I consider myself pretty tech savvy and generally good at connecting equipment. Your video helped me troubleshoot an issue and I am most thankful that I now get to enjoy dolby atmos as intended.
I was bummin' pretty hard about the sync delay with my Series X / LG C9 / Denon AVR / 5.1.2 set up. Followed this video (I admit I wasn't optimistic), and it worked perfectly...I had done everything, except didn't toggle eArc and pass through on the TV (I set it to use eArc as the source, but that wasn't complete enough)...that did the trick! Thanks for solving my 1%'er problems, Techno Dad!
Hi, sorry I know this is from 2 years ago but I am just about to pull the trigger on a Denon AVC-X6700H and I have same LG C9 as you. I recently saw a video on Digital Foundry where they are discussing the Atmos delay on Xbox and how it was unbearable to use so they reverted to DD. Is this the same issue you had, and did following this setup completely remove the delay issues? In the opinion of John at Digital Foundry it was a bug with the Xbox that hadn't been fixed, or do you think he's got the wrong settings applied on one or more devices? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated as I too seem to be in the same 1%er club as you, and was wondering if waiting a while for newer AVR's with updated HDMI specs might be better, rather than using eARC workaround. The DF video is on DF Clips 'playstation 5 Dolby Atmos support tested' (they mostly discuss the issues with Xbox though)
Thank you so much for this video. I spent several hours trying to get all the settings correctly set up but I was missing several on my Marantz NR1607. Now I am gaming in glorious 4k/120hz with my TCL 646 and my NR1607 connected to my Xbox Series X. Your video walked me right through all the settings easily the first time. I powered off/on to be sure and up popped all the notifications on my screen and receiver display. 4k/120hz. HDR10 and Dolby Atmos. Perfect.
Thank you! You solved my issue of not being able to run my Xbox X on UHD@120HZ. It finally came down to be my LG sound bar not being HDMI 2.1 but 2.0. Most expensive soundbar they had the SL10YG. I have it all hooked up to an LG C3 it was soo frustrating seeing my Xbox tell me my C3 didn't have all the features it was supposed to. This video solved my issue, thanks again!
With these exact settings, I get some pretty horrific audio lag when using Dolby Atmos. My setup: Xbox Series X --HDMI 2.1--> LG C1 OLED --HDMI ARC--> LG SN7R soundbar. My settings are - Xbox: Bitstream out, Dolby Atmos for home theater; TV: Sound out Auto, eARC off; soundbar: ARC.
Oh my God it's insane that one can have all the right equipment and still not get the best output due to the wrong settings. Manufacturers need to work on making this plug and play. Way too complicated for most people to get all these setting right. Thanks for the video!

Can U tell me which audio option on your xbox is with less audio delay? 5.1 uncompressed, Dolby Digital or maybe Dolby atmos? Im asking because i chose Dolby Digital and i think there is a very minimum audio delay hard to catch but maybe it is something wrong with my brain xD
@@tommek1982 5.1 uncompressed, the delay seems to be due to the receiver switching functions when switching apps - some use atmos, some not. That's likely the cause of the delays

Any chance we can get an updated version for this video? Lets say with a C1 or C2 and the newest series X with the pass through option? I’m a bit lost now (just go myself a new 65” C2) and the options aren’t the same anymore. (Both the series X and the C2 have a pass through option for sound) And I’m assuming I should let them pass everything to my Denon receiver?)
It works, except for the extreme audio lag problems sending audio over earc for xbox. It had had this problem with Xbox one, and it is not fixed. I would rather play 4k60 with no lag, by plugging Xbox into my Denon Avr.
@@TechnoDad To solve audio lag or audio sync issues set the audio output settings on series x from bitstream out to 7.1 uncompressed. Essentially what this does is it has the series x decode the audio as it's already uncompressed and sends it to the avr. This setting should send all audio formats including dolby atmos to the avr as well. In my setup I'm using an Xbox series x connected to hdmi 1 on a LG c9 TV. I then have a rocket fish ultra high speed hdmi cable which is ultra certified going from the hdmi 2 eARC port on TV to eARC port on my Denon AVR-S750H. My sound mode setting on the avr is set to auto which will show its receiving a digital pcm signal with multi channel 7.1. On the Denon avr if you have audyssey multi eq setup make sure sound mode is auto instead of pure direct to take advantage of audyssey audio enhancements. Also I have my TV sound output to Hdmi ARC with eARC enabled and digital sound out to pass-through. When messing with the different settings I noticed that if I changed it from pass-through to pcm or auto my avr would only display stereo in stead of multi channel 7.1 which has all speakers enabled in the denon app.
