4K via a older receiver (1 Viewer)

[jebediah]

Hi guys.

Long story short. I have a older receiver that only handle 1080p at max resolution.

Now when i just bought a 4K TV "LG 65UF860V" the choice was simple. Just run the HDMI cable from the HTPC stright to the TV.

But how do i manage the sound? As i see it i only have 3 option.


1. HDMI cable between HTPC and TV, and one more from the TV's ARC to the receiver

2. Coax between HTPC and receiver, but as far as i know, coax is not as good as HDMI regarding the sound? Don't know why, it's only what i've been reading on other forums.

3. Buy a active HDMI splitter which is kinda expensive.


So what should you guys have done?

1. Only nets you 2.0 sound.
2. Coax doesn't carry lossless. Is your audio lossless.
3. Nets you 2.0 sound.
