As Dolby Atmos® titles become increasingly available on Blu-Ray™ there is an inherent need to get the content out of legacy playback devices and into Dolby Atmos capable AVRs so that the object-based presentation can be properly decoded. While Dolby Atmos enabled formats are fully backwards compatible with channel-based decoders, the decoding of Dolby Atmos content on a legacy decoder results in a less-than-optimal user experience if the customer has a Dolby Atmos capable AVR downstream from the playback device.
