I recently replaced a Marantz 7012, which decoded Dolby Atmos from two source components just fine, with the Marantz 7706 Pre-Amp, which is similar to the 7015 receiver. For some reason, it only sees Dolby Atmos signals as 5.1. Dolby Atmos does not appear in the Surround Mode Menus. This is happening with both sources (a 4k BluRay player and Apple TV+ black box) and it is not a problem with how those devices are configured. The unit is sending matrixed signals to the Atmos speaker setup, so it "knows" things are set up for Atmos.
Damn. 50+ years in this hobby and I can't figure out what's causing this! Any ideas?? Do I have a bad unit?
Thanks!
