One last question.

How do i turn off ma arc soundbar????

It doesn’t ever turn off completely. It automatically goes into an idle mode after three minutes of not detecting an audio signal. If you want to turn it off completely, you need to unplug it from power.

Ok to get to Dolbt digital plus 5.1 i have to deactivate the option hdmi eArc mode.

Is that ok?

 

Yes. You don’t need eARC activated when using the TV’s native apps. The only time you need to activate eARC is when you are gaming on the PS5 (and have the audio setting on the PS5 set to Linear PCM) or if you want to watch Blu-ray discs on the PS5.

Wich one is better between with dolby digital plus 5,1 or p m multichannel dolby 5,1?

When streaming, you want to see “Dolby Digital Plus 5.1” or “Dolby Atmos”. When gaming on the PS5, you want to see “Multichannel PCM 5.1”.

Ok.

I have netflix hd. Not the big one.

Tomorow war is in atmos but only in english. Not in any other language.

With another brand like sony would it be possible in french?

You MUST have a premium Netflix subscription to get Dolby Atmos audio. The Dolby Atmos audio track is almost always on the ORIGINAL language audio track only. TV brand will not make any difference.

In french its either pcm multichannel dolby 5.1  and if i deactivate my hdmi-eARC mode its transfering to dolby digital plus 5.1

 

Wich one is better???

Dolby Digital Plus is better.

What audio format do you get with the English language audio track? FYI… the Dolby Atmos track is always on the original language audio track only.

Im trying cod on my ps5 and i can choose transiter but getting pcm 7.1.

On amazone and netflix only can get either digital plus 5,1 or pcm multichannel dolby 5.1

 

Wich 1 is better since it wont switch to atmos?

The PS5 doesn’t support Dolby Atmos from any games or streaming apps. It’s only supported when playing a Blu-ray disc.

Test the TV’s native Netflix and Prime Video apps using the two films I mentioned above.

You can get Dolby Atmos audio but not from the Disney+ app because Samsung TVs don’t support it. Try another app. Test the film Don’t Look Up on Netflix and The Tomorrow War on Prime Video. Make sure you are playing the original language audio track for each film.
