    Another one coming to party late. Own a Onk NR575 which has options for the 5.1.2 set up Currently in a 5.1 set up with the surrounds in ceiling. I'd like the atmos set up to add 2 more ceilings.... This video is the first to easy explain the "top front" , "top middle" to me. I'm in a situation, which I've seen others as well, to decide on which one to choose from. I'm having installation this weekend, so decision time. Thanks for vid though, it was very helpful!

    Great video.. I’m in the process of putting together my first dedicated home theater room with a Onkyo NR 686; I only have it in 5.1 right now , but when I get my new 4K TV I want to try atmos. I have a Onkyo 608 .& 304 and 803 with a Outlaw 5000 X in the living room. Maybe it’s the room size or speakers but the 686 sounds the best ..Question is ; if I add more speakers to the NR 686 go from 5.1 to 7.2 or 5.2.2 will it output less ? I realize this is pretty much a entry level ( no preouts) but it has WIFi & Bluetooth & I got it at a great price..

    I also have this model. Installed 5.1.2 speakers. Why don't the two speakers on the roof sound? Do they only sound when watching movies? They don't sound when listening to music. Thank you

    All 9 channels can be powered at the same time..... sorry to contradict you there, but I have this set up with all 9 shakers being powered as well as 3 subs running... front left, front right, center, two height ceiling mounted speakers, two side surround speakers and two rear surround speakers. Using two preamps for the subs, and piggy backing off one sub with a Y to the front sub.

    I just picked one of these up, but I'm trying to decide if I should build a 7.1 setup or 5.1.2 Atmos setup. I have the ability to do in-ceiling mounted speakers, but I'm wondering about practicality and usage... Will the Atmos speakers only play content on Atmos enabled media, or is the receiver capable of taking Dolby Digital Plus on non-Atmos media and still play 3D content out of those height speakers? Basically, if I do not watch Atmos movies that often, is 7.1 a better route? Or will 5.1.2 still give same audio output as 7.1 on non-Atmos content? Thank you for your help!

    • @cup_and_cone

      @@richardmyers7181 - My question was for basic two channel stereo and 5.1 input signals being able to expand playback on every epeaker in 5.1.2 or 7.1 setups. Since I am now several months into it, I'll answer for those with similar questions. The short answer is yes, DTS:NeuralX and Dolby Surround are the two listening formats you can manually choose that will decode and upscale stereo or 5.1 signal inputs to playback on your full system, regardless of your speaker layout/setup. As for 5.1.2 vs 7.1, I went with 5.1.2 because it seems like Atmos keeps getting stronger in the future of DD+ (especially for digital streaming), with more support than ever coming out every few months. On the other hand, "true" 7.1 seems to be very hard to come by these days.

    • @cup_and_cone
      @cup_and_cone 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@epepmeneses6976 Incorrect. The centers on 7.1 are head height, therefore you cannot have full 360 "bubble" object based mixing that Atmos/DTS:X offers. When you upmix DTS:X in a 7.1 or 5.1 system, it is still processed as 2D based soundstage because everything is on the same plane. There is no height element or 3D soundstage that Atmos provides.

      Hi Timothy!! Yes, Atmos is very effective with just two height channels!! I've been rockin' 5.1.2 for over a year now and it's awesome! Since I have the Klipsch RP-140SAs mounted up at the ceiling, I don't need to rely on gimmicky ceiling bounce.

    I've had the NR656 for a while, but just installed ceiling speakers and set it up in a 5.1.2 configuration yesterday. I actually let Audessy handle the configuration. My dumb question is, when watching a movie, do I need to manually set the AVR in Atmos movie mode, or should it be getting that information from the player/disc and set the movie mode automatically? Thanks in advance for all the good information!

I have them set to front height but I heard you say you have yours set to "Top middle". Would you say I should change mine to this setting also?

      Hi Cloudz! You can try it out and see what happens. I can't really tell if it would be better as I am not at your home. So watch your favorite Atmos scene and then switch it, and then watch the scene again. See if you notice a difference.

    If we can't afford very much and don't have a super great "home theater" space. Would you recommend an Atmos Home theatre in a box like:Onkyo HT-S7700 5.1.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver/Speaker Package - available on amazon for about$ 900 )
    or would you recommend a soundbar like the SJ9?

    • @TechnoDad
      @TechnoDad  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi! I would still go with a proper setup. Focal Sib 5.1 on sale for $399 (go.magik.ly/ml/ap70/) and Onkyo TX-NR676 on sale for $339 (amzn.to/2JmbeuG). I think that would be better than a soundbar or that HTIB. You'll have to add some atmos modules, which would put you around the $900 price range. OR, you could use that extra money on speaker cables/stands and get the Atmos modules later. Focal makes some proper speakers and that 5.1 set is normally $800. Pretty good deal if you ask me!

    If i connect my TV to the Receiver using HDMI ARC (tv supports it to)
    If i then connect my PC, Playstion and Xbox ONLY to my TV using HDMI, will i then still get the sound via the Reciever??

    Or what’s the suggestion on having these two Ave receivers and putting both to work cuz I won’t get rid of that 4310 , I still love it after nearly a decade

    I’ve got an urgent question. I bought the TX-NR686 a few weeks ago. Setup a 5.1 channel setup with Klipsch Reference Theater Pack. Each speaker is 50 watts and center channel is 75 watts. I’ve used it a few times since buying it and they’ve worked fine but today I powered it on and the front left speaker wasn’t identified. Ran the calibration and it didn’t identify it at all. Switched the speaker out of that channel in the back with the front right speaker and that wasn’t identified either when plugged in to the front left speaker channel input. That channel seems to have blown. I’ve had it 2 weeks and rarely used it. I’m just going to end up returning it tomorrow unless there’s another way to fix it? Please help!

    I am getting Pioneer Elite atmos speakers front mains have 2 terminal connections one for height and one for the front firing speakers, how do I connect these, the L/R don't show "height" on the back of receiver and I also have the Pioneer Elite matching surrounds with 2 sets of terminals one for height then L/R front firing. So basically what I'm asking is there a way to connect all 4 "height" speakers? Will this receiver work or do I need to return it and get a different one?
