Does the upscaling work with DVD content?Yes. On my Nvidia Shield Pro, in Plex is generating black screen in 1080p movies.

It's a mixed bag. I tested with a Samsung BD-6500 Blu-ray player and worked. Played a DVD and a Bluray Disk in 1080p. I tested with Shield and it did not work. Same 1080p content. Right now I do not know if it is player related of firmware related issue.Does the upscaling work with DVD content?
OK...thanks, good to know it appears to work fine with normal DVD content, I wonder if it just with streaming/software content it plays up?It's a mixed bag. I tested with a Samsung BD-6500 Blu-ray player and worked. Played a DVD and a Bluray Disk in 1080p. I tested with Shield and it did not work. Same 1080p content. Right now I do not know if it is player related of firmware related issue.
If you mean to set it to 4K HDR 60Hz by "set it on 4K HDR", then I run in exactly what I described in my original post: I get a black screen with "no Signal" on the TV after I do that. This however works when I connect my Apple TV 4K directly to the TV on the same HDMI input with either of the same two HDMI Ultra High Speed cables I use for my setup via RX-V6A.Go to your Apple TV Settings. Video and Audio, Format. There set it on 4K HDR.
Go to Chroma. Set it to 4:2:2.
Try now to play in Netflix app a Dolby Vision movie. It will work. But is very unstable.

Regarding new RXV4A and RXV6A receivers
Important to note that these new resolutions and the HDMI2.1 features are not active out of the box. There will be multiple Firmware updates as the actual contents become available... The reason for this is that Yamaha chooses to test and certify all features and resolutions before releasing. Also note that none of these resolution sources are currently available.
Here's the proposed Firmware update schedule:
4K120A - Firmware update April-June 2021
VRR(Variable Refresh Rate) - Firmware update March 2021
ALLM(Auto Low Latency Mode) - Firmware update April 2021
QMS(Quick Media Switching) - Firmware update April 2021
HDR10+(Dynamic HDR) - Firmware update April 2021
QFT(Quick Frame Transport) - Firmware update April 2021
8K60B & 4K120B - Firmware update September 2021
Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization – Firmware update April 2021
We've been made aware of an issue related to certain emerging video signals (4K/120Hz etc) from certain sources that can cause a loss of picture and sound when passed through the AVR. However, from the time we first announced our 2020 AVRs, we have stated that we will support such new formats via future updates. Please rest assured that we will address the reported issue as part of these future updates including permanent solution as needed.

Its good that they are working on solutions and keeping us updated, however it was originally stated that the vrr, allm, qms, qft etc features would arrive December, if I was someone who bought it on the back of only waiting a month after next gen consoles to use the features i'd be pretty peed off right now that there's another 6 month waitPatience Required

I checked on my Apple TV 4K on all settings and Dolby Vision is working! I still get a black screen or an orange one from time to time. I also get from time to time darkened picture. So the connection is not stable. I have Reos Gear Premium Certified HDMI Cables. Firmware on Apple TV is 14.2.
I tested with episode 3 from Locke and Key on Netflix app.
I also selected 4K Dolby Vision 50 and 60Hz on the Apple TV and is working now. Yesterday I could not make it work.
I do not understand what happened. Yes My Apple TV is in HDMI 6 in my Yamaha RX-V6A and linked through ARC to the LG TV.
My settings are on 50Hz because I live in Europe but I checked 60Hz too and had no issues.
Try restarting the Apple TV and check to have the latest firmware on it. Verify to have Match Frame Rate and Dynamic Range on.
Same here on Shield. I think might be Shield related with a drop of Yamaha HDMI 2.1 issue.I was testing Dolby Vision with nvidia shield and a LG c9 oled tv. If i play a netflix stream with dolby vision, i get black screen. I also tested it o HDMI 4-7, still black screens. Will Yamaha give us a firmware update for dolby vision?
If i connect the shield straight into the tv, no problem.Same here on Shield. I think might be Shield related with a drop of Yamaha 2.1 issue.
Coming back to this and not wanted to post a TV problem on a amp thread to much,I now have a big blank space on my wall as an engineer was sent round and also found the ARC not working to be a mystery ,so he has taken it away ,at least customer service between LG and Very where I bought it has been swift.2 things you need to check ....
The LG 65NANO866NA TV uses HDMI 3 for ARC/eARC. Simplink must be on. In ARC 'Additional Settings', Set the Audio output to Passthrough or Auto.
In the RX-V6A, go into Setup, HDMI, set HDMI-Control to on and ARC to on. Technically when using eARC, these can be disabled but it may help to get things going.
I have this issue that I do not know how to solve. There is a lot of imbalance between Surround and Straight. Straight sound is more lively and louder. As soon as I go to Surround the sound becomes thinner, it gets more pitch and less volume. I did not have this issue on the Sony STR 1080. Any ideas? Thank you.
Yes, Surround Decoder mode, Auto or Dolby Surround. I did not use DTS Neural X.Surround? Do you mean the Sur. Decoder mode? If so then what Surround Decoder mode are you actually engaging and to what format are you applying it to?
Also note that neither the Sur. Decoder mode nor the Straight mode effects the PEQ so it would flatten the EQ or effect it. It is only when engaging the PURE DIRECT mode that PEQ is bypassed or if you manually set PEQ to THROUGH.
interesting in that September they think they will be able to do 4k120B which is compressed which is what the xbox series X outputs that currently wont displayPatience Required
