Hi all, I'm watching my movies by playing 4k remux files on my windows 10 PC and using Plex. My PC is connected to my Denon AVR which is powering my 7.1 speakers. What sounds better: 1) enabling the passthrough settings in Plex and letting my AVR do the decoding or 2) disabling the...

Could anyone recommend a cheap solution to enabling 4K HDR + Atmos passthrough and 4K HDR + Atmos playback from an external hard disk drive on my setup (see below)? I've read that the most straightforward option would be an nVidia shield, however it's hard to get in the country I'm from (plus I...

I have just bought a new LG SK10Y soundbar to complement my LG B7 OLED display and my PS4 Pro. I'm following the instructions on the manual, so my setup is PS4 -> HDMI -> TV -> HDMI ARC -> SK10Y. Dolby Atmos works fine via the TV's Netflix app, but I have concerns about which audio settings to...

I have a VIZIO SB36512-F9, Apple TV 4K, and an EIKI W4600. I am trying to connect my Apple TV 4K to the VIZIO soundbar (HDMI In on the Soundbar) and then the soundbar to the EIKI projector (HDMI Out on the Soundbar) so that I can get Dolby Atmos on the soundbar and pass the video through to my...

Issues With HDMI Passthrough From HTPC On Receiver I just got a Denon AVR-X3300W receiver, primarily to use with my home theatre and video editing PC, and secondarily to work with an Apple TV. But this one technical issue in particular is driving me crazy because there's no rhyme or reason to...

Considering moving my receiver away from the TV and connecting the game consoles++ directly into the TV instead, but I'm trying to figure out if by doing this the TV will alter the audio signal in any way, or if it will just do a direct audio passthrough to my receiver through the HDMI port it's...

Good evening, everyone! I have just joined the community, but I've got a problem with my Denon AVR-X3200W. I have connected all the devices I wanted to use through the receiver and they all function perfectly! That is... except for the standby passthrough function with my set-top box. I've...

I'm investigating replacements for my Onkyo SR-TX515. I need HMDI video output to two rooms. A Marantz SR6008 might satisfy my needs, but I have a question about a statement in the manual (link here) from page 156 on HDMI Pass Through: My question is about the use of "HDMI output" in the...

I apologize in advance if this question is posted within the wrong forum topic. I currently have the following devices. I would like to know what the preferred way to plug them into each other would be. Samsung 4K SUHD JS8500 Series Smart TV Sony HTC-CT150 3D Sound Bar System (includes a...

I know DTS Neo takes a 2 channel signal and will matrix out a DTS 5.1 signal.... but out of curiosity, does anyone know how it handles or if it directly passes through signals that are already surround (like DTS 5.1 or Dolby Digital)? Personally I like the idea of passing through original...

I'm trying to use my gaming headset to simultaneously pass data to my xbox and my pc for live streaming. I figure something like the cable I pic I've attached would work. Maybe a "Y" cable with some adapters but I wanted to ask people that at least have half a clue before I go drop money on the...

I currently have multiple inputs (PS3, Samsung Upscaling DVD player, WD TV Media Player) connected to my Pioneer VSX-1021 receiver. I want to send video and audio out to my Sharp LC-60E78UN. Is there any way to do this? Will a sound bar with HDMI pass-through assist with this? My living room...

Hi folks, this is my first post and I'm totally new to home theatre/AV stuff, so please bear with me. I've searched this and other forums for an answer to my problem, but the only thread that came up anywhere that dealt specifically with my problem was from 2007 and went unanswered (a bad...