@@chriskorneluk2255 The denon will not show atmos on the display since its not doing the decoding. Only shows pcm digital as a result from the audio being sent uncompressed from series x. My avr is currently set up in a 7.1 configuration with rear surround speakers instead of overhead speakers for atmos. All speakers are enabled and do out output sound according to the audio mix thats being played through them.
@@candrews1987 thanks, but you are down sampling Atmos to 7.1, I tried it but the audio quality significantly drops as does object movement, atmos sounds much better despite annoying drops. It is a nice bandaid for the lag but it does not fix the xbox atmos drop issue microsoft has in their software. I hope a future firmware does it or an update to the dolby atmos app. Cheers
THANK YOU! Been searching for this for years for my (new) Xbox Series X to LG C9 to Marantz 6011. The only issue was the lag, and the LG AV sync setting does nothing to help. Had to switch Xbox audio out to uncompressed stereo, 5.1, or 7.1. Let's hope for a firmware fix from Microsoft's side...
Excuse me, do you know if the pcm audio can output 5.1 channels through earc. Or how do you get uncompressed 5.1 channels from the Xbox, I’m trying to figure out how to do the same but for a PS5. I don’t have a hdmi 2.1 receiver so I’m using earc as my tv and receiver do support both of them earc.
Hey Techno Dad, I also have a OLED E9, running Series X cable straight to the tv via hdmi 1, then cable to my denon AVRX4400. No matter what I do I can’t get rid of the audio lag whenever you select bitstream then Dolby Atmos in the xbox setting. Even the Dolby digital has a lag. The only option that does not give lag is uncompressed and DTS. None of the lip sync settings will fix the lag, I know a lot of people have this exact same issue.
Hi Diego! I don't have those issues and I'm not doing anything special. Could it be a cable issue? Maybe swap out the cable from the E9 to the Denon? I'm not really sure anything else that could help the situation.
Did anyone sort the lag issue out? I’m having the same issue with my C1. Apparently the game mode/ low latency is causing this but I don’t know how to remove the lag.
Thank you for the information. It look like we are going back to put everything to the T.V. and use the T.V. Earc to the Earc receiver. Until the receiver get more 2.1 for all your devices. I got a LG CX with Denon X4400H Dolby Atmos work only if the EArc is off on the LG CX watching Netflix, Prime Video and Disneyplus.
Wow! Thank you so much. I have a Samsung Q80T but I made the same path and worked fine here. It was a big problem and solved with the tips that you shared.
Well I'm not really sure my TV says thought the Xbox dobie vision and they'll be sound through sound bar which it's really going through a receiver but anyway I have surround sound with all of the media apps but when I go to the game there's no sound at all and the only way I can get to play sound through the game is digital Dolby which I don't really want that any suggestions really surprised pleasantly surprised that you answer your text and comments Cheers
Thank you👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Gr8 video😌Helped clarify a lot of issues I’m having with my pioneer 4k avr and Xbox one 4k setup (yes I know this is for Xbox series x (message for all you captain obvious trolls 🧌 revving your finger over your keyboards, so don’t bother typing))… So back to the initial message, Pls make a video that helps people with Xbox ones as this video truly answers those issues as well and there is nothing better than this video on the net for troubleshooting the Xbox one 4k issues; believe me… I’ve looked😅🤯😵💫 so back to the point… Gr8 work mate👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have all of these devices, and solved it the same way. TLDR: bug with Panasonic boards affecting a huge number of receiver models this year. Likely won’t be a software fix, but hardware replacement.
Geez! So many steps here! This is great! All I'm hoping for is my shield pro to work with lossless audio once the 4700 comes in. Using the cx myself. I'll let ya know how it goes. Got it from video only and they had to order one so it'll be a while 🥺 haha
It would be nice to get a little video on the denon/marantz video>HDMI setup page and what exactly each of the options do. For example hdmi passthrough, passthrough source, and rc source select. I knew that through me around and around before trying to get the avr just right on what I wanted it to do. For reference I'm going to be piping my udp820, shield pro ps4 pro and switch to my cx and then earc'ing those fools to the 4700
Good vid. Unfortunate that you don't really touch on the issue with a LOT of regular and 4k blurays that use DTS instead of Atmos as the C1 won't even pass the signal through to a receiver, so you're forced to either swap cables, use a switch, or a splitter if you don't want your xbox downconverting yoru DTS audio to 2ch PCM. LG still hasn't fixed that since they stopped paying for the DTS license with the C1 and on. And the fact that there aren't many budget-friendly HDMI 2.1 capable receivers on the market in '22 is just sad. :(
This is how i have my Xbox Series X set up but i get audio lag ( like most people are) ( LG CX77/Yamaha AVR) when using Atoms. Ive tried so many configurations and nothing works unless i turn of Atmos on the Xbox. With my Apple TV 4k i have no issues and its ran the the way the Xbox is setup. No Lag, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.Very frustrating 🤬
Just a note for anybody who might be wondering, the ps5 4k 120 works with my denon x4700h...I'm pretty sure all the hdmi 2.1 receivers will work with the ps5 it's just the xbox series x that is the mismatch. I have my series x running directly to an LG, so 4k 120 is no problem. Ori 4k 120 is spectacular.
