- Does it support Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X on up to 7.2 channels, so you can run height or overhead speakers.
- How many HDMI 2.1 inputs does it have?
- One. That port handles 8K and 4K/120Hz, but at 24Gbps, so some high-frame-rate sources may need a workaround.
- Can I use it for multiroom audio?
- Yes. MusicCast lets you send audio to other MusicCast speakers and stream from AirPlay 2, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
- Does it have a phono input for a turntable?
- Yes. There is a dedicated phono input, so a moving-magnet turntable connects without a separate preamp.
- Is it good for a first home theater?
- Yes. It covers Atmos, streaming and gaming inputs in one box, and setup is straightforward for beginners.
- Can it power two zones?
- Yes. It supports a second zone, so you can run stereo speakers in another room alongside the main theater.
