Sayeth wikipedia: "Because of limited bandwidth and lack of processing power, Atmos in home theaters is not rendered the same way as in cinemas. A spatially-coded substream is added to Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus."

For home theater, Atmos is a backwards compatible extension to TrueHD or DD+, says Dolby Labs. The Atmos soundtrack is the 7.1 soundtrack. So if your system can turn TrueHD into 7.1 LPCM then you're good.
