playback is physically prevented.

Dolby Atmos
Introduced first in the cinema, Dolby Atmos brings a
revolutionary sense of dimension and immersion to the
Home Theater experience. Dolby Atmos is an adaptable
and scalable object based format that reproduces
audio as independent sounds (or objects) that can be
accurately positioned and move dynamically throughout
the 3 dimensional listening space during playback. A key
ingredient of Dolby Atmos is the introduction of a height
plane of sound above the listener.
