Hi Guys, complete newbie here hoping to get some help and advice.
I currently have a Yamaha RX-V379 receiver and a 5.1 setup (Cambridge Audio Min12 (X5) and X201) along with Sky Q UHD. I did previously have my PS4 connected via the optical but when Sky installed they said my Receiver wouldn't support UHD so they switched the Sky Q to Optical and my PS4 was just disconnected (my Yamaha is HDCP2.2 so still a bit confused on that). So currently HDMI1 port is Samsung TV and Sky Q is the Optical.
My new Samsung Q800T has just packed in after 10 months so I'm been offered a full refund so am replacing it with the LG CX. (I've therefore got a decent budget for a PS5 and possible new receiver).
I've ordered the Denon AVR-X2700H but am debating whether it's even needed. I will be keeping my 5.1 speaker setup rather than upgrading to Dolby or 7.1.
I guess what I'm asking is:
1) With my current Yamaha receiver, could I in fact use my PS4 (soon to be PS5) along with Sky UHD fine (and it is Sky that have made a mistake)?
2) Would there be any benefit of upgrading to Denon AVR-X2700H based on my setup explained above? And would I be able to connect a 5.1 setup when this receiver is actually 7.2?
The new receiver is £600 so not cheap but like I say, I've saved a bit from my TV exchange so got an OK budget, but if there will be no benefit from upgrading I'd prefer to save myself the headache.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
