SITUATION:
Refurb DENON X4500H AVR bought from A4L in Oct 2020.
A couple of days ago the AVR's eARC HDMI output just up and quit.
- Did all the cable and output swaps/checks and resets needed to confirm the failure.
The only function eARC was providing is OTA digital audio back to the AVR.
All other sources (Oppo, FireStick) are hooked directly into the AVR.
Moved AVR HDMI to Monitor 1 output and re-cabled TV-to-AVR audio with an Optical cable.
As far as I can figure, I have lost no capability since OTA audio max's out at DD 5.1. The Denon has kicked rear in all other respects.
QUESTION:
Out of warranty, so do I:
1) Press on as is until supply chain recovers or Monitor 1 fails
2) Bite the bullet and send off now for repair
Thoughts?
Cheers,
