But, can the side channels be used as the overhead Atmos channels?

NO Side Speakers in an atmos system?
Hey guys I hope you can answer this.
I am looking to build a theater and have zero place to put side speakers. I have the rears and the over heads covered plus the main front three and sub. However my question is this, does my Pre/pro (marantz 8802a) take the signals normally sent to the side channels and send them to the back speakers if there are no side speakers? I would hate to lose two important channels that seem more important than the rest.
Part two of this question depending on the answer from the first.
Should I use the rear speakers as side speakers? Meaning, that I have the rear speakers hooked up to the side speaker terminals of the pre?
Thanks for your help.

You need Atmos receiver and Atmos speakers: https://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/speaker-setup-guides/5.1.2-overhead-speaker-setup-guide.html |
Let me ask this another way. When I play a Atmos Blu Ray through my Oppo 105 outputting via the 7.1 channel RCA analog output of the Oppo into a Denon Receiver (again via the RCA inputs), the side speakers seem too be playing the extra channels that are dedicated to the Atmos track. If, that is true, then all I would need is to mount the side speakers on the ceiling. Am I missing something? ozzy |
