Xbox one s

[snakeeyes]

Just don’t understand why it upscaled Blu-Ray player but not the Xbox

Might be the Blu-ray player upscaling

Do I need to change any settings in avr with being in mode 1?

No. It just affects the hdmi resolution. (Allows the hdmi to send full bandwidth signal)

Thx man for helping me out

It’s a Sony 7300 I think. But I probably won’t have it hooked up anymore

Sony 7200 supports 4K upscaling on the Sony. I have the Sony x800 4K player and it does slightly better Blu-ray upscaling than my Samsung KS8000 TV. I originally wanted the Vizio P series in 2016 but got the 65 in Samsung instead.

That’s the series I wanted too in 2016, those are supposed to be great TVs n they added hdr to them. I should of waited a year. I was gonna ask you if you had a tv or projector. I’ve been debating whether to get a bigger tv or projector

Ya with NHL coming to Seattle in fall 2021, I’m hoping to get a bigger TV for hockey viewing. For now 65in will have to do.

I may also look at projectors too.

Your right my Sony does upscale, wasn’t even thinking about that

You want a 75 or 82? I’ve been thinking 75 although 82 would be awesome except what the q8 n 9 cost for a 82 you might as well get a jvc or Sony projector

 

[Reckel]

Don’t you have dual vtf3-mk5’s?

I am hoping to spend in 2021 though. Maybe I can get a bit more then.

I have dual HSU VTF2 in my large living room but I have a single Rythmik LVX12 in my small theater room which I’m setting up 5.1.4 in. I do plan to look at adding one more sub after I get my speakers replaced. Then add a larger display in 2021.

Then add a larger display in 2021.

That's planning ahead.

Reckel, if it is all working ignore the following
To get the UHD discs working and HDR for the games the entire chain of connections needs to be Hdmi 2.0/Hccp 2.2.

If this is the case, then the Yamaha needs to be in, as stated Mode 1, for the correct frequency and bit depth. This can be done by the front panel button combo or the much easier web interface 192.1.168.???/Setup, it is in the Advanced section. The "/setup" lets you change anything in the Yamaha, without that part you can pick zones, volume and surround mode. The Tv needs to be enabled for Deepcolour or whatever the equivalent setting is on the HDMI input. Then run the check hdmi on the Xbox One S. You should get ticks across the board.

Thx. It seems to be working fine how it’s hooked up now. Seems to me the only way the Xbox will upscale is to have it hooked directly to tv but when it’s like that you can’t get atmos Dolby true hd dts ma on movies, everything is in Dolby digital, unless you know a way to get those.

I’ve got it to where my receiver does all the audio decoding but when Xbox is directly hooked to tv it’s just dd like I said. I have arc on cuz I didn’t wanna use optical cable when watching amazon prime, with arc I get dd at least for amazon. When Xbox is directly to tv it’s dd cuz the arc is being used and no other audio format will decode. I’m debating whether to just hook Xbox to tv and hook my Blu-Ray back up, idk

 

[Reckel]

From what I’ve read I think the only way to get all the audio formats is to Xbox to tv, direct tv box into Xbox then run hdmi from tv to receiver

 

[snakeeyes]

Did you try this way: The Blu-ray would go to the receiver. The Xbox would go to the receiver. The direct tv would go to the receiver. Then the receiver would have the hdmi ARC port to the TV.

If the Tv is 4k, then it is already upscale anything that is not 4k. The Xbox and the Yamaha can do the 4K or will pass through 1080 or 720 and let the Tv handle it. Since the TV cannot do the HDR does not mean you cannot get the 4K passed through to the Tv and process the Atmos with the Yamaha.

What you said is probably right but like I said a few posts ago, if I hook the Xbox directly to tv, I could not get hd audio watching movies. How I have it now, which Xbox is hooked up into the hdmi port I had my Blu-ray player in, I get all the hd audio. But how it is now, Xbox tells me my tv doesn’t support 4K @60hz which my tv does do in port 5. If Xbox is directly hooked to tv in hdmi port 5, Xbox says it supports 4K @60hz but other things on list say it can’t do which only the hdr ones should be selected since my tv doesn’t have hdr. So now I’m at a loss as to how to hook it up, not sure of what other settings I should be playing with on Xbox or which way to hook it up.

Anyone using a Xbox one s?

That’s what I’m using as my Blu-ray player. It works just fine running into AVR via HDMI. There’s a setting in the audio menu that says “let your receiver decode” the audio - make sure this is checked. Only using it for 1080 content though I think the new Xbox X has a 4K player. Some months ago I was considering a new Blu-ray player but unfortunately the Oppos are just too damn expensive. It’ll be interesting to see what new “audiophile” players will be released next year.
