The promotional material about Atmos is such gobbledygook, I thought you guys could clear things up way faster for me. These questions concern Dolby Atmos surround music offerings (for now):
1. Suppose you have an Atmos ready AVR (in my case, a Denon X3300W) , and a 5.x system (where x is subwoofers, not more loudspeakers) . If you play Atmos surround content, what happens? Does an Atmos-ready AVR downmix Atmos content to 5.x?
2. What is the connection chain for a music-centered Atmos setup? Atmos source/app --> Atmos-ready AVR --> TV + speakers? Atmos source/app-->Tv-->AVR--> Speakers?
3. Is there any way to tell, e.g. from metadata, that an 'Atmos' music selection was actually remixed, versus upmixed?
