Last year i put off purchasing a new receiver due to the 2.1 bug, however a video from Sound United on YouTube titled 'Configuring an NVIDIA RTX 30 Series Graphics Card with a Denon/Marantz Receiver for 4K@120fps Gaming demonstrating that the bug does not affect gaming on PC using a Nvidia RTX i found reassurance and made the purchase.
Yesterday i setup my Samsung Q950TS 8K LED screen, RTX 3090 and Denon AVC 4700H - all which have 2.1 capability (port 4 on one connect box). I should note that i'm using the latest Windows 10 update, firmware update for both TV and Receiver and latest graphics card drivers. My HDMI cables are 8K certified and i've tested them, both give 40Gbs.
Now if i plug the computer directly to the TV BOOM, everything works flawlessly, 8k or 4k 120hz no issues.
When i go through the receiver, it's a total different story. It was working in 8K (i had turned the 8k enhanced option on and signal plus on the TV options) but now it won't give any signal. When i start up the PC i see the BIOS screen and then the windows logo, but then, just as it goes to convert to a different resolution it shows the no signal screen.
It's really frustrating, i called Denon Technical who were extremely unhelpful and blamed my software on the PC. I explained it's not my PC as when connected directly to the TV everything works, but they weren't having it.
Do i just send the receiver back as faulty or does anyone have the same or a similar setup and has it working?
Anyone tried connecting the graphics card directly to the TV, and then hdmi from eArc on one connect box (port 3) to the eArc on the receiver? Unfortunately i can't try it myself as my TV was sent back today - it had a transparent line running right across the top.
