STR-DN1080 *Amplify HDMI-signal? *Atmos? *Best settings?

[pedrovon]

Hi!

I have home cinema with 1080p projector, this Sony receiver and Pro Audio home cinema room 5.1.-speakers. From receiver there goes about 7-10m long HDMI to projector. Now I'm thinking to connect my computer to receiver with 10 m long HDMI, because this "Chromecast-built in" was letdown (no for video!!?).

1.  Will this receiver amplify HDMI-signal too? So will I need active or passive HDMI-cable?
2. There is Dolby Atmos, but how I can test it? I have one blurayfilm with Atmos, but receiver only says "Dolby", when playing it. I tried to test with demos from pc (HDMI), but DN1080 recognizes it only 2 channel PCM. Played with newest version of MPC-HC.
3. I think to buy two more satellite speakers (C1 or C2, i think it is the same) Can everybody say, which is better for Atmos: to get two speakers rear or front upper ceiling? Room size is about 5.8m x 3.9m and viewing distance is about 3 meter from 120" screen.
4. What are the best settings for sound, that I would be sure that sound is like in bluray or broadcast?
