Hi there,
I'm currently just setting up my new Sony 49xe9005 and struggling to work out the best setup in terms of connections.
I also own a PS4 standard edition, a Virgin Tivo box and a Yamaha YSP-2500 soundbar.
Basically what I'd like is to enable HDR on my PS4 (although I'm not sure if this setting is just for games or movies and games? or even how important it is). I also would like to use my soundbar to get 5.1 dolby, master audio, etc. etc. as I did in my previous setup.
However, I can't get HDR enabled - in the PS4 settings - if I run the connection to my YSP-2500. I presume the soundbar is outdated and unable to run 4k inputs? I've also tried directly connecting the PS4 to HDMI 2 on my TV and it worked. But now I'm aware that my soundbar won't be using it's full capacity as it'll be going through ARC.
Furthermore, I now can't even seem to access my soundbar settings now that it's going through ARC and the remote for it seems useless. I didn't have this issue on my last TV.
I'd appreciate any assistance in getting the setup right. I'm aware I may not be able to get all of these asks as my technology probably doesn't allow it but if anyone could advise how I should set up it'd be really appreciated.
Best wishes
Dave
