Thanks to everyone for your feedback these days. This post refers to Apple TV setups only.
I'm about to return my Q950T after a couple of days of failed key tests.
SETUP: ATV4K (Atmos ON) > Q950T (FW 1017.5 / latest) > Panasonic GZ950 (no ARC).
APP: Surround Generator Apple TV + Dolby add-on enabled.
PROBLEMS:
1) PCM: No support at all. PCM 5.1 & 7.1 rear channels test dropouts in a total random fashion. Only way to fix this is switching ATV output to Dolby Digital, thus disabling the Atmos capability (!)
2) ATMOS: Rear, Top Rear and Side sources will originate from the same area. Maybe because PCM DD carrier is not being read properly?
In both cases the SUBWOOFER channel would not even be enabled (!)
JBL 9.1: I have this soundbar as well in order to decide between one of the two. The JBL correctly pass all DD 5.1, 7.1 and Atmos tests, with each discreet speaker being up when selected in the app and each source in the Atmos space well positioned and defined. Also the subwoofer played all tests correctly...
**If you can find a workaround I will be happy to test it**
