Will I be able to experience the full Dolby Atmos sound with my 65” LG SK8000 PUA TV with the Arc soundbar?

Have you checked the TV’s manual, to see if it passes either Dolby Digital Plus or TrueHD via ARC or eARC?

Not really I just know that it’s Dolby Atmos compatible. I currently have the Sony HT-8500 soundbar and I’m able to get Dolby Atmos with it when I stream Netflix, Apple TV + and Disney plus with it. I recently pre ordered the Arc and I just want to make sure that I will be able to get the full Atmos surround sound.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you provide a link to the manual, please? Your term “full Atmos” is unclear, do you mean HDMI ARC Atmos, or TrueHD Atmos? The manual link would provide that information.

I don’t really know too much about these setups which is why I’m reaching out to this forum hoping to get some help from the enthusiasts on here. Your help will be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Right. I’d be happy to help you in reading the manual, if you can post a link to it.

Based on what I see, and this manual is incredibly unclear, the connection is only HDMI-ARC, not eARC. But it seems to not claim to pass Dolby Digital Plus, just Dolby Digital and DTS, which means no passing of Atmos content to a Sonos device.

Your best bet would be to contact LG and ask them if it will pass a Dolby Digital Plus signal through HDMI ARC.

By full Atmos I mean a true Atmos experience.

I also have a Apple TV 4K. Would that help solve the issue and if so how?
