The XBox Series X is having a tremendous issue with Denon Marantz and Yamaha if you haven't heard. This is a problem for most of us as even if you aren't a gamer, as the Series X has so many great 4k functionalities including 4k streaming of Netflix etc and an excellent 4k BluRay (and a decent 4k BluRay costs about the same as the Xbox Series X so it's like getting the gaming functionality free). The XBox Series X was made to work flawlessly with Atmos and Dolby Vision and HDR 10+. The new PS5 does not.
The 2.1 HDMI input however apparently isn't working with XBox new Series X and many AV Receivers. The problem is on the AV Receivers end and not on the Xbox End.
Forbes article on the AV Receiver Bug
Have a Samsung Q70 & Jamo Atmos speakers (including the height speakers) but no receiver as nothing seems to be compatible with the new Xbox Series X without having to rewire everything through the eARC
If anyone knows which AV Receiver models do not have the faulty Panasonic 2.1 chipset (which will make your screen go black) please let me know.
So far these receivers are considered incompatible with the new XBox Series X
" Affected receivers include the Marantz SR range (SR5015, SR6015, SR7015 and SR8015), Denon X-series range (AVR-X2700H, AVC-X3700H, AVC-X4700H, AVC-X6700H) and Yamaha RX-V4A and RX-V6A. If you have one of these, you may well be in for a surprise when your Xbox arrives, so make sure to bear this news in mind. "
from Tom's guide who has the latest info as of late October.
So question again. Does anyone have a list of high quality 4k pass through 120 fps 7.2 Atmos / DTS:X AV receivers that actually do work with the new XBox Series X (under $1000)? can't seem to find that list anywhere!
