Hi    Since a firmware change afraid dolby atmos has in fact been taken off from some 2019 models even in the expert settings.  Afraid my nu8000 never had it only has option of dolby digital + which is not full atmos as already talked about on this thread.   ... View more

Can you provide picture of the sound mode showing on the expert settings of the tv and an atmos film on the tv apps. And a version of the firmware so it would help to see what the setup is. For some a work around after the update took out atmos decoding has been found but the website also says for others it doesn't work Thanks ... View more

Exactly well said Your sound bar maybe showing atmos but in reality it isn't true atmos the TV will be outputting dd+ which is not true atmos. Regarding the xbox you need to download the atmos app and run through the setup it will them easily tell you if your tv or amp cannot manage a true atmos signal. My quote came from a tech website and it also says how the latest firmware update downgraded the atmos facility. after a year of trying everything with this tv it will not out put true dolby atmos through hdmi. You have to plug xbox or 4k blu ray directly into amplifier or sound bar. Regarding prime in the UK they have reduced streaming to normal 5.1 and hd to save bandwidth while more are at home. I can only guess the sound mode selected on soundbar is set to dolby atmos but it is also true that you can listen to music tracks in atmos mode but reality is that its not the real deal it just uses all speakers to send the sound out. Trust me look at various websites such as rtings.com you will clearly see from experts samsung TVs struggle to properly decode dolby atmos ... View more

Hi you may want to look at this as should any other owners of the same tv Samsung Q80R TV firmware update no longer supports Dolby Atmos for Netflix This comes from a quick search on Google afraid Samsung have not paid for the license for all it's range of TV'S so will not happen I think this thread has pretty much run its course now. Same things being said over and over. Please do some research and post if ant future firmwares add the atmos back or indeed for the first time ... View more

Hi you are correct and well pointed out I tried to explain this a while back. I ain't intrested in using the tv speakers I have an av receiver and 7.2 speakers the 2 being 2 subs I wish if your coming into a forum so would at least do some homework. And just for the record LG 2020 nano cell and oled do try to do the simulated atmos and I believe the Phillips ambi light sets do as well. Bit that was not the problem first asked about samsung tv. I just want the tv to be able send atmos to my receiver and let that decode to the speakers job done, well not with samsung apart from the q90 and q70 I believe which again in different regions may or may not show atmos on netflix. Can we all get a cold one and chill out for the rest of the day please lol ... View more

sorry ignore this p was referring to the no dolby atmos thread at the same time. I notice this is about random reboot which has been sorted with firmware 1294. However some have already said the last update has dimmed game mode but must say I have not noticed it but then as my nu8000 is only edge lit maybe it doesn't make difference.  ... View more

Hi Think you missed a bit there. If you connect the xbox or ps4 directly to the tv it will auto detect and also allow freesync to work on xbox one. But you will not be able to select Dolby atmos. If you connect xbox ps4 directly to the soundbar or av receiver you will get dolby atmos but at the cost of losing auto detect from the tv to switch it into game mode automatically and auto low latency mode. And all the tech guys will tell you the best and perfect way to keep resolution and keep latency to a minimum is to connect directly to the tv. The sound can be adjusted if you have lip sync issues easily in menus on the tv or the aV receiver and you will also have to select game mode manually. I believe newer 2019/2020 av receivers and sound bars may now also detect the hardware and tell the tv to auto change to game mode maybe that's where e arc comes in as the data between the 2 is improved ...

Hi Exactly what I have been saying what is the point of having a tv that can auto detect hardware plugged in and then stumble when it comes to out putting the atmos sound fail miserably. Well explained. Thanks ... View more

Hi Yeah I know what your saying it has been discussed that the q90 and I believe the q70 range is able to decode Dolby atmos. As talked about on this thread. The nu8000 range that came out the same year share the same firmware and only lack the one connect box and the backlit led for better blacks. Originally the question migrated from the original question about the nu8000 series to other samsung models. Trust me the past year the tv has been reset several times it was only when I purchased atmos speakers I was annoyed the tv could not just pass it through and let my av receiver decode the sound like it does for my xbox one. Just means I constantly have to manually switch game mode on and off for game then netflix ... View more

