Equipment:
Setup:
B8 [HDMI2 (ARC)] -> N950 [HDMI Out (TV-ARC)]
Shield -> N950 [HDMI 1]
Problem:
When connected in the above configuration the N950 does not appear to be passing through Dolby Vision from the Shield to the B8. Turning DV on in the Shield settings results in a black screen, followed by the display returning 15 seconds later to tell me the display is not Dolby Vision compatible.
Directly connecting the Shield to the TV with either of the HDMI cables used in the soundbar setup results in correct Dolby Vision operation. The cables are not of notably high quality, so I'm expecting the first response to be "buy better cables", but was hoping there may be something I'm missing
I read online previously that the N950 was not initially compatible with DV, but that a subsequent firmware update fixed this. As I mentioned above: the soundbar firmware is up to date, running "HW-N950WWB-1007.5", which also appears to be the latest available version on the Samsung website.
Any bright ideas, folks?
