Today we're shipping all of our Denon AVR-4700H and AVR-6700H orders!

Nice to see a new product launch that ships the day it's promised.

Active discussion on this thread.

AV Receiver HDMI Bug Update: Good News For PS5 And Nvidia Gamers - Forbes

Quote:
This week, though, Marantz and Denon owner Sound United has provided Stereonet with an update on the situation stating that according to its own extensive in-house testing, its new AVRs can in fact pass 4K at 120Hz from both the PS5 and, more surprisingly, Nvidia’s RTX 30 graphics cards.

When news of the new receivers’ HDMI issues first broke, it was thought likely then (before the consoles had arrived) that the PS5 wouldn’t be affected by the problem. But it’s still great to have this confirmed by Sound United (as well as numerous PS5 owners).

The Nvidia RTX 30 discovery, though, is more unexpected. According to the magazine c’t, which first reported the HDMI problem, Nvidia’s new cutting edge PC cards were expected to join the Xbox Series X in not passing 4K/120Hz properly through Denon and Marantz’s latest AVRs. Sound United is now not only able to state that this is not the case, however, but has released a (very useful) video explaining how to make sure your AVR and your Nvidia card are set up correctly to ensure there are no issues. A similar video for PS5 users can be found here.

During its tests, Sound United successfully got a Denon AVR-X2700H receiver to pass 4K/120Hz through from a PS5 and Nvidia RTX 3090 graphics card in all the formats you would expect. Namely RGB 8-bit, RGB 10-bit, YCbCr420 8-bit, YCbCr420 10-bit, and YCbCr420 12-bit.

If you know your graphics formats and are wondering why 4K/120Hz in 12-bit RGB isn’t on this compatibility list, it’s because the Denon and Marantz ‘8K compatible’ HDMI ports are designed to handle 40Gbps data rates rather than the 48Gbps data rates required to carry 12-bit RGB 4K/120Hz signals. This isn’t a problem, though, given that there are currently no 12-bit TVs out there. In fact, not even LG’s latest game-friendly X series of OLED TVs carry 48Gbps HDMIs, also choosing to stick instead at 40Gbps.
