Hi all,
I have a few questions regarding features on the newer AVR’s vs what I have now, the Denon AVR 3311.
Since moving from a 2014 Sony LCD and Blu Ray player to an LG B9 and 4K Blu Ray player in 2020, I have taken a step back on the sound side. Some apps via ARC are pro logic II or DD+ at best and 4K discs are DD+ where I used to get DD True HD and DTS MA.
I am thinking I will get a X4700H to improve the sound formats and allow everything to go via the AVR again rather than TV to the AVR as I have now. I have a few questions on the features the newer AVR’s have.
I run a 5.1 system (Q Acoustics 3010/3090 with a Velodyne CHT 10). I doubt I will ever move to full Atmos in the living room as I am going to be converting the garage to a cinema room.
I see that Pro Logic II is no longer on the newer AVR’s and they have Dolby Surround, are the rear channels stereo? I as I will be using some older games systems with stereo only output and would have liked to keep rear stereo effects for those if possible.
I get the odd drop out on some of the TV apps, mainly Netflix, sometimes Disney +. I am thinking it is either the apps (maybe someone with an LG OLED can chime in) or ARC/the older AVR causing the issue. Is eARC as problematic and can I expect the same dop outs?
Dolby Atmos height virtualization, is this only possible when the AVR is fed an Atmos track, or will it also convert other formats?
Lastly, has anyone with a Series X and the AVR I am thinking about had any issues with HDMI on the newer versions or does it handle 4k/60 and 120 with no issues?
Thanks for reading,
Dean
