I have had for years a setup with denon avr X2600H, LG Oled B9 TV and Full HD video projector. TV is connected to denon eARC hdmi output (monitor 1) and projector to AVR output monitor 2. I play movies using nVidia Shield, so I can watch the movie either from TV or from projector, ok.
I replaced the projector to Epson 12000B and replaced the HDMI cable going to projector from "HDMI with high speed" to 18gbps HDMI 2.1 (yes, denon supports only 2.0 but its ok, 4k 60Hz is enough for me). Oddly, there is no picture either on TV or on the projector when opening the nVidia Shield, or from any other source.
What I do now is every time I want to use projector I have to select from Denon menu Video-> Output->Monitor 2 only and I can watch movies.. The same goes for TV, I have to manually select Monitor 1 if wanting to watch using nVidia Shield. So the default DUAL/both HDMI OUTPUT (monitor 1 and 2) do not work for some reason when changing the cable to 18gbps.
I also tried changing the cable from tv to denon to 18gbs and even 40gbs cable, no affect.
BUT when I switching the monitor 1 and monitor 2 devices other way around, like LG TV to Monitor 2 and projector to Monitor 1, I CAN see the picture on both TV and projector. Of course I loose the eARC/CEC so can't control amplifier volume with TV remote.
I can't understand how 1 cable change stops the HDMI output dual mode from working.
OR maybe the LG OLED B9 65inch is messing things up when connected to eARC, and Denon can't figure it out.
Anyone had similar experience?
