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.

I’m using it as my player now too and it is a 4K player. I do have the avr marked to decode everything but it seems to me it only works that way directly into avr. But like that, the 4K part of it is not right when looking at the 4K details on Xbox. When xbox is directly to tv, 4K details is some what better but there’s still areas where Xbox is saying the tv doesn’t support something, which the hdr stuff is correct cuz tv doesn’t have it but everything should have a green check mark by it and it doesn’t. Also it only decodes Dolby digital directly to tv, can’t get any hd audio

Good to know. I have a old sharp tv but when I do upgrade to 4K I’ll keep this in mind. Did not read the whole thread but if you haven’t tried already maybe try sending the audio on the optical cable to the AVR and plug the HDMI straight into the TV.

I thought about optical but I’m pretty sure that’s only going to pass dd too. I was hoping someone on here has an Xbox and figured out how to connect it directly to tv and still get hd audio, I’ve been researching but haven’t found anything yet on how that happens
