Can I bypass HDCP 2.2 at all?

[Joseman37]

I have a concern bugging me.
I currently own 5 video game consoles and plan to connect them to a soon-to-buy AV receiver (even though my main goal is to watch 4K movies on it).
Also, all my consoles are probably not HDCP 2.2 compliant (being: PS4, X Box One S, Nintendo Switch, PS3, and Nintendo Wii U).

So I would like to know if I connect any of this consoles to my AV receiver, will I be guaranteed sound, and at least good image?

PS: I want to use a Denon AVR-S640H.

This is not how it works. The requirement of HDCP protection could only come from the video source aka Gaming console, DVD, CableBox, BD etc...
The AV receiver supports HDCP, not requiring it. If your sources don't require it, then you have nothing to worry about.
Lets quickly cover a scenario where HDCP 2.2 would be required, let's say you got 4k BD Ultra player and BD 4k disk which requires 2.2. In this case, your entire video chain must be able to support 2.2, including receiver and a TV.

And, actually, isn’t it the software that requires it? Not the player?

Yes, the software which has "pieces" stored on both disk and player and runs on the player.
