Yeah, I kinda figured it was the reciever...but I guess my question is more...should the receiver be able to handle what I'm throwing at it and it's just a design limit (and hence, a board replacement would do nothing) or is it supposed to be able to handle this and the receiver is just failing...

It is not the HTPC, this only happens when the media is not being transcoded but while playing DIRECTLY, so the data stream is complete and consistant. Ironically, it actually plays fine when the media is being transcoded to a format less than 4K. It plays fine with the receiver OUT of the...

Yes, 1080p content plays fine. Wasn't sure about the transcoding as the server is doing the transcoding and not the receiver. But it makes sense. Is this an issue with this model receiver as a design limit or is it a failing component on the receiver? Wondering if a newer model will work better...

Yup...using the proper one.

Any fix for that? I'm pretty handy with electronic repairs if its a board swap or similar process? Anywhere online they sell replacement boards? Or am I looking at getting a new receiver, which I'm not really opposed to?

Both first things I checked.. I've done both these steps. Cables are certified and high end cables. Short 3' runs and I've updated to latest firmware. Reason why I'm thinking it's the receiver is, when I bypass it and connect the HTPC straight to TV (using same cables), I have no issues.

Thank you...I was thinking about upgrading because of an issue I am having with the receiver. Not sure if it's beginning to fail on me or I've reached the design limits of the unit. I posted this issue in another thread just now. Thank you again.

So about a year ago, I began massing more and more 4K (HDR, Dolby Atmos stuff) content on my HTPC server. This issue started creeping slowly and I am not sure if it is a limitation of the receiver or it is failing: When playing 4K content in my living room that has a pretty high-end setup, I...

New here, so be gentle, LOL. I've had a Yamaha RX-A850 for many years and am looking to get into a newer model. I really like Yamaha and would like to stick to the brand. What is their equivalent 2020/2021 model trim level to what I currently have? One feature I'm very interested in these...