I've honestly never bothered with home theatre systems for games consoles. I've never lived in a home with big enough lounge rooms to warrant such a purchase 🤷 but cool video anyhow
You are missing something mate. Buy a reciever and some old b&w 601 s1. And a good center speaker and a sub from b&w. Kef, klipsch and warfdale are also good Don't buy something from bose,harman or sonos. No bass from the speakers Only from the sub
If xbox sends uncompressed video and audio to the TV wouldn't it be less lag for the receiver to take that uncompressed audio passthrough via eARC vs ARC?
For some reason there is an audio latency with Dolby atmos and my video elevate system. I have an LG nano cell 90 television. Everything is set just like you described in this video but I cannot get rid of the audio latency
@technodad can we get this exact same video updated with Xbox Series X & Pioneer Receivers? (VSX-LX505 etc). I do not believe that combo exists on RUclips, and its common use leads to a lot of questions on similar videos. I have that combo and am having trouble replicating your testing results. Thanks!
OH man! My PS5 took a big fat dump! It's bricked! I did watch some 4K UHD discs on it before, but I wouldn't have anything to show if I make a video about it. Honestly, if you are moving from 1080p to 4K, the PS5 and Series X will do a good job. If you already have 4K, I would suggest getting a stand alone player.
@@TechnoDad Man thats so frustrating. Yeah I've had an issue playing call of duty cold war zombies high rounds crashing on me but other than that the experience has been pretty smooth. For some reason I'm seeing that the audio output from PS5 is much greater than my audio output on my UDP820 Panasonic. Any thoughts on the reason of that? But the picture on the Panasonic looks crispier. I have a sony A9g and marantz sr7013 nothing hdmi 2.1 compliant. So I know I'm not getting the full experience.
Nice Job with the video! Its exactly what I was looking for!... I have one question, after you do all these changes, if you want to watch Netflix for example from the platform in the Oled, you dont need to change nothing? The configuraron is permanent and doesnt affect others apps?
Hi. Great video. I did everything exactly as you instructed using the Xbox series X, LG CX and a Marantz 1171 8k receiver. Everything works, EXCEPT, there is a slight audio delay when playing Xbox with the audio set to Dolby atmos. Nothing seems to work, not even adjusting the audio sync delay on the AVR. It’s not awful, but it’s kind of annoying and noticeable in games like call of duty. I’m wondering if I’m just better off using uncompressed audio. Seems like a waste to not take advantage of Atmos. Any suggestions?
ahh..I've just installed my LG C1 with everything going in a Denon avr-1912 (computer, xbox, concast cable box). I should have everything hitting the LG first and eArc to the Denon. Problem is, already mounted and might have a problem squeezing 2 more hdmi cables into the wall.
We’re you able to enable dtsx like this... I was able to set it to atmos, but if I try to set it to dts x I say my receiver Is Not capable (I have a 6700h)
Maybe this is a dumb question, say I follow these steps and it works great for the Xbox. My question is, If I want to add a PS5 and a Nintendo switch to the system along with the Xbox, (so 3 different systems) do they get plugged into the TV too, or into the AVR?
Great video! If i watch the news for example i will hear the audio through the AVR or once the AVR is switched off the sound will be pushed through the tv speakers?
Happy new year and big thx for your videos... I have questions regarding digital sound out on LG TV. You said that Auto is for ARC and pass through is for eARC. I've a budget LG tv (UN7300) with a standard HDMI ARC but I've have both options (auto/pass through) 1/ what's the point of having pass through option since my tv don't support eARC? 2/ what's the difference between both options (I mean what auto really do and what pass through do)? 3/ I have the JBL Bar 5.1 (with real surround speakers which support PCM/LPCM, AC3 and DTS) I know that my tv don't support DTS as all LG TVs of 2020 and ARC pass through don't support LPCM so the only option I've is Dolby digital and am wondering if auto is the right choice rather than using passthrough!? PS: I can detect a difference between both options; when auto is selected surround speakers are a bit louder when pass through is selected the front speakers (from soundbar) are a bit louder and surround speakers are less louder. Plz help auto or passthrough which is the most accurate in my case and what's the difference between both.
