HDR
HDR	Dolby Vision (profiles 4-MEL, 5, 8, 9 and 10), HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG	HDR10; Dolby Vision is not supported
Audio
Audio	Dolby Atmos, 7.1 surround and stereo; Dolby MAT transcoding; Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD (basic profile) and MPEG-H pass-through	AVForums found Dolby Digital Plus Atmos output available, but no UK streaming apps using it at the time; its Plex tests passed multichannel core Dolby Digital and DTS, not Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA. TechRadar's broad claim of no Atmos conflicts with that test, so the main Atmos field is omitted
