Hi Guys,
OK, I played about with the Dolby Atmos, firstly from the manual (VSX-LX302) page 10 it states:
5.1.2 Channel System-1
(Front High Speakers/Rear High Speakers)
This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front
speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a
powered subwoofer, with the addition of front height
speakers or rear high speakers, which are both types of
height speakers. By installing height speakers, you can
select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the
most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds,
when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Front high speakers
or rear high speakers should be situated at least 3´/0.9 m
higher than the front speakers. Front high speakers should
be situated directly above the front speakers and the
distance between the rear high speakers should match the
distance between the front speakers. Both should be set up
facing the listening position.
By following the underlined step I chose "Rear Surround Dolby enabled position" although they are mounted left and right on the side walls, just in front of the seated position, next I found the Dolby Atmos demonstration disc, picked out the "Helicopter Sound" and gave it a go, I could distinctly hear the helicopter sounds swopping left to right only on the Jamo speakers (Height Speakers) to make the sound even better, I upped the Jamo noise level Db to +5.5Db from +1Db.
The sound is amazing now, seriously! I went on trying all the other demos, WOW! is all I can say.
I can share the link to obtain the complete Dolby Atmos Demonstration disc it is 21G but will need permission from the Audioholics team as it is a Torrent site.
