I'm pretty sure if it's HDMI 2.0 or 2.0a, it'll definitely pass through Dolby Vision metadata.
I always liked the look of HK receivers....they have a different look from all the others....I am amazed that in this day and age, HK still doesn't have a receiver that passes a 4K signal......I just checked their website....such a shame as I too am looking for a new receiver.
similarly, I am looking to upgrade my 5.1.2 to 5.1.4. There is a pretty significant price jump going to an AVR that can support that set up.
You'll be waiting until 2018 ... and then in 2020 .. the standard will again change to HDMI 3.0.
Although it cannot do actual "physical" 7.2.2, as noted in the release, it can do "phantom" rear surrounds for simulated 7.2.2.
That article says 2018. You will be waiting forever if you are wiling to wait a year b.c something new will come in 2019, 2020, etc.
That is the most interesting thing about the AVR to me, and could make an upgrade worth it. I guess I will need to hear how it performs.Although it cannot do actual "physical" 7.2.2, as noted in the release, it can do "phantom" rear surrounds for simulated 7.2.2.
Not likely as only HDR is referenced which does not imply Dolby Vision. Release for the new Sony 4k BDP indicates it currently cannot pass Dolby Vision and that Sony is waiting to see which way the market goes as to whether it will release a firmware update. The same is likely true for the new DN1080 AVR.
This is from the article you linked. I guess you didn't read it.
Same situation here, I'm eyeing a Marantz, I think we need to splash more cash...
If you have a 7.2 (7 channel) and want to expand it to 7.2.2 That would be a 9 channel AVR, closer to $1300+ for entry level. If you want 7.2.4 that would be 11 channel and over $2000+ for entry level.
