      I have a question to ask FOMO. Why are you reviewing a pre-production model of the r635? There’s a certain person here in the av space here on YT, ridiculing you for not having the production model. It’s nothing new for this particular person, as all he does is attack other YT, and true professional and calibrators. I stepped in, in your defense, to say maybe it’s bc this tv availability/stock is non existent right now. I’ve tried finding one, and can’t find one in stock. Also, the next availability to get one is next month. At least from BB. So, I’m just curious if this is actually the case?

    I don't need a bunch of power or volume in the living room and since we use Sonos speakers in the home, I was thinking of trying the "Sonos ARC" Soundbar which had the Atmos reflecting speaker.

    Perfect this is what I wanted to know! I have an Xbox One S and I was curious if I could keep it plugged into an hdmi port and use the arc port for audio. It feels like I’d really not make use of all the capabilities of the receiver having several HDMI ports, but I want the ease of use of having the Xbox icon on my Home Screen. Now I just need to know what happens if I don’t have a full array of surround sound speakers hooked up. Currently only have 2 speakers.

    So I have a Xbox one X and a JBL 9.1 soundbar. When I hook the JBL 9.1 to eARC it says I can do Dolby digital plus but shows it’s not compatible with Dolby Atmos (and yes I have the app). When I plug the Xbox directly into the JBL 9.1 it checks everything off and says I have Dolby Atmos available and ready to use. Is there something I’m missing here? If my soundbar is hooked up to eARC everything audio wise on any HDMI port should be Dolby Atmos enabled, correct? Also for HBO MAXS ‘the Batman’ my receiver goes nuts! It keeps switch being atmos and DD+ on the display? Does it do this to you on your setup? Sorry for the loaded question!

I am attempting to stream audio and video through PLEX to an outboard PS Audio integrated amp. There is audio, but it is clipping, or having dropouts that last less than a second. I suspect the digital audio out port is defective, and I plan to return it in exchange for another unit. But I am wondering whether anyone else is having this problem.

    TCL eArc is connect to HDMI ARC on Vizio
    Xbox series x is connected to another HDMI port with mode set to 2.0
    Xbox settings have audio as bitstream
    I am supposed to get a dolby atmos notification when the atmos source is detected but I cannot get it to work. I am pretty new to these setup so excuse me if I am doing sth obviously wrong. My suspicion is that since the sound bar doesn't support eArc, this won't work. Any suggestions?

      Sounds like you're having the same issue I'm having with my TCL and Vizio soundbar, SB36514-G6. It too has Atmos, but I'm not able to set it up as shown in this video. Does your TCL detect your soundbar's capability in Audio-->Auto Passthrough as it's shown in this video @ 2:30? Mine only detects Stereo in this setting. I have to manually set the Audio to DD+, DTS. The TCL also doesn't detect the soundbar in the CEC settings. I'm wondering if TCL just has a blindspot for Vizio.

    So earc can take the audio signal from another input on the tv and send it to receiver over the arc port? I have a 1080p receiver but plan on getting this 4k tv and hooking the ps5 and xbox series x up to the hdmi ports on the tv and then passing audio over the arc port to the receiver.

      . I’m thinking of getting the new Denon S960 that does 4K120 but saw it doesn’t pass anything in between (I.e. Xbox 1440) so if ps5 doesn’t have 4K120 I’ll be stuck with 4K 60 thru avr but will It have TrueHD (Ps5 has uhd blu ray player I’m not buying separately). I’m confusing myself now lol

    Techno Dad, I need to buy a new 7.2 AV Receiver. Do you have an opinion about the difference between Denon S and X series AVRs ? On Crutchfield, I am looking at two Denon AVRs: The Denon S960H ($649) and the X2700H ($849). Both are are rated for 4 ohms, which I like, and have the same 32-bit AKM D/A converters, and similar watts specs. However the S series AVRs tend to get better customer reviews than the more expensive X series ? Do you have any guidance for this decision ? (Both look like they would meet my needs. I certainly do not mind saving money by choosing an S series.)

    • @TechnoDad
      @TechnoDad  3 года назад +1

      Hi! The X series has more flexibility and options. Zone 2, RS 232 port, and I think a better version of Audyssey Room Calibration on the X-Series. You can't go wrong with either one in my opinion. When you get to the X3700H, you get A LOT more, but they start at $1,200.

I have to manually put the audio on DD+, DTS to get surround sound. However, I'm not sure I'm getting full Dolby Atmos by forcing this.

      I figured out my issue today. In troubleshooting, I hooked up my Vizio soundbar to my older Samsung TV via HDMI ARC and could not get any sound to come through. Called Vizio, they had me unplug the TV and soundbar and then press and hold down on the power button on the soundbar for 5 seconds. Plugged everything back in and sound was working. So I hooked up the soundbar to my TCL and did the same thing and now Auto Passthrough detects my soundbar as expected w/ DD+, DTS capabilities.

      Nevermind I think I fixed my own confusion after some research. So HDMI ARC on TVs can downstream lossless audio content from a media device such as a Bluray player or content from an Nvidia Shield Pro, the issue is that HDMI ARC ports on TVs cannot UPSTREAM lossless auto formats. Hence, why they invented eARC which can both upstream and downstream lossless content.
      So it should be Nvidia Shield --> R635 via HDMI ARC --> Sonos Arc via HDMI eARC
