Hello everyone - I just recently signed up for Apple Music and was thinking of purchasing an Apple TV 4k off the apple refurb site. I plan to plug it into my Yamaha RXV 485 via HDMI. The Yamaha does not support Atmos but I have it connected to 5.1 surround speakers. Does anyone know what format gets sent to my receiver?
I think the Apple TV will send the full Atmos coded signal to my Yamaha, and the receiver will read it as 5.1 track in dolby lossless surround. This would be good and what I am looking for. Alternatively, it is possible that the Apple TV just reverts to stereo output as it detects the receiver cannot decode true atoms. This not what I want.
