Hello,

I have a Panasonic tv with Arc hdmi but not eARC one and I mainly use the Amazon Firestick 4k plugged into my tv to see movies. 
Is there any way to enjoy the sound quality of Dolby atmos movies with my Sonos arc ultra with this configuration ? 
 

Best,

Xavkyo

That TV does not support Atmos playback.  So you would need a new TV, or one of the extractors (Ex. HD Fury Arcana) to play Atmos content.

Thank you !

I understand that I could play Dolby Atmos compressed with my ARC connection. But I see that HDMI Arc must be 2.01 and not 2.0 to support DA.

How can I get this specification ? Nothing written in the tv’s document…

How old is your TV? It might not pass through Atmos if it was made before 2018.

Hi, 

My tv was launched in 2018… The customer service is unable to tell me what kind of HDMI ARC it is.

If you don't have the owner's manuals you should be able to search and download one, usually in the back they have a detailed spec sheet that should have the version̈ given.

Yes I downloaded it yesterday but found no specific version. It’s only written that Dolby digital Plus is supported among others. But no mention of Atmos or version 2.01 / 2.0

You need the HDMI version, not Atmos version.

HDMI Arc needs to be 2.01 and not 2.0

If you post your TV details maybe one of the folks here that does more with tv setups can find something.
