Your TV does not need to support Dolby Atmos if your soundbar does. Connect the soundbar to the TV using an HDMI ARC or eARC port, which allows the soundbar to handle the Dolby Atmos processing independently. Ensure your media source (e.g., streaming device, Blu-ray player) is also Atmos-compatible to enable immersive sound experiences.
