This video series covers upgrading a 2012 era Home Theater system to the latest 4k OLED TV and Dolby Atmos Surround Sound.

Part 10b covers setting up the new Xbox Series X game console to be able to play a 4k UHD movie with Dolby Atmos TrueHD sound.

Dolby True-HD sound is the lossless sound format that so far is only available on 4k Blu-ray discs. Streaming services only provide Dolby Digital Plus which is compressed.

Getting Dolby Atmos True-HD sound from my 4k Blu-ray discs was an integral part of the design for my upgraded Home Theater system.

The Xbox Series X includes a 4k UHD Blu-ray player and it's replacing my Samsung BD-F5900 3D Wi-Fi Blu-ray Disc Player

I play most of my games on my PC, but there are some that I'm planning on playing on the Xbox, so that's a bonus from selecting that as a 4k UHD Blu-ray player. The Sony PlayStation V doesn't support DolbyVision or Dolby Atmos, so that was a non-starter for me.

My 2012 home theater had a Sony 34" KD-34XBR970 high-definition TV, a Denon AVR-2807 7.1 receiver, and Onyko SKS-HT540 7.1 speakers.

The upgraded system consists of:
LG C9 4k OLED with four HDMI 2.1 ports