Fantastic well done. They just dont listen or even make an official comment to say either sorry it cannot be done or we are working on a firmware fix. ... View more

Hi Could have told you resetting the tv would make no difference and saved you the time wasted. Many have posted on here the same. Well done for getting samsung to take control of the tv because that's one of the hardest and rearest things. Simple fact agreed even by all the guys in the tech review sites agree Samsung TVs 2018/2019 do not support Dolby atmos pass through to an av receiver you may get dolby digital plus as I do. My xbox one supports dolby atmos when connected to the amp directly but when connected to the tv the xbox will not allow atmos sound to be selected. So quite clear to see it ain't going to happen till a future tv or another manufacturer ... View more

Hi   Er unless I have missed something DTS is a completely different format and nothing to do with atmos as atmos is a dolby owned format  Dts is owned by a different company and yet 2 are not the same ... View more

Hi Thanks for the reply. I don't have the Dolby digital option on my expert tv sound settings so pretty much resided to the fact I will never get it. The new lg 900 nano cell TVs are looking like my next choice or maybe an oled only reason i didnt get before was the risk of screen burn. But after living with this tv for over a year and seeing that even my cheap hisense tv in the bedroom can handle Dolby vision and hdr that's the feature I will be looking for in a new tv for 2021. ... View more

Hi Exactly my thoughts how did you get atmos on that tv. Through the months of reading different articles including tv specialists websites Samsung TVs do not support dolby atmos on netflix or indeed even pass the signal through the tv to a soundbar or av amp from another source. They.do not support earc or even decode atmos they only show dd+ which is not true atmos decoding otherewise it would say dolby atmos. I did see one samsung tv on you tube the did have dolby atmos in the expert sound settings and that seemed to have gone after further models/firmware updates. My next tv will be ine that does atmos, HDR, and Dolby vision so looks like will be either lg nano screen although they still use ips panels or an lg oled and hope that the screen burn risk has been improved ...

Hi Gerry Forgot to update the original post. So had my denon avr3400h repaired under warranty the hdmi board replaced which took out the network capabilities as well. Was still getting the rebooting occasionally but since the latest denon firmware update couple of months back and the tv firmware update and turning off freesync have bot as yet had a reboot. Excellent research on your part though well done for getting some answers to the issue ... View more

Hi Sorry to say them your not going to get atmos from apps via the tv. If you have an xbox or playstation then use the apps on them into your sound bar to get atmos. But to be honest I never found soundbar to be as good as a dedicated av amp and correct speaker system ... View more

If you look on youtube there is a video about atmos on the q70r however a few years old there is a possibly a chance the firmware changed. I share your annoyance and many on this thread that it was not made clear the lack of atmos support. Like I said earlier in a couple of years when I upgrade again pretty sure will be a different tv maker ... View more

Have you looked at the expert sound settings if it does not have an option for dolby atmos your tv will not output it simple  Sorry the same questions going round and round and round. Unless suddenly samsung either allow atmos via a firmware update or at least.admit it's not coming the subject is pretty.much resolved and no need to ask the.same question anymore  ... View more

Hi   Have you checked the.sound setting on the TV you need to have netflix on and then got expert sound settings and check the dolby atmos setting is ticked. If it doesn't show up them afraid you wont get dolby atmos. My nu8000 will only show dolby digital+ and no sign that samsung intend to add this as a firmware update. Only way I get Netflix dolby atmos is actually connecting the xbox to my amp then from the amp to the tv for picture. Sorry of defeats the auto game mode setting as I have to select that manually now. When i next upgrade i must admit i am.likely to move to an LG model as they support the biggest range of sound and picture formats  ... View more

This topic is never ending lol. If you search this thread you will see many many answers all the same. Basically samsung and netflix don't talk to each other and blame each other for not supporting dolby atmos. 2and point which many get confused over you cannot get Dolby atmos though an optical lead only hdmi. The other problem is it will only work correctly with e_ar I think we just need post to confirm when and if anyone manages to get atmos working and what model and firmware you are running. Please.dont keep repeating the same stuff just read the thread first will normally answer your question and save your typing lol ... View more
