No its dotdot for atmos. The ear level channels and height channels are interchangable, but the subwooofer ones are not. So 7.2 is seven channels (either ear level or height) and 2 subwoofer channels (really its just 1 split..but its marketing to call it .2). So this receiver can do 5.2.2 or 7.2.0. it cannot support 5.1.4 or 7.1.4 (5.1.4 would require a 9.1 receiver, and 7.1.4 would be an 11.1 channel receiver...those exist..but not in this price range).

That's not how it works. People act like they're suddenly entitled to some to something when they pay the tiny annual fee (are you really of the mindset that the pitiful $60 actually covers the loss here?). Do you also act like you can intentionally wreck your cars because you pay for insurance?

If his device had broken 5 months ago and he returned it, that's one thing. But, to go and return it because there's suddenly a different device? "Come on, man." It's literally the reason why they changed the unlimited return policy to 90 days for electronics, because people were grossly taking advantage of it.

Thx OP and others who have provided helpful insight in this thread. I grabbed one of these at Costco yesterday with the plan of building my first ever home theater system.

This is all like a foreign language to me and it seems like there's a fairly steep learning curve. Can anyone point me to a good online source for understanding the basics so I can figure out what kind of speakers, subwoofers, and other components to get?

I'm not looking for a high-end setup, but just a reasonably solid budget-friendly system for a smallish (13x15 feet) media room that is prewired for a 7.1 speaker layout. I've never had anything like this, so even a basic system will be a huge upgrade for me. One of the things I'm confused about is whether I should be looking at in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, or some version of free-standing or wall mounted.

Thx in advance for pointing me in the right direction!

I bought this yesterday. Currently I do not have speakers (planning to buy soon). So, I plugged in the Xbox Series X to the AVR HDMI input and used the HDMI cable from my PS5 (it is 2.1) to connect it to the TV (LG C1). Then used another HDMI cable to connect the eARC port on the tv to the Vizio Elevate soundbar.

In AVR settings, I enabled audio passthrough to TV. However, i cannot get my Xbox to show 4k/120Hz or Dolby Atmos (when compatible content was played).

Am I doing something wrong or does the AVR actually requires 'certified hdmi 2.1' cables to work properly?

P.S. A similar connection strategy works without any issues when using a 4k HDMI switch.

16 or more at zip 76177 location. Nothing stands out special about the display and if you didn't know the value, you wouldn't give them much thought honestly. Should be good for picking one up if you are in the market. I am going to pass for now as doesn't do any good to upgrade my current one to Dolby Vision passthrough when my older OLED doesn't offer that. HBO Max app not showing Atmos via Nvidia Shield, but looks to be an issue with the latest update of the app, so not my receiver. Almost had an excuse for a second.

16 left at Seattle 98134. Coming from a Yamaha TSR 700, the sound is a bit warmer but not as bright. I had to do some tweaking after using the Audessey setup, but overall I like this receiver better.

So what do you do if your stand is an enclosed unit? Do you cut the back out?
find a tv console or open up the rear so it can vent or install fans

If you're returning a Yamaha TSR-700 I don't see the problem. It was sold as 8k@120Hz via future firmware update which turned out to be false and they've promised a hardware fix that probably will be many months away due to chip shortages. Not to mention that it's defective with slow input changes and other issues. I'll be returning mine which I bought just under a year ago and I've already bought the Denon to replace it.

Set up my new LG 65 C1 this receiver this afternoon. Very pleased with the unit. With HDMI and eArc it just seems to choose the right setting by default. I haven't done audyssey yet, never did before I usually just set the speakers manually and pass everything under 80 to my SVS. I think once this gets sold out, it ain't coming back so those looking for a 2021 entry AVR this seems like a great fit!

Found the fix!

Under settings, you have to select the TV format as '8K Enhanced' although your TV is 4K. That fixed the issue for me. I haven't tested Atmos detection yet, but will update it here.

Confirmed and got one in Cumming GA. Small display on shelf and 10 left. It is replacing a faulty AVR 920W that has the dreaded auto power down regardless of nothing connected and numerous resets. Quite disappointed it crapped out after 4 yrs, never a prob with my Onkyos but will give Denon another shot with this unit.

I did notice the Audussey configuration setup low sound and had to adjust manually on remote-option-channel level adjust and raise my center. So far enjoying sound and video quality. Hoping to get the new XBX over Xmas to enjoy further benefits…

You need to probably enable Enhanced HDMI.

Edit: looks like you already solved your issue by turning on 8k in setting.

See if Enhanced HDMI is enabled, if not enable it. I don't have this Denon but I remember reading somewhere in this thread or the other receiver thread about enabling it.

Sifting through the manual to find this setting. Unsuccessful so far!