@@TechnoDad - so I have a onkyo hts7805 , and it looks like with every thing set up like you have described for the arc to arc variant (earc off -digital output auto) my AV says tv output is arc and I do get atmos signal and sound ...... there is still a delay that can’t be adjusted with the lip sync , I do not doubt this would work ok if it was earc to earc ... Shame - just have to wait for a new AV that does Xbox pass through....... when that will be I don’t know 🤷 oh well
I have a Denon x6300h and was sad to find out it wasn’t going to support 120hz. It sucks that I’ll have extra cable going to my tv. But I’ll definitely be willing to do this to take full advantage of the series X or PS5
Thanks for the video. I was hoping it was going to help me but I have set all the setting up the way you said and the Xbox says my receiver does not support atmos when I select it in the Xbox option. I have the samsung HW-q70t soundbar with rear speakers and the LG CX, both support eARC and dolby atmos. It works fine in apps and the ps5 but not with the Xbox series x. The only way I can get mine working is to add the thenaudio zone2 and it all works great. Without the zone2 I can select auto instead of passthrough in the tv options and it will work but I get a 1sec lipsync delay.
Hey Techno Dad, thanks for the great video! Question: Should I purchase a new AVR now or wait until the HDMI issue is resolved? What would you recommend
I got a weird work around with HDMI and then used optical cable to the receiver as I didn't really understand ARC. This gave me Dolby Digital but not the uncompressed 5.1. Guess this is how I get it.
I’m looking to get the lg sn11rg sound bar with the subwoofer 2 speakers etc to use for my Xbox series x and also the apps the tv comes with Apparently though they can’t do 120fps I have an oled tv and it’s works fine now so games that can run 120 FPS I guess I’ll have to unplug the surround sound system for like cod, which is so annoying definitely think I’m going to struggle setting it up though I’m useless at all that I get the basics but like the settings on the system and Xbox and tv I’m worried about
Good vid and info. Will say when I saw the $15/month fee to use the Dolby app with xbox series x (from xbox app store), no way do I want a high priced monthly subscription to use that app. You think it would be included with xbox. Anyway, I am still looking for ~500$ range 7.2 amp to work with my xbox series x at 120 hz 4k (48gbs). Tired of returning amps since they all seem to fail the xbox 120 hz test. Seems Denon is overpriced and its 8k is only 40gbs so their units still need to be better fixed to work with the hdmi 2.1 not to mention the hdmi 2.1a future update. (Presently using - LG 75NANO90UNA display works good at 120 hz 4k but optical is only stereo out, amp is Onkyo NR 787 which is only 4k 60hz).
I think that monthly option is only for the headphones. I don’t pay a monthly fee for Atmos on the Xbox. All AVRs HDMI 2.1 are capped at 40 Gbps right now, so you’ll be waiting for a bit. I still connect Series X to my LG directly and then go eARC for the sound.
@@TechnoDad I saw the monthly subscription for Dolby and quit the download so I don't know. I may give it a try again latter. Probably will have to replace amp when I find one that works at 4k 120hz low price range. Have watched your Pioneer VSX-LX505 Unboxing vid and I might consider that amp, but, waiting to see how you like it so far. Maybe the RZ50 it seems to do everything (iMax, Atmos surrounds 120hz 4k/8k) , but price is high and none have Auro 3D.
One thing not to forget for any LG TV later than c9, b9, e9 series, is that 2020 and later TVs will not pass through DTS:X. 2019s and older with eARC are not affected here So for BluRays that are using DTS:X standard you will not want to use your gaming system for your videos, (which was also said in the video). Instead go back to a standard BluRay player connected to the AVR directly and then video out to TV. Basically you won't use HDMI 2.1 for BluRays, but you'll get all sound profiles your AVR supports, including DTS:X. Who wants 120hz with a BluRay anyways?
Hi Techno dad, great video...I have a question by the way.... The AVRs that I have checked all claim Dolby Atmos BUT then have ARC HDMI and not eARC, so when the TV with eARC sends UNCOMPRESSED signals to the AVR, is the AVR in a position to accept that...?? Remember, the AVR says ARC (next to HDMI) and not eARC...?
Ok I’m gonna be THAT GUY today!! I have an Onkyo HT-R580 and no it does not have Dolby Atmos!! I’m pretty sure I just need a new RVR but is there any way to get this to work until I buy my house? I tried to hook it up last night but am only getting 720p 😂😂!! Any idea on how to hook it up

@@TechnoDad To solve audio lag or audio sync issues set the audio output settings on series x from bitstream out to 7.1 uncompressed. Essentially what this does is it has the series x decode the audio as it's already uncompressed and sends it to the avr. This setting should send all audio formats including dolby atmos to the avr as well. In my setup I'm using an Xbox series x connected to hdmi 1 on a LG c9 TV. I then have a rocket fish ultra high speed hdmi cable which is ultra certified going from the hdmi 2 eARC port on TV to eARC port on my Denon AVR-S750H. My sound mode setting on the avr is set to auto which will show its receiving a digital pcm signal with multi channel 7.1. On the Denon avr if you have audyssey multi eq setup make sure sound mode is auto instead of pure direct to take advantage of audyssey audio enhancements. Also I have my TV sound output to Hdmi ARC with eARC enabled and digital sound out to pass-through. When messing with the different settings I noticed that if I changed it from pass-through to pcm or auto my avr would only display stereo in stead of multi channel 7.1 which has all speakers enabled in the denon app.
