Bruce Morrison Power Member Member since:Feb 2007 Location:United Kingdom 4K collection:339 Blu-ray collection:2245 DVD collection:581	Can my old receiver down-convert an Atmos track to 5.1? I have 4K capability for video but I haven't invested in Dolby Atmos technology, so I just have a 5.1 speaker setup and my 6-year-old receiver doesn't support Dolby Atmos. The 4K 'Black Hawk Down' disc has a choice of two audio tracks, Dolby Atmos and DTS MA 5.1. The menu defaults to the Atmos track, so I was wondering what would happen if I accidentally allowed the disc to load with the Atmos track. Would my receiver just down-convert it to some sort of 5.1 signal, and would this sound better, worse or the same as if I'd selected the DTS MA 5.1 track? Or would my receiver simply not know what to do with it?
