How to Setup PS5 with AVR and LG OLED TV | 4K120Hz Setup Denon/Marantz

[@stopthefomo]

So PS5 is using compression 4K120 HDR unlike Series X which only uses uncompressed 4K120?

[@NicoJurran]

No, PS5 is using different FRL patterns than the XSX for tranfering 4K120.

[@ToniArcadia]

Makes sense to me, PS5 was supposed to come out last year so it has all those things sorted out 😅🤷‍♂️ older hardware not surprised

[@alvidrez7956]

No the ps5 is sending out uncompressed , the factor is that Marantz , Denon , Yamaha all use the same Panasonic chip , hence comparability

[@3DGFan9000]

i think its the opposite

[@jerrytufojr6383]

Technodad just made my day! I got the LG C9 and the Marantz 7015 AVR just for the PS5. Thanks for the great news!!!

[@willo300]

PS5 finally arriving this Friday, this video will be perfect for me hooking up to my LG C9 and SR8015 👍

[@CCharlsburg]

Thank you, good video. Worth noting a few handy points: - To fully quit a game, just hover over the game in the home menu and press your options button > select close game - The reason PS5 works with the present HDMI 2.1 chipset bug is because its outputting using 4:2:2 chroma rather than 4:4:4 - all that means is its a less quality signal than it could be, but its better than no signal at all at this point!! When the HDMI 2.1 bug is fixed/replaced, we should hope to see the full 4:4:4 output in action.

Good morning Channa. Thanks for staying up late to deliver timely and informative content. I hope you and yours are happy and healthy.

Hey, I've got a ps5 with an LG C1 Oled and when go to set up VRR, it says my tv does not support VRR. How do I fix that? I have my ps5 going into a brand new Onkyo 9.2 8k receiver.

[@BoobooMcKinley]

THANK YOU!!! This was driving me crazy for a week and I couldn’t find the answer anywhere. My LGOLEDC7 was on the correct setting but my Marantz SR7012 was not. I can finally enjoy my PS5 now (no 120Hz for me yet though, it seems, need to update things).

[@CompetitionChris]

I decided to buy the X3600h and just used the eArc. Saved me a lot of money. Especially considering Denon is only supplying one HDMI 2.1 input. It was a huge step up over my old Onkyo TX nr777. Now I'm just waiting for my Xbox series X to come in the mail. Ordered it on launch day and it is not supposed to be here until the 23rd of December. I have no idea when I'm going to get a PS5. Hopefully soon because my LG C9 is craving for some high frame rates

[@sumitchaudhary343]

Can i place denon 250 in e arc

[@gmcman30]

Thanks for making this video, I was holding on to my receipt for my Denon 2700H just in case

[@TechnoDad]

Right on!

[@CriPPleR_HD]

If you care about having the full bandwidth of your promised 2.1 point, I would still hold on to that receipt since the PS5 is not currently (at launch) at true 2.1 device. Still a great receiver if you don’t need the 2.1 bandwidth of the port.

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

@@CriPPleR_HD you don't need 48Gbps for any modern display. If you look at 04:21 in the video you will see that 4K@120P (12bit 4:2:2) being passed is just 32 Gbps. This signal far exceeds any modern display's color capabilities since they only utilize 10-bit panels. Whether it was native or upscaled by the source, the bandwidth is the same.

[@CriPPleR_HD]

@@SoundUnitedTraining Hi Phil! I never said that you need the full 48gbs bandwidth of 2.1. To clarify, what I meant to say was that you do need the full 40gbs for 4K@120hz 10bit 4:4:4 chroma sampling. For whatever reason, the 2020 2.1 ports on the Denon / Marantz are not accepting this bandwidth. If @greg cares about having a working 2.1 port on his receiver that passes the full bandwidth of 40gbs that Xbox Series X and the RTX 30 series cards, he should hold on to his receipt until Sound United offers a solution. Never said it was a 48gbs issue.

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

@@CriPPleR_HD Once communication is established between the source (like a PS5) in FRL, the AVR will pass up to 40Gbps. Issues are communication-based, not due to bandwidth. BTW the RTX30 cards work, just make sure they are updated.