@@candrews1987 great tips, will your Denon show Atmos? Do you get any signal in your overhead speakers?
@@chriskorneluk2255 The denon will not show atmos on the display since its not doing the decoding. Only shows pcm digital as a result from the audio being sent uncompressed from series x. My avr is currently set up in a 7.1 configuration with rear surround speakers instead of overhead speakers for atmos. All speakers are enabled and do out output sound according to the audio mix thats being played through them.
@@candrews1987 thanks, but you are down sampling Atmos to 7.1, I tried it but the audio quality significantly drops as does object movement, atmos sounds much better despite annoying drops.
It is a nice bandaid for the lag but it does not fix the xbox atmos drop issue microsoft has in their software. I hope a future firmware does it or an update to the dolby atmos app.
Cheers
THANK YOU! Been searching for this for years for my (new) Xbox Series X to LG C9 to Marantz 6011. The only issue was the lag, and the LG AV sync setting does nothing to help. Had to switch Xbox audio out to uncompressed stereo, 5.1, or 7.1. Let's hope for a firmware fix from Microsoft's side...
Excuse me, do you know if the pcm audio can output 5.1 channels through earc. Or how do you get uncompressed 5.1 channels from the Xbox, I’m trying to figure out how to do the same but for a PS5. I don’t have a hdmi 2.1 receiver so I’m using earc as my tv and receiver do support both of them earc.
Hey Techno Dad, I also have a OLED E9, running Series X cable straight to the tv via hdmi 1, then cable to my denon AVRX4400. No matter what I do I can’t get rid of the audio lag whenever you select bitstream then Dolby Atmos in the xbox setting. Even the Dolby digital has a lag. The only option that does not give lag is uncompressed and DTS. None of the lip sync settings will fix the lag, I know a lot of people have this exact same issue.
Hi Diego! I don't have those issues and I'm not doing anything special. Could it be a cable issue? Maybe swap out the cable from the E9 to the Denon? I'm not really sure anything else that could help the situation.
Same issue and it's pretty frustrating
Did anyone sort the lag issue out? I’m having the same issue with my C1. Apparently the game mode/ low latency is causing this but I don’t know how to remove the lag.
The reason why I didn't answer you back I was sleeping I do appreciate it I just got done working yesterday
All good. I work graveyard so I understand having a crazy schedule.
@@TechnoDad thanks
Thank you for the information. It look like we are going back to put everything to the T.V. and use the T.V. Earc to the Earc receiver. Until the receiver get more 2.1 for all your devices. I got a LG CX with Denon X4400H Dolby Atmos work only if the EArc is off on the LG CX watching Netflix, Prime Video and Disneyplus.
Just change the video to audio 2 that's coming in on e-ark on your receiver settings
Wow! Thank you so much. I have a Samsung Q80T but I made the same path and worked fine here. It was a big problem and solved with the tips that you shared.
Are you using a AV Receiver or a Soundbar with eARC?
Hello @cristian Pedroso, can you answer question please from other person's post?
I'm using a Receiver Pioneer Vsx 326
I have Yamaha AV but you helped me a lot bud!
Hey man great video, simple to understand and it helped me get my set up working. Cheers.
Awesome! I'm glad I could help Rambo!
Your right my bad changed a setting works!!! Thanks 🎉
You got it going? That’s great! What was the problem?
Well I'm not really sure my TV says thought the Xbox dobie vision and they'll be sound through sound bar which it's really going through a receiver but anyway I have surround sound with all of the media apps but when I go to the game there's no sound at all and the only way I can get to play sound through the game is digital Dolby which I don't really want that any suggestions really surprised pleasantly surprised that you answer your text and comments Cheers
Finally i got my answer though I'm using a Yamaha A2A a rly great reciver.. Bang for the bucks and rly nice with the series x 👌tnx for help ✌️
You made it more clear it's just I think I don't have a 4K cord
Thank you👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Gr8 video😌Helped clarify a lot of issues I’m having with my pioneer 4k avr and Xbox one 4k setup (yes I know this is for Xbox series x (message for all you captain obvious trolls 🧌 revving your finger over your keyboards, so don’t bother typing))… So back to the initial message, Pls make a video that helps people with Xbox ones as this video truly answers those issues as well and there is nothing better than this video on the net for troubleshooting the Xbox one 4k issues; believe me… I’ve looked😅🤯😵💫 so back to the point… Gr8 work mate👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have all of these devices, and solved it the same way.
