Dolby Atmos

audio format.
The Dolby Atmos audio format has been implemented in movie theaters
equipped with the latest facilities, and enables a revolutionary sound experience
in home theaters. Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos doesn't rely on
channels, but rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have
independent motion in a three-dimensional space with even greater clarity. Dolby
Atmos is an optional audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more three-
dimensional sound eld by introducing a sound eld above the listener.

audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

playback systems for Dolby Atmos that adopt the Dolby speaker technology.
