Apple TV LPCM / Upmix

I learned that the Apple 4K box (ATV) only sends LPCM to the receiver because of decoding happening in the Apple Box. I only get a "Multi In" or "Dolby Atmos" indicator on my Denon 1600 receiver when the receiver is set to "Auto" and the ATV is set to best quality. So the question is, when it's not Dolby Atmos content coming from the ATV and the receiver says "Multi In", am I hearing the audio format the soundtrack was made in or is it some simpler format like stereo or other? Makes me wonder if "Multi In" is in some way a downgraded audio format from the intended soundtrack.

Generally it's just the decoded soundtrack (Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital + etc) in lpcm (multi-channel pcm).
