PS4 & Denon X4700H (1 Viewer)

[fishook]

I have a new AVR, upon set up everything connected with no issues cable/shield/ blu-ray player all good.

But when I hook up my PS4 the AVR I get nothing.

I tested the HDMI connector so that is not the issue.

I thought I read somewhere this may be related to an external device that is needed?

How are you connecting the PS4 to the AVR? Via HDMI or digital optical?

HDMI

Yes, if you have an older 4700 without the newest upgraded HDMI 2.1 chipsets integrated into the video board, you do need an external box from Denon to make the older, faulty HDMI 2.1 chipsets compatible with 120 Hz 4k and all 8k signals.

Dan,

I suspect I know you. You've been to my house, haven't you?

Dan,

If I have, I may have spaced it as it would have been awhile back. Sorry.

Is the external box free?

It is free. Check the serial number to make sure it's less than xxxxxxx70000, any higher than that shouldn't need it.

Thanks. I don't need it I was just curious if Denon had more class than JVC did. Apparently they do.
