Dolby Atmos takes centre stage this month as we visit Dolby's UK HQ for a mind-blowing insight into the next-generation audio format. Plus, we reveal how Dolby Atmos works and the kit you'll need to make your home cinema set-up compatible.

Elsewhere we take an exclusive look at Yamaha's new flagship RX-A3040 9.2-channel AV receiver and cover both ends of the 4K/UHD TV spectrum with reviews of new screens from Sony, Samsung and Bang & Olufsen. Other kit on test includes Optoma's HD50 projector, Sony's BDP-S7200 Blu-ray player, Toshiba's 47L7453 Full HD Smart TV, Marantz's NR1605 slim-line AVR and a lighbulb that plays music via Bluetooth. Seriously.

Also in the issue: We reveal how you can access free-to-air 4K video via satellite right now; discover that Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Solider is a truly heroic Blu-ray and celebrate its release by checking out the 22 Best Movie Sequels on Blu-ray; discover the sonic secrets hidden away in a shabby chic pro install; find out what it's like working for Steven Spielberg; and meet a dog that reads HCC...
