Ceiling Height for the Optimal Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X™ Experience It's important to know that the A90 elevation module is a height speaker that bounces sound off a ceiling and back toward your viewing area. With that in mind, your ceiling plays an important role in the experience. To achieve the best Dolby Atmos or DTS:X experience possible: • Your ceiling should be flat • Your ceiling material should be acoustically reflective (examples include drywall, plaster, hardwood or other rigid, non-sound absorbing material) • Ideal ceiling height is between 7.5 and 12 feet • Maximum recommended height is 14 feet Receiver Setup Recommendations To experience either revolutionary sound technology, you must have a way to play or stream Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content. Note: please reference your receiver/processor owner's manual for complete directions, or give us a call. Options to Play or Stream Content 1. You can play Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content from a Blu-ray Disc through an existing Blu-ray Disc player. Be sure you have a player that's fully compliant with Blu-ray specifications. Or 2. You can stream content from a compatible game console, Blu-ray, or streaming media player. In both cases, be sure to set your player to bitstream output.