TLDR: bug with Panasonic boards affecting a huge number of receiver models this year. Likely won’t be a software fix, but hardware replacement.
Geez! So many steps here! This is great! All I'm hoping for is my shield pro to work with lossless audio once the 4700 comes in. Using the cx myself. I'll let ya know how it goes. Got it from video only and they had to order one so it'll be a while 🥺 haha
It would be nice to get a little video on the denon/marantz video>HDMI setup page and what exactly each of the options do. For example hdmi passthrough, passthrough source, and rc source select. I knew that through me around and around before trying to get the avr just right on what I wanted it to do. For reference I'm going to be piping my udp820, shield pro ps4 pro and switch to my cx and then earc'ing those fools to the 4700
I'll look into that Jim!
Why would anyone thumbs down this video???
Haters got to hate! Lol!
@@TechnoDad I guess. Great video dude. Thanks for posting!
I'm just going to wait till I can get the Xbox series X I'm going to stay subscribed thank you though
On PC I use a low hz side monitor connected to receiver and keep my good ones directly from the graphics card
Good tip!
Cool - thanks man - I can now configure my Seroes X correctly!
Perfect! If you use the Series X for streaming services, you might have to change the eARC setting to Auto.
Excellent explanation, thanks a lot!!
You’re very welcome!
Right on spot! Thanks for this!
You are so welcome!
thank you. I could fix the Audio delay with your help. hdmi control was the problem👊👊👊👍
Nice!
Did you need hdmi control on or off?
Thanks for this!
Good vid. Unfortunate that you don't really touch on the issue with a LOT of regular and 4k blurays that use DTS instead of Atmos as the C1 won't even pass the signal through to a receiver, so you're forced to either swap cables, use a switch, or a splitter if you don't want your xbox downconverting yoru DTS audio to 2ch PCM. LG still hasn't fixed that since they stopped paying for the DTS license with the C1 and on. And the fact that there aren't many budget-friendly HDMI 2.1 capable receivers on the market in '22 is just sad. :(
That's true, but that's why you have a separate 4K player.
Hey Channa, can you suggest a receiver under $500 that would have eArc + hdmi 2.1 and would be compatible with ps5??
No
Great video
This is how i have my Xbox Series X set up but i get audio lag ( like most people are) ( LG CX77/Yamaha AVR)
when using Atoms. Ive tried so many configurations and nothing works unless i turn of Atmos on the Xbox.
With my Apple TV 4k i have no issues and its ran the the way the Xbox is setup. No Lag, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.Very frustrating 🤬
Thanks, I was trying to my A/V receiver and it was real screwy!
I do have the OLED cx-10
Just a note for anybody who might be wondering, the ps5 4k 120 works with my denon x4700h...I'm pretty sure all the hdmi 2.1 receivers will work with the ps5 it's just the xbox series x that is the mismatch. I have my series x running directly to an LG, so 4k 120 is no problem. Ori 4k 120 is spectacular.
Thanks IPT! I made a video outlining all the steps for PS5 Marantz/Denon to LG OLED as well - ruclips.net/video/JZB0M5Z_to8/видео.html
thank you for this video
You are very welcome!
What’s going on techno dad.great video
Hi! Thank you for watching!!
I've honestly never bothered with home theatre systems for games consoles. I've never lived in a home with big enough lounge rooms to warrant such a purchase 🤷 but cool video anyhow
You are missing something mate. Buy a reciever and some old b&w 601 s1. And a good center speaker and a sub from b&w.
Kef, klipsch and warfdale are also good
Don't buy something from bose,harman or sonos. No bass from the speakers Only from the sub
If xbox sends uncompressed video and audio to the TV wouldn't it be less lag for the receiver to take that uncompressed audio passthrough via eARC vs ARC?
Thanks for the info!
You took me through all the steps there's nothing I can do I'm hoping it's just the cord
For some reason there is an audio latency with Dolby atmos and my video elevate system. I have an LG nano cell 90 television. Everything is set just like you described in this video but I cannot get rid of the audio latency
There is a lip sync/AV sync option in the LG.
@technodad can we get this exact same video updated with Xbox Series X & Pioneer Receivers? (VSX-LX505 etc).
I do not believe that combo exists on RUclips, and its common use leads to a lot of questions on similar videos. I have that combo and am having trouble replicating your testing results. Thanks!
Great video as always. I was wondering if you could do a video on PS5 vs xbox series x as 4k bluray players.
