Sony UBP-X800M2 - Dolby Atmos via USB HDD?

Hi guys,

Today I bought the above Sony blu-ray player and I'm very happy with it!But, is it a restriction that this device cannot play Dolby Atmos via USB HDD?

TV: SONY XR-65X95J

Receiver: Yamaha RX-V585

HDMI Cable - Ugreen 2.1 HDMI up to 8K.
BD Player: Sony UBP-X800M2 with software: M45.R.0058

I had no problems with my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019.

On Blu-ray disks, it plays Atmos with no issues.

Also, it plays DTS: X perfectly via USB!

HEy Snuupy23, the player only supports DTS on certain inputs, it doesn't support it or Dolby Atmos from HDD USB. Check pages 35 & 36 below:

Thank you!

Also it did not say that plays DTS:X for MKV files, but it does.
Howevery I bought my 4K disk and it plays Atmos just fine.
