The firmware update is available to download now and means that Pioneer is now the latest manufacturer to equip its flagship AV receivers with the ability to offer Dolby Atmos cinema-quality sound in the comfort of your own home.
It was only just this week that fellow audio manufacturer Onkyo announced that a firmware update for its own AV receivers had been released with the promise of support for Dolby Atmos surround sound technology.
