| Swapping Receivers due to 4K HDR passthrough - thoughts on Yamaha? Yep, everything is perfectly connected - people on AVS forum have tried to come up w/ solutions but no avail. I can now get picture on xbox but only if i disable HDR in the xbox menu...which kind of defeats the purpose of these tvs/systems LOL | |
| Swapping Receivers due to 4K HDR passthrough - thoughts on Yamaha? He has the older version, but I spoke w/ somebody on AVS and he said his 3070 works flawlessly....though he has a different tv. Somebody on the Marantz thread has the 6012 (one below mine) with the model of Sony, just a year newer..he has no issue... | |
| Swapping Receivers due to 4K HDR passthrough - thoughts on Yamaha? Unfortunately, I can only get something that Magnolia here carries, as they let me swap a year old unit LOL. I guess im trying to determine the sound differences between Yammy and Marantz - bright vs. warm, etc.They don't have the 3070 on display ... | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates @bob_reynolds i don't think its a cable issue - M & D said that it's possibly an update/patch they need to release. This has been going on for months though, so I'm shocked they haven't fixed it. Very very strange that 3 different receivers ha... | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates *upgraded to 7011 and have the issue* | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates Sorry for any confusion. I'm using a Sony 930d. When connected directly to Tv, PS4 pro works on all 4K modes, as does the oppo. Connecting to rear of marantz loses video, only receive audio. But connecting to front port works across the board. Hav... | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates Doubtful - I swapped from a 7011 to the flagship Denon...same issue (same parent company). Then went back to the 7011 because I liked Marantz sound - same problem. Totally different (and new) unit. Strange | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates Directly connected to Sony works...its quite odd. Thats why Marantz or Sony can't figure out the solution - if the front port works, they ALL should. Part of the reason I'm considering a switch to a dedicated pre/pro...I'm going to try and demo on... | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates @bob_reynolds yeah i can't figure it out - we have done all factory resets and everything....nothing will work in 4K through rear ports - well, the PS4 has two 4K settings - one will work, the other will not. but connecting to front, it all works.... | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates it won't even show the home screen of the oppo...literally just goes blank when connected to rear hdmi ports....same cable works on front ports. its quite odd | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates @bob_reynolds thanks for the input - i'm also considering the switch because of a 4k pass through issue. when connecting the oppo 203 (4k player) and newer ps4 (ps4 pro), i lose video signal when connecting to any hdmi EXCEPT the front port. maran... | |
| What ever happened to Krell ? I actually bought a Chorus 5200 a month or so ago and I am blown away. I feel like I'm hearing my ML electrostats for the first time. But I had only been using an AVR the whole time, no dedicated power amp. I did an a/b w/ Parasound at the store I... | |
| Help w/ preamp @auxinput, wow thanks for all the info! You are much more versed than I could ever pretend to be! I have axfuallt turned away from the avm60 because it doesn't have the USB or hdmi ports on front - which I actually use quite often. In my research,... | |
| Help w/ preamp @auxinput, I have also considered switching to the Anthem AVM 60. Do you have thoughts on that pre? I have seen nothing but stellar reviews, but when I demo'd their power amp, I wasn't blown away. Granted, this would not be doing what the amp was ... | |
| Help w/ preamp @auxinput, I've heard that too and have no problem using them. But that will come when/if I swap to a pre instead of AVR. Which is my big dilemma. Maybe a more immediate fix would be cabling and adding a rug? I'm using AQ rocket 44 cabling that I ... |
