.
It was difficult, and I've had to try different combinations, but finally, you have to play with:
Audio settings--->Audio DRC
Turned off (I think it was off, try different combinations), and the ATMOS is working

 

[lovinthehd]

Audio DRC would refer to dynamic range compression. I don't think the guys in that thread have a handle on much of anything....

Please see the attached screenshot of the manual of ubpx800. Look at the second column. It has a bulb sign, that reads:to enjoy bitstream signal set audio mix setting off and digital audio output to on. Will this help?

Yep follow those directions, altho it says set digital audio output to auto.

My misery is not going to end soon. I put digital output to auto and bd output audio mix to off and now I get (Dolby digital+Dolby sorround). No atmos yet.
I set up my height speakers as front and rear ceiling speaker. Do I need to do something different?

Sounds like dsu.
Did you select the “Atmos” track in the disk menu? Some disks will not default to the atmos tracks.

If you have done everything right on the Sony UBP side and selected the right track on the Blu-ray disk as William suggested, then you may want to double check your setting on the AVR side. This video may help.

Yes. Played game of thrones with audio mode selected from Blu-ray menu as Dolby Atmos

I have setup my Denon receiver in a 11.2 set up using the following speaker configuration

And suddenly everything starts working fine and I get Dolby Atmos
