Not all TVs can pass through Dolby Atmos. To get Dolby Atmos sound, your TV needs to support Dolby Atmos pass-through via HDMI ARC or eARC. Without this, TVs will not be able to send the Dolby Atmos signal to your sound system. If your current TV doesn't support it, consider using an external streaming device supporting Dolby Atmos or connecting using an AV receiver. Also, check your sound system’s compatibility for an immersive audio experience.
