So true, although I'm not having any problems getting Atmos off of movie and music discs, just from Disney+ via the ARC connection between the Sony X900F and the Marantz SR7013.Yes, that's exactly what I was getting when I posted the problem. Your ears will not lie...the upmixed processing sounds terribly inferior if you are familiar with the proper decoding of the material.
You don’t get true dolby atmos through arc, you get lossy atmos, you need earc at both ends to get true atmosSo true, although I'm not having any problems getting Atmos off of movie and music discs, just from Disney+ via the ARC connection between the Sony X900F and the Marantz SR7013.
And because I don't know the movie Atmos soundtracks, I cannot tell what is supposed to be coming from the rear and ceiling speakers.
Yes, that I have learned. However, a few things:You don’t get true dolby atmos through arc, you get lossy atmos, you need earc at both ends to get true atmos
Some additional information to digest (or indigest. LOL) The Sony X900F has Android TV version 9 installed on it. According to info on the internet, version 9 can reproduce an ATMOS stream via DD+. This is compressed, but it is still ATMOS.
While the DD+ stream is playing, the display on the Marantz SR7013 shows this:

But the thing that confuses me, is that when I hit the green SOUND MODE button on the SR7013 AVR remote, the display shows that the codec is this:

So am I getting "ATMOS" or "DD+ plus Dolby Surround" upmixed? Doh!
Do you have a firestick or other device you can use instead?For goodness' sake! I answered my own question almost a year ago in the following thread but forgot about it. A senior moment!

Sony TV's must have Android 10 to get Atmos on Disney+. The X900F has Android 9 and it is my understanding that there will not be any further updates. Sheesh!!!
I can buy a Fire TV stick 4k for only $40 from Amazon if I choose to. But I've got so many things plugged in: TV, cable box, Oppo 205, Marantz 7013 AVR, Parasound P7 Preamp, Parasound A21 Power Amp, Parasound A52 Power Amp, Parsound Z3 Power Amp, Surround Master...I just can't deal with any more "stuff."Do you have a firestick or other device you can use instead?

Only 4 remotes i’m using 7, my better half keeps threatening to throw them in the bin when i’m not looking lolView attachment 81604
I also has to do with all the bloody remotes. I'm using 4 now, of which one I already converse with. She would be jealous of Alexa and make even more trouble for me.
I'm using a Harmony Elite, it controls all my stuff except my ATV4K, even if it can.Only 4 remotes i’m using 7, my better half keeps threatening to throw them in the bin when i’m not looking lol
I couldn’t get away with that, my better half has two remotes beside her
Two remotes is also my wife's limit. And they too must be the TV and the cable box. Like you, I separate the other three remotes. They reside on a table off to the side when not in use. Technology revolt!I couldn’t get away with that, my better half has two remotes beside her
1. Samsung 55” 4k tv