[@mikemmikem2758]

Than you mentioning turning on/off components after setting up your gear. I have the Denon 3700H and ran into a problem with that and my Oppo 203D. The problem being the Oppo would not put out any sound - regardless of all my troubleshooting over the course of almost a week. After pulling out most of what's left of my hair I remember talking to Oppo when I had a problem with my 103D. All I had to do was a hard reset on my Oppo203. Specifically, with the unit on unplug the 203 and turn the unit and bingo. Sometimes the easiest fix is the simplest fix. With the complexities of electronics these days it's a wonder that anything works.

Awesome, glad to know it’s working, though I just got the X3600H, so I’ll just connect the PS5 directly into the HDMI port on my LG CX for 120Hz and use eARC for audio via the AVR

[@neilhansen3025]

Thanks for testing this out for us Channa!

[@links9636]

Fantastic news! Did you notice any difference in audio or video latency when doing 4k120 via eARC vs through the receiver?

[@SIRKGM14vg]

I think if you were PS5 -> TV you would use eARC PS5 -> AVR you would not use eARC Supposedly VRR and ALLM take care of that. However you will notice that receivers will use en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition-minimized_differential_signaling?wprov=sfti1 to achieve that. So instead of 60Hz/120Hz you will get something slightly less. So it does impact refresh rate.

[@sumitchaudhary343]

​@@SIRKGM14vgso best is to use earc. In that case avr with 4k 60p should be fine with ps5 right on playing 120 fps games

You aren't getting full 3840x2160 resolution at 120Hz, that's dynamic 4K resolution which is actually running at around 1440p. The PS5 upconverts all lower resolution games to 2160p and your TV and receiver read that forced output instead of the actual real-time resolution.

[@TechnoDad]

Yeah, it’s all upscaled, I said that in a previous video.

[@mikesaintjulesmusic]

Yeah, correct!

[@mattadam1759]

Soooooo series x doesn’t upscale?

[@mattadam1759]

[@TomlinsonHolman52583]

@@mattadam1759 - Series X upscales too if the content is lower resolution than the selected resolution output. Both PS5 and Series X support 4K 120Hz and 8K - however their hardware is limiting native 4K games to 30fps and 60fps at the moment for next-gen games with demanding graphics. 120fps is very much possible on next-gen console games, but only with resolution drops and ray-tracing disabled.

did you tried the Marantz with PC 4K120 ?

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Hey Chana! I just tried something similar for the Denon 3700H and it works in 120Hz but a couple of things (perhaps a future video) - no VRR but that's a PS5 issue, and I'm seeing YCBCR422 8b 4L8 when running CODCW. I have the PS5 plugged into the 8K input and I have the CX connected via EARC to the Denon input. The receiver is set to 8K Enhanced. Is this the expected output?

[@franchise78]

This video was amazing TechnoDad. Just got a PS5, but it’s unfortunately paired with a 2016 Samsung & 2009 Pioneer AVR. TV upgrade coming in 2021, but looking for a solid AVR. Might wait to see more videos from you before making the change.

[@franchise78]

Have an A80J on the way and just waiting to get a 2700 or 3700. Any different steps with the Sony?

[@CriPPleR_HD]

The reason that the PS5 is not having the issue is because it is not using 4K@120 with 10bit 4:4:4 chroma sampling. The problem is bandwidth. Thing to keep in mind that 120hz mode in CoD is not 4K. Your PS4 is pretty much using HDMI 2.0 bandwidth hence no compatibility issues. The moment that PS5 supports 4K@120 10bit, 4:4:4 (which is why we need 2.1) the Marantz will run into the same issue as it has with the RTX 30 series and the Xbox Series X.

[@CriPPleR_HD]

This could be why the PS5 does not currently support VRR. 🤔

[@MancaveCentral1]

Even with Enhanced enabled on my Denon AVR X6400, no HDR works while in 4K on the PS5. It was fine on the on the PS4 Pro. I wonder if the new consoles output higher bandwidth that the older non 8K AVR's can't accept.

