Again another good reason why I dropped out of surround sound and the latest TV technology and went back to 2.1 and stopped buying new TVs - the constant upgrade path and obsolescence of kit I had only just bought.
I know Sony are planning on upgrading some of the AVRs but I don't know which ones. In addition, Sony only appears to be upgrading equipment sold in the US.Thanks for this article, Steve. This is interesting, but it looks like i'd have to change my present Sony TV, which i'd been thinking of.
What about Sony AVR's ?? I have the DN1080, which i hope would be compatable, or that Sony would make it so ?
That's correct.Am I right in thinking Sony are only updating their US TVs to take this? No european update?
Actually I've just reviewed the Denon X6500 and it does have a peel-off IMAX Enhanced badge stuck on the front.Will the AV receivers implementing this as an update get a badge to stick on their front fascia? If not then I'm not interested.

This will be before later made versions will have it laser etched on the chassis as with all the other logos. Coo that means an extra sticker then.
Dolby Vision (for streaming and somewhat) for 4k Discs is beginning to garner consumer mind share. Dolby Atmos already has it.
As Steve said this is about trying to break the Dolby duopoly.
It's an interesting idea and if I didn't just spend stupid money on Atmos I might have even entertained the notion of IMAX certification, however briefly.Agree here, it's part of a larger strategy, with Dolby Vision rolling out cinemas, I think I read recently IMAX doing the same, even in the UK. It's so the IMAX brand can be seen to trickle down to the home as a seal of 'getting the cinema experience at home'.
What about a new version of Nicam Stereo?
