Strutter78 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) I want to get atmos sound from my system. My receiver (Yamaha RX V781) is Atmos capable. I would greatly appreciate advice on best way to set up 500sa. I will 1st try them as up-firing speakers set to “Atmos” position. If i am not satisfied I will hang in front a few inches below my 8’ flat ceiling. so... If i hang my 500sa atmos speakers as front height speakers as opposed to sitting them on my tower speakers... 1. Do I set to “surround” or “atmos”? 2. if i set to “surround” will i still hear Atmos effects? Thank you.

schwock5 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 for the speaker switch set it to "surround". the "atmos" setting is only if using it in up-firing mode. atmos up firing uses a specific frequency range, so this toggles for that. if mounting them up high pointing down (as i did, set it to surrounds. then from your receiver when you do calibration, set the front to heights or in-ceiling (try both and see if you like one better than the other). this is how i used mine. i'm selling 4 if you're interested in any used as i'm moving to in-ceiling speakers.