OH man! My PS5 took a big fat dump! It's bricked! I did watch some 4K UHD discs on it before, but I wouldn't have anything to show if I make a video about it. Honestly, if you are moving from 1080p to 4K, the PS5 and Series X will do a good job. If you already have 4K, I would suggest getting a stand alone player.
Bad Blu-ray player versus another bad Blu-ray player
@@TechnoDad Man thats so frustrating. Yeah I've had an issue playing call of duty cold war zombies high rounds crashing on me but other than that the experience has been pretty smooth. For some reason I'm seeing that the audio output from PS5 is much greater than my audio output on my UDP820 Panasonic. Any thoughts on the reason of that? But the picture on the Panasonic looks crispier. I have a sony A9g and marantz sr7013 nothing hdmi 2.1 compliant. So I know I'm not getting the full experience.
I followed these steps but had a delay of speech on the movie and went back to the optical cable. Thoughts?
Nice Job with the video! Its exactly what I was looking for!... I have one question, after you do all these changes, if you want to watch Netflix for example from the platform in the Oled, you dont need to change nothing? The configuraron is permanent and doesnt affect others apps?
Hi. Great video. I did everything exactly as you instructed using the Xbox series X, LG CX and a Marantz 1171 8k receiver. Everything works, EXCEPT, there is a slight audio delay when playing Xbox with the audio set to Dolby atmos. Nothing seems to work, not even adjusting the audio sync delay on the AVR. It’s not awful, but it’s kind of annoying and noticeable in games like call of duty. I’m wondering if I’m just better off using uncompressed audio. Seems like a waste to not take advantage of Atmos. Any suggestions?
Hi i have exactly same problem with little audio delay. Did you solve it?
ahh..I've just installed my LG C1 with everything going in a Denon avr-1912 (computer, xbox, concast cable box). I should have everything hitting the LG first and eArc to the Denon. Problem is, already mounted and might have a problem squeezing 2 more hdmi cables into the wall.
Great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
We’re you able to enable dtsx like this... I was able to set it to atmos, but if I try to set it to dts x I say my receiver Is Not capable (I have a 6700h)
Dolby Atmos always has a delay. Nothing I do fixes this.
Maybe this is a dumb question, say I follow these steps and it works great for the Xbox. My question is, If I want to add a PS5 and a Nintendo switch to the system along with the Xbox, (so 3 different systems) do they get plugged into the TV too, or into the AVR?
Came across this today. Using a pioneer vsx 1131 worked great was worried how I was going to make the 2.1 HDMI work with my receiver. Problem solved
AYYYY!!! Awesome news, Chris! I'm glad you found the video. Enjoy!
Great video!
If i watch the news for example i will hear the audio through the AVR or once the AVR is switched off the sound will be pushed through the tv speakers?
Happy new year and big thx for your videos... I have questions regarding digital sound out on LG TV. You said that Auto is for ARC and pass through is for eARC. I've a budget LG tv (UN7300) with a standard HDMI ARC but I've have both options (auto/pass through)
1/ what's the point of having pass through option since my tv don't support eARC?
2/ what's the difference between both options (I mean what auto really do and what pass through do)?
3/ I have the JBL Bar 5.1 (with real surround speakers which support PCM/LPCM, AC3 and DTS) I know that my tv don't support DTS as all LG TVs of 2020 and ARC pass through don't support LPCM so the only option I've is Dolby digital and am wondering if auto is the right choice rather than using passthrough!?
PS: I can detect a difference between both options; when auto is selected surround speakers are a bit louder when pass through is selected the front speakers (from soundbar) are a bit louder and surround speakers are less louder.
Plz help auto or passthrough which is the most accurate in my case and what's the difference between both.
Hey T.D ... Will try this and hopefully won't have the second audio lag...Will let you know 😊
Please do!
@@TechnoDad - so I have a onkyo hts7805 , and it looks like with every thing set up like you have described for the arc to arc variant (earc off -digital output auto) my AV says tv output is arc and I do get atmos signal and sound ...... there is still a delay that can’t be adjusted with the lip sync , I do not doubt this would work ok if it was earc to earc ...
Shame - just have to wait for a new AV that does Xbox pass through....... when that will be I don’t know 🤷 oh well
I have a Denon x6300h and was sad to find out it wasn’t going to support 120hz. It sucks that I’ll have extra cable going to my tv. But I’ll definitely be willing to do this to take full advantage of the series X or PS5
Well, HDMI 2.1 spec wasn't out at around 2016. I had the X6300H and it was a great AVR. There was no sign of HDMI 2.1 roll out at that time.
Thanks for the video. I was hoping it was going to help me but I have set all the setting up the way you said and the Xbox says my receiver does not support atmos when I select it in the Xbox option. I have the samsung HW-q70t soundbar with rear speakers and the LG CX, both support eARC and dolby atmos. It works fine in apps and the ps5 but not with the Xbox series x. The only way I can get mine working is to add the thenaudio zone2 and it all works great. Without the zone2 I can select auto instead of passthrough in the tv options and it will work but I get a 1sec lipsync delay.
