Thanks!
But the big question is when the next f/w will be out? Was promised already a couple of weeks ago i read.

You're stated connection options are correct.

So, according to @OlivierQC's message, HDR doesn't seem to work with Kodi v17.0 (Well... that was kind of what was expected). Thanks Olivier for testing.

I am little confused here. So, the shipping firmware doesn't support HDR, but Olivier somehow got a beta firmware that has HDR support?

I don't think the Pioneer SC-81 can be upgraded to HDMI 2.0a. The only way to get HDR and HD audio without upgrading the AVR would be by getting a HDFury Integral.

i think this week (source futeko) or may be the next week (source hdmkv)

Maybe UHD TV was getting at this pun on "beaver" Wink. Maybe this only has double meaning in the U.S.

No , I can definitely say that the pun was intended as it also has a double meaning here in the UK , hence the...

Good morning everybody Smile


What do you think about ExpressX engine v2, this is my opinion but the image processing is less visible on screen than the Version 1 with Q5/Q10 4K3D.

I see the contrast changed a bit but that's it, may be it is normal with 4K demo...

I know that the settings are not the same for each person but what are your settings ?

q10 connected to TV and HD audio via ARC is possible depending on TV model.
