I'm going to get crap for this haha

[chadnpam]

So I'm going to "try" something that may or may not work well but experiments and outside of box thinking sometimes works out. Maybe lol

I'm going to start by saying I'm aware this isn't proper, and that proof will tell whether it's dope or nope, I'm cheating a ceiling voice of god speaker application.
I have a Rotel 6 channel amp with gain dials for 3 stereo inputs first off which may help this idea work.
I'm going to split the rear heights Atmos channels and feed the splt side to my top center input so I can see how utilizing the Auro 3d VOG speaker as an additional feed for Dolby Atmos enjoyment, the center ceiling will still be capable for straight Auro if desired as I'm accounting for quick access to these splits of outputs and inouts. I assume I will attenuating the ceiling signal to be lower than the height rear gains so it's not overpowered and somewhat discreet, that's where having the individual gains on the amp will make this easier.
I'm doing this Sunday.
Flame away, I'll post impressions when complete.
Please avoid telling me it's wrong, I already know on paper it is. Have a great day! Cheers

Please post pics of the aftermath. I also enjoy seeing flames. In this case maybe from an overloaded amp?

What's the pre-pro/avr?

You post is not clear. But I have a feeling that you re planning to connect the output of two channels of your Rotel together. If that is the case it will be instant disaster. Yes a disaster in microseconds, and your Rotel will be destroyed. This is not a maybe, but a dead certiantly.

No, just no. Auro-3D 10.1(5.1.5) and Dolby Atmos 11.1(7.1.4) processing and speaker configurations are not compatible in a single speaker configuration. Though, the AV7702mkII features a compromised speaker configuration for both Auro -3D and Dolby Atmos.

Optimized for Auro-3D 10.1(5.1.5):

Optimized for Dolby Atmos 11.1(7.1.4)

Compromised configuration for Auro-3D and Dolby Atmos:

If one is interested in an optimal speaker configuration for each of the formats, it can be done if one does not mind changing speaker configuration settings when switching from Auro-3D processing to Dolby Atmos processing.

If one already has an optimal Dolby Atmos 11.1(7.1.4) speaker configuration and amplification, five more speakers and an additional five channels of amplification will be needed for optimal Auro-3D processing.

The Height 1, Height 2 and Subwoofer 1(If using two Subwoofers) Pre Outs will need Y adapters connected to them. Lets assign Dolby Atmos to the Left side of the Y adapters and Auro-3D to the Right side. The additional amplification will be used to connect to the Right side of the Height 1 and Height 2 Y adapters for the Auro-3D Front Height and Surround Height speakers.

The Subwoofer 2 Pre Out will be used for the Top Surround(Voice of God) speaker when the AV7702mkII is configured for Auro-3D 10.1(5.1.5.) This is the reason for the need of a Y adapter for the Subwoofer 1 Pre Out when using two Subwoofers. The amps powering the five overhead Auro-3D speakers must never be powered on when switching the speaker configuration settings in the AV7702mkII back to the optimal Dolby Atmos speaker configuration settings or the Top Surround(Voice of God) speaker will receive the LFE signal and be obliterated.

Of course, Dolby Atmos signals cannot be processed with anything but the Dolby Atmos decoder and Dolby Atmos will have to be turned OFF in an Apple TV 4K to use the Auro-3D up mixer when playing Dolby Atmos tracks. A blu-ray player must be set to decode signals and output them as multichannel PCM when playing Dolby Atmos tracks to use the Auro-3D up mixer as well.

It is a lot to do for experimentation of the two formats but is the only way to do it here for the optimal performance of each of them. Try not to blow it all up or the flames will be real.

I hope this bloke is listening, but I have a feeling he is trying to ace out Trump for the Moron of Year Award!
