Hey all. Just ordered a Sony A80J 77", and looking at possibly upgrading my old Yamaha RX-A820. It states it does 4K passthrough, but no dolby vision or HDR. First, is there a connection workaround short term? The 820 only has ARC. Using a PS5 for now for 4k content. Everything into TV and optical audio to AVR? Or ARC to AVR? Temp solution until I can find a replacement AVR. Currently looking at Yamaha's, but seems only when you hit the Aventage RX-A4A line do you get 2.1 HDMI with 40gbps. also looking at Denon AVR-X2700 and AVR-X3700. And Marantz SR5015. All these AVR's aren't new releases, so wondering if waiting for some new models is smarter. Im currently running a 5.1 system with my Yamaha, with B&W 683's Fronts, HTM61 Center and DS3 Rears and an old Polk PSW450 12" Sub. I have a great room with cathedral ceilings, so I really cant implement dolby atmos as much as I would like to. Probably continuing with 5.1. If there's a different AVR you recommend I would love your input. Thanks guys!
