Thank you in advance.
Recently i treated myself to a new Denon AVR 2300 which is a considerable upgrade from my old Pioneer VSX 1016.
Now potentially this is overkill for my setup i suspect, but, well, i've earned it recently and it will last me years .
-
I have everything configured and running however i would like advice regarding some connectivity/config settings.
-
Devices connected are:
Currently my amp HDMI MAIN output is in HDMI 1 on the TV which allows the setup and OSD to operate.
This is where my first issue lies as i while i have assigned the "TV audio" input to use the stereo jacks on the amp. I have to manually switch to DTV on my TV itself to get a TV picture and the TV audio on the same input. I was wondering if it can be setup like my other inputs are.
PS4 brings a unique issue where, with my particular setup it is advised to use HDMI 2 set to PC mode on my TV specifically; this is the best way to minimise input lag with this combination i believe.
It's not a massive issue but ideally again, i'd like my PS4 running into my amp first and all switching done there:
While the Denon does have a "GAME" mode itself i was hoping i could perhaps do something like.
PS4 to amp, HDMI Secondary output (game mode set) to HDMI 2 on TV (with low lag settings used).
-
I am going to have a play myself, but any advice regarding best practice with this kit would be appreciated, i've never really used an A/V receiver as the "central hub" of a set-up before, as my older Pioneer amp didn't offer me as many options.

Devices connected are:
- Media PC (setup as i'd like).
- Raspberry Pi running OSMC (setup as i'd like).
- Samsung F86 (2008 TV with no ARC on the HDMI i believe).
- PS4 (which i want to setup with a less input lag as possible).
