No, it does not!

Thanks. That’s very clear!   I now know why Dolby Atmos isn’t coming up as an option on Apple TV!

Oh, then I’ll have to ask you, what you mean by that?

Many movies played through the apps on the ATV certainly have Atmos.

Atmos is an added information layer in a regular Dolby Plus stream and since your tv can not decode these informations, you can ‘only’ listen to the basic Dolby Plus track.
Being able to choose Atmos would make no difference.........the ATV and the Eclipse know what to do.

Hi

What I mean is that, according to Apple, Dolby Atmos only appears as an option in ATV settings if the TV connected to it supports it

OK - never saw that setting.

My BV does not support Atmos either, nor have I the needed speakers setup.

I was thinking about this earlier today.

Connecting this way as you have done - the LG panel can pass Atmos down through its HDMI eARC port I guess, but the Harmony isn't equipped with an Atmos surround processing engine (unless I've missed something). So with (in your case) your many (!!) speakers that you Harmony sees, it is surely still not producing an Atmos recreation?! (i.e object based audio rather than channel based)

The above is a question more than its a statement by the way!

Interesting though that you get what sounds like a better sound quality going through the panel and out the eARC (again, not doubting you!)

There is ,atleast with the harmony, a way around it you can try. Attach the hdmi of the aptv to the panel of the eclipse(so not to the soundcenter). That is what i do with my harmony and to my setup it makes a big difference.
