I just read that it only has 1 eArc connection!!

Is it possible to choose the eArc connection for the Nvidia and Hdmi A for TV?

eARC doesn't work like that. The ARC stands for Audio Return Channel and is used between TV and an AVR (Theatre in your case). And the e" stands for "Enhanced" Audio Return Channel. So eARC is only useful if you want sound to go in the opposite direction of the normal HDMI signal flow. Source (Shield) -> AVR (Theatre) -> TV So: Normal (video and audio): Source -> AVR -> TV eARC (audio only): AVR <- TV Note eARC can coexist so you can get video and audio one direction and audio the other direction. Hope it helps :)

So if I use a hdmi 2.1 cable from the Nvidia to the Theatre using Hdmi A, can I get Dolby Atmos or not?
