I have a Pioneer VSX-329 receiver.
The specs show is supports 4K signal transfer at 60fps.
"Experience real high definition with 4K ultra-high resolution video. 4K Pass Through ensures your receiver is ready for the next generation of high def video.
However it also states further into the manual - "digital transfer of uncompressed video (content protected by HDCP)) at 1080p/60. etc"
It doesn't state 4K however in that bit. I'm now totally confused. If the content is copy protected so say from Netflix via a Nvidia Shield or from a 4K blu ray player, will it not pass the signal at 4K? I'd like to upgrade my Samsung full HD TV to a 4K one but getting concerned that it might be pointless without upgrading the receiver as well.
As for HDR, I think it's only hdmi 2.0 as 2.0a isn't listed anywhere in the manual (or HDR...) so it won't do it.

- Ultra HD Pass-through (4K/60p/4:2:0/24-bit, 4K/24p/4:4:4/24-bit, 4K/24p/4:2:2/36-bit)
