Its got to be worth waiting for variable sync/free sync support? it'l be the big thing in 2018 I reckon
So here are the questions:
1.Is there any way to just have this thing send out the native audio so that my receiver is doing the work instead of the PS4 decoding/recoding everything?
What brand should I be looking for if I want a receiver which supports 4K? I had a Onkyo receiver until about 3 years ago when it broke down, and I haven't gotten on ever since, and I think it's time to get one again.
Setting the PS4 to bitstream Dolby/DTS forces those streaming apps and games to output in lossy Dolby Digital/DTS.
Leave it on LPCM if you want lossless.
Thinking about grabbing a new AV receiver to pair with the TCL 55P605.
Is Yamaha RX-V581 for 330.00 a good price at this point or can I do better for the same price? Or if you know of a better receiver that cheaper I'm up for suggestions! Don't really want to push more than this price though at this time.
Thinking about getting the Denon AV receiver mentioned here (and on wirecutter), but curious about how much latency would be introduced if I plug all my consoles into it, then feed the hdmi out into my tv. Thoughts?
You should be able to do that.Is there a receiver where I can use the second HDMI out to go to HDMI 2 for games while HDMI out one is for my TV? Basically want my TV on HDMI 1 and all of my gaming consoles on another HDMI so you can keep game mode on that HDMI 2.
I have the Denon X2300 and do exactly what you're askingIs there a receiver where I can use the second HDMI out to go to HDMI 2 for games while HDMI out one is for my TV? Basically want my TV on HDMI 1 and all of my gaming consoles on another HDMI so you can keep game mode on that HDMI 2.
Does going through an AV receiver add any noticeable input lag?
I mean like this:
[Game Console] ------HDMI------> [AV Receiver] ------HDMI------>[4K TV]
Am I better off going direct to the TV and then using some other way to get the audio?
Silly question - do Denon receivers to 5.1 to 7.1 conversion? All I see are references to Dolby Surround not Pro Logic Xii.
Thank you for the input, I'm real nervous about it, my last two receivers have been THX Certified and got so used to THX Surr EX processing of 5.1 to my 7.1, it was great.That receiver is a nice one. You want Dolby Surround. It will upmix if needed with new algorithms..
EDIT: I also like DTS Nueral:X - one of the best IMO. Can upmix any content IIRC.
DOUBLE EDIT: Don't forget to do your Audessy calibration. Follow the steps (does require some work) and it is gold.
Anybody have a Onkyo NR-646 (or later, maybe?) and are using the HDMI sub out?
I'd start from the beginning and check all of your speaker settings. You probably have it set to 2.1 or something like that. I haven't experienced this and it is probably just a setting.I have a Sony 1070 4K HDR amp and my ps4pro connected with HDMI. When I switch to PCM, only the two front speakers are working. My setting is on 'direct'. What should I do to get PCM to output to all speakers during games?
X4300 owner here - Is there any way to stop the "DENON logo" standby wallpaper when nothing is being fed into the AVR? I have an LG E6 OLED and when there is no signal, it used to cycle through 4K images stocked on the firmware of the TV. Now it just displays a grey Denon logo.
Now, when I have the TV and AVR on, but there is nothing else on, say the PS4, I see a Denon logo which is static on screen. I'm worried about burn in and prefer the cycling of the images from the TV, how can I get it to do that again?
I'd be surprised if it was a handshake issue. The receiver has tons of setting for which speakers to output to. I can't remember how the PS4 settings work, but I can tell you that I have 7.2 PCM working with a PS4 PRO and 1070 setup.Thanks, guys. So 'direct' should give me 7.1? Haven't really fiddled with the settings but had to put the ps4pro to output bitstream dolby digital to get all speakers to react. Are there advanced options in the ps4pro menu to get PCM to output in 7.1? I have it set to hdmi out and pcm, not much else to choose.
Not sure where I can set the receiver to output pcm to 7.1, so might need to dive into the manual when I get home. Could also be a hdmi handshake issue, right?

I have tried expanded stereo, but I guess I shouldn't use that mode. I'll have to check the manual when I get home. Couldn't figure it out yesterday.
Denon owners - is it better to have Dynamic EQ on or off?

Should never use anything like that when it artificially boost bass. Should have it off and adjust bass and treble manually
I have the X4300 and ran Audessy per III-V's post above and love it. It sounds great, I'm not turning that off.
My issue is when I have dynamic eq on, which is under the Audessy menu and have MultEQ XT32 set to L/R Bypass, my front speakers slightly pop every time I change the channel. If I turn off Dynamic EQ it stops popping. If I change MultEQ XT32 to Reference, it also stops the popping.
I can record a video detailing the pop if it would help. I have read that it is the Dolby decoder that is kicking in that causes it. Note I am using Opitcal on my TV/SAT, the box won't feed an audio signal via HDMI, which is odd, my old receiver was fine but my SAT box is 6-7 years old.

If they are all chained together with HDMI, I do not think that this will work due to HDMI handshakes: if one piece of the chain fails, then it all fails. You could try disabling HDCP 2.2, and you should still be able to game, etc. but you will loose some streaming services like Netflix.Is there a way to have my 4520 do all the audio and everything and simply use a new cheap receiver to pass everything onto my nice receiver?
I'm trying to avoid buying another flagship receiver.
I know this is a little bit of a stretch but if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
I currently have a Denon 4520 sounds is great love the receiver, problem is it's not hdcp 2.2 and HDMI 2.1 compliant.
I could go buy a cheap Denon and get both of those things but I have found the newer ones to not sound as good and a little bit tinny.

Absolutely. I have mine not set to 90 degrees either, most people won't, that is a lot of room to take and a lot of clutter. It still works great. If your receiver can measure speaker distances and what not, just run the calibration and you'll be fine.Anyone know if it is worth upgrading to 7.1 if I won't be able to place the LR surrounds at 90 degrees to the seating area? Because of my room I would have to place them slightly in front of the seating area. Just wondering if this is going to throw off the effect or if it won't make much difference.
