Sony BDP-S6500 settings for Dolby Atmos

[t2rules]

Im using this BD player together with Onkyo TX-NR838 the receiver displays Dolby Atmos but no sound comes from Onkyo SKH-410 Dolby Atmos-Enabled Speaker please help

You're getting a sound from the speaker with the test-tone? If you try the pseudo-Atmos options do you hear anything? You're testing an Atmos Blu-ray?

[t2rules]

Yes i can hear sound when I test all the speakers but not when I watch a movie I tested Jupiter descending transformers and turtle ninjas even the Dolby atoms demos on vudu

[t2rules]

same thing when I hook up my ps4 receiver display atmos but no sound will come from the enabled atmos speakers

Have you checked your firmware is up-to-date on both player and receiver (I'm not sure if they can be updated?)?

The receiver displays that it's receiving an Atmos signal?

[t2rules]

Thanks for your help I disabled the rear surround speakers and now I can hear sound coming from them I'm watching Jupiter ascending and the atmos audio is excellent I could not be happier

Blu-ray players don't have Atmos settings.

Atmos is not "a signal" from the BD player.

The receiver interprets the data stream.

But does the receiver say "Dolby Atmos", like it would say "DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1" or does it say something else? I don't have any experience with it.

That depends on the AVR you buy.

The default is to play base 5.1(if we are talking a 7.1 AVR) and during cue, you select height speakers(this is in the owners manual of each AVR how to select Atmos off the base track).

The BD player, PERIOD, is set bitstream.

Which means the XBox1 can't be used for Atmos, as it can't bitstream. Or is it the PS4?

I forget...don't care. Buy a dedicated player for <$50.
