Hello! I just joined the forum and am extremely happy to be here.
I currently have a surround sound configuration consisting L, C, R, L&R Surround and Rear L&R Surround speakers.
I would like to migrate to a system that supports Atmos. My current AVR does not support Atmos so I know I would need to replace the receiver.
My question and source of confusion involves the way AVR manufacturers label their speaker channels (I included an example in the attached file). This is form an AVR that supports Atmos.

I understand that Atmos requires at least 2 up-firing speakers. But which of these channels would the up-firing speakers be connected to? I always thought channels have a dedicated function…is that not the case for Atmos?
I am confused. Hope you can get me on the right track.
Sincerely