So if I understand this correctly if the Marantz has HDMI 4k 120 hz output to the tv this workaround would no be necessary.
Hey Techno Dad, thanks for the great video!
Question:
Should I purchase a new AVR now or wait until the HDMI issue is resolved? What would you recommend
Damn! That's pretty odd...I would try contacting TCL tech support.
clear explanation, you´re my hero!!! I have a question, when you plug hdmi to eARC from TV, you used the spk618 too?
Hi! I’m glad you liked the video. No, I was not using the SPK618 when I made this video. I recently received that box.
I got a weird work around with HDMI and then used optical cable to the receiver as I didn't really understand ARC. This gave me Dolby Digital but not the uncompressed 5.1. Guess this is how I get it.
I’m looking to get the lg sn11rg sound bar with the subwoofer 2 speakers etc to use for my Xbox series x and also the apps the tv comes with
Apparently though they can’t do 120fps
I have an oled tv and it’s works fine now so games that can run 120 FPS I guess I’ll have to unplug the surround sound system for like cod, which is so annoying definitely think I’m going to struggle setting it up though I’m useless at all that I get the basics but like the settings on the system and Xbox and tv I’m worried about
Good vid and info.
Will say when I saw the $15/month fee to use the Dolby app with xbox series x (from xbox app store), no way do I want a high priced monthly subscription to use that app.
You think it would be included with xbox.
Anyway, I am still looking for ~500$ range 7.2 amp to work with my xbox series x at 120 hz 4k (48gbs). Tired of returning amps since they all seem to fail the xbox 120 hz test. Seems Denon is overpriced and its 8k is only 40gbs so their units still need to be better fixed to work with the hdmi 2.1 not to mention the hdmi 2.1a future update.
(Presently using - LG 75NANO90UNA display works good at 120 hz 4k but optical is only stereo out, amp is Onkyo NR 787 which is only 4k 60hz).
I think that monthly option is only for the headphones. I don’t pay a monthly fee for Atmos on the Xbox. All AVRs HDMI 2.1 are capped at 40 Gbps right now, so you’ll be waiting for a bit. I still connect Series X to my LG directly and then go eARC for the sound.
@@TechnoDad
I saw the monthly subscription for Dolby and quit the download so I don't know. I may give it a try again latter. Probably will have to replace amp when I find one that works at 4k 120hz low price range.
Have watched your Pioneer VSX-LX505 Unboxing vid and I might consider that amp, but, waiting to see how you like it so far. Maybe the RZ50 it seems to do everything (iMax, Atmos surrounds 120hz 4k/8k) , but price is high and none have Auro 3D.
Do this with a Sony receiver and the Sony 90j
Here you go - ruclips.net/video/NkS88Ot93VE/видео.html
I did pretty much everything thing you did but for me there's no Bitstream option on the Xbox...What should I Do ?
But doesn't the Xbox hdmi 2.1 needs to be on the TV hdmi 2.1 so it can be true 4k?
Just to help me out cuz you know what you're doing
Bitstream format option has now been removed from the xbox. Sucks.
So are Marantz and Denon the only AVR's that work with next gen consoles?
One thing not to forget for any LG TV later than c9, b9, e9 series, is that 2020 and later TVs will not pass through DTS:X. 2019s and older with eARC are not affected here
So for BluRays that are using DTS:X standard you will not want to use your gaming system for your videos, (which was also said in the video). Instead go back to a standard BluRay player connected to the AVR directly and then video out to TV. Basically you won't use HDMI 2.1 for BluRays, but you'll get all sound profiles your AVR supports, including DTS:X. Who wants 120hz with a BluRay anyways?
Passthrough causes sound popping when changing inputs or channels.
Can you do the same on the Samsung S95B?
As far as I understand, the XBOX supports Dolby Atmos audio. Is it possible to know which Atmos it outputs (PCM/DD+/TRUE HD) in games
Hi Techno dad, great video...I have a question by the way....
The AVRs that I have checked all claim Dolby Atmos BUT then have ARC HDMI and not eARC, so when the TV with eARC sends UNCOMPRESSED signals to the AVR, is the AVR in a position to accept that...?? Remember, the AVR says ARC (next to HDMI) and not eARC...?
Ok I’m gonna be THAT GUY today!! I have an Onkyo HT-R580 and no it does not have Dolby Atmos!! I’m pretty sure I just need a new RVR but is there any way to get this to work until I buy my house? I tried to hook it up last night but am only getting 720p 😂😂!! Any idea on how to hook it up
