An ATMOS Receiver has another set of speaker connections, on my Yamaha RX V681 receiver, they are labeled "Presence". I placed a set of Onkyo SKH-410's (sold at BB) on my front speakers, and the difference is very noticeable. In my case, the speakers fire up at the ceiling, but ceiling, side or side/rear configurations can also be utilized.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are working with a 7.1 Atmos ready system, then you have to hook these up to the surround left and surround right connectors and place them on top of your front left & front right speakers as a 5.1.2 set up.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, only one speaker per receiver output! The receivers with Dolby Atmos capability have additional "presence" output connections for your Dolby Atmos speakers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On most atmos-compatible receivers (Onkyo) there are connections labeled "height" where atoms speakers should be hooked up. Then be sure to calibrate the speakers to your system according to the speaker set-up command in your menu.