The issue with select HDMI 2.1 devices is a communication issue, not a bandwidth issue. Once communication is established between an HDMI 2.1 source, receiver and the display up to 4K@120hz 10bit 4:4:4 (40Gbps bandwidth) is supported.

@@SoundUnitedTraining so do I buy a new avr right now? I'm looking at the marantz 6015... is it worth it to buy it

Does this work on a Denon 2019 model? I have the S750H

[@michaelcorbin9364]

If not is there anything I can do cheaper than buying a new AVR?

Question: Is this the pass through settings or is this processing?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi Moose! Passthrough.

[@SIRKGM14vg]

@@TechnoDad Thanks for the quick response. So I think I see why this may work. I’ve been checking out a few videos and trying to determine why this is the case. And you’ll have to bare with me, cause will be a bit lengthy. But I appreciate the read. What I’m working with: - XSX & PS5 - Yamaha RV-6VA (which I opted for because of the bug over the the Denon x6700h) - LG CX OLED For the PS5 I notice that regardless of what setting there is a max bandwidth of 32Gb/s - while on the XSX, I’m able to get 40 (max supported by CX). And that setting comes down to 4:4:4 vs 4:2:2 on the XSX and PS5 respectively. Me thinks, the reason why pass through works is because the unique configuration specifications of the PS5 somehow fall into tolerable setup. Now Yamaha doesn’t have 4K/120Hz pass through yet, and that I can confirm. So I tried turning off HDR on XSX and that still wouldn’t work. What are your thoughts? Also note I’m able to get full PC RGB which is 4:4:4 on PS5 by changing the input via the CX Home Dashboard from Game to PC.

[@giogamer4825]

Hey Tencho Dad, looking forward to have a confirmation if the Ps5 has HDMI chipset of 48 Gbps or 40Gbps like the Xbox Series X

[@filipeperry]

It’s hard to confirm . The only certainty we have is that ps5 is currently using 32 Gbps (4k @ 120 4: 2: 2).

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

4K120P (10bit 4:4:4) is just 40Gbps which the AVR will pass. You don't need 48Gbps for any modern display which all use 10-bit panels. If you look at 04:21 in the video you will see that 4K@120P (12bit 4:2:2) being passed is just 32 Gbps. This signal far exceeds any modern display's color capabilities since they only utilize 10-bit panels. No current HDMI 2.1 display can support more than that. BTW, whether it was native or upscaled by the source, the bandwidth is the same.

[@bharatv5587]

Can you please clarify if I can get 4k 120hz by connecting to a HDMI IN to one of the ports of my soundbar and connecting my soundbar to ARC on my tv?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi! Unfortunately, there are no soundbars that support 4K 120Hz

[@bharatv5587]

@@TechnoDad atleast 4k 60?

[@TheHeadman]

2300 isn’t in my budget... I’m more of an Onkyo person myself. Not sure if they have the Panasonic chip in them or not... waiting to here back from them.

[@leslybranson1007]

Can you just run HDMI from the ps5 to the tv and run a optical cable from the tv to the receiver? That’s if you have like a sr7013

[@TechnoDad]

Yes, but you will not have any immersive sound formats through optical.

[@sphinxproductions]

Plus youd most likely introduce a bit of latency

I cant even get sourround sound with my set up, only stereo, what am i doing wrong? I have my ps5 going via hdmi to lg oled bx and lg oled bx going via hdmi arc to denon avr s650h

[@MarcusMaximus909]

@technodad...is this passing a full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling stream through the AVR?

[@TechnoDad]

This is 4:2:2 but I think that's a limitation with the PS5 and there's no way for me to specify 4:4:4 on it.

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

You won't be running 4K120Hz on those AVRs, so I'm not sure what you are asking.

Hey Channa! I got a Denon X4500H. Yeah, no 120hz for me. What if I connect my PS5 directly to my LG C9 with HDMI 2.1 and my Denon with the TV with HDMI 2.0 and then switch to ARC? Is that gonna give me 120hz?

Yeah, your TV will process that just fine. eARC into the receiver and you're golden.

Because that is the limit of the HDMI 2.1 in the PS5.
