I was bummin' pretty hard about the sync delay with my Series X / LG C9 / Denon AVR / 5.1.2 set up. Followed this video (I admit I wasn't optimistic), and it worked perfectly...I had done everything, except didn't toggle eArc and pass through on the TV (I set it to use eArc as the source, but that wasn't complete enough)...that did the trick! Thanks for solving my 1%'er problems, Techno Dad!

[@TechnoDad]

AYYYYY!! I'm glad my video helped.

[@toobrew7956]

Hi, sorry I know this is from 2 years ago but I am just about to pull the trigger on a Denon AVC-X6700H and I have same LG C9 as you. I recently saw a video on Digital Foundry where they are discussing the Atmos delay on Xbox and how it was unbearable to use so they reverted to DD. Is this the same issue you had, and did following this setup completely remove the delay issues? In the opinion of John at Digital Foundry it was a bug with the Xbox that hadn't been fixed, or do you think he's got the wrong settings applied on one or more devices? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated as I too seem to be in the same 1%er club as you, and was wondering if waiting a while for newer AVR's with updated HDMI specs might be better, rather than using eARC workaround. The DF video is on DF Clips 'playstation 5 Dolby Atmos support tested' (they mostly discuss the issues with Xbox though)

[@h2ohamer271]

Great Video. When someone knows what they talking about , the video just flows and simplifies things :)

[@xjr1618x]

thanks for this video. I have a Sony Oled TV 4k and the newly released Denon 1700h. I haven't been able to get HDR, 120 hz or dolby atmos. Now with your help I'm going to change the HDMI connections and hope it will finally work. New sub here!

Can U tell me which audio option on your xbox is with less audio delay? 5.1 uncompressed, Dolby Digital or maybe Dolby atmos? Im asking because i chose Dolby Digital and i think there is a very minimum audio delay hard to catch but maybe it is something wrong with my brain xD

[@notmikemiz]

@@tommek1982 5.1 uncompressed, the delay seems to be due to the receiver switching functions when switching apps - some use atmos, some not. That's likely the cause of the delays

[@jimdowell1729]

It would be nice to get a little video on the denon/marantz video>HDMI setup page and what exactly each of the options do. For example hdmi passthrough, passthrough source, and rc source select. I knew that through me around and around before trying to get the avr just right on what I wanted it to do. For reference I'm going to be piping my udp820, shield pro ps4 pro and switch to my cx and then earc'ing those fools to the 4700

Hey Techno Dad, thanks for the great video! Question: Should I purchase a new AVR now or wait until the HDMI issue is resolved? What would you recommend

[@TechnoDad]

Damn! That's pretty odd...I would try contacting TCL tech support.

[@irreplaceableboyyy]

Happy new year and big thx for your videos... I have questions regarding digital sound out on LG TV. You said that Auto is for ARC and pass through is for eARC. I've a budget LG tv (UN7300) with a standard HDMI ARC but I've have both options (auto/pass through) 1/ what's the point of having pass through option since my tv don't support eARC? 2/ what's the difference between both options (I mean what auto really do and what pass through do)? 3/ I have the JBL Bar 5.1 (with real surround speakers which support PCM/LPCM, AC3 and DTS) I know that my tv don't support DTS as all LG TVs of 2020 and ARC pass through don't support LPCM so the only option I've is Dolby digital and am wondering if auto is the right choice rather than using passthrough!? PS: I can detect a difference between both options; when auto is selected surround speakers are a bit louder when pass through is selected the front speakers (from soundbar) are a bit louder and surround speakers are less louder. Plz help auto or passthrough which is the most accurate in my case and what's the difference between both.

Great vid. Thanks man. I've got the Series X and LG E9 although my receiver is the Denon 3700. Got it setup as per your video now. I'm wondering what happens when a game isn't Dolby Atmos but the Series X is forcing Atmos Bitstream. Also. Do you know if that Marantz app works with Denon receivers? Would be very handy to see which speakers are currently active

[@TechnoDad]

Hello Ryan, download the Denon AVR Remote app. You may have to change passthrough to auto or change the Xbox back to 7.1 uncompressed so it doesn’t force Atmos.

[@snirski]

Great video! If i watch the news for example i will hear the audio through the AVR or once the AVR is switched off the sound will be pushed through the tv speakers?

[@jenesuispasbavard]

With these exact settings, I get some pretty horrific audio lag when using Dolby Atmos. My setup: Xbox Series X --HDMI 2.1--> LG C1 OLED --HDMI ARC--> LG SN7R soundbar. My settings are - Xbox: Bitstream out, Dolby Atmos for home theater; TV: Sound out Auto, eARC off; soundbar: ARC.

[@shikapal7767]

Hi. Are you able to brief me on this? I have the same TV and my Xbox x series literally has no sound when playing games. Thanks.

[@KillerSneak]

Any chance we can get an updated version for this video? Lets say with a C1 or C2 and the newest series X with the pass through option? I’m a bit lost now (just go myself a new 65” C2) and the options aren’t the same anymore. (Both the series X and the C2 have a pass through option for sound) And I’m assuming I should let them pass everything to my Denon receiver?)

[@iamr9]

Hey Channa, can you suggest a receiver under $500 that would have eArc + hdmi 2.1 and would be compatible with ps5??

[@jdubdoubleu]

No

[@gustavpicora]

This was vey helpful, thanks a lot, as others have said, i also have some sound lag, like 70-100ms, based in twitch av sync video. I have the series x connected to. LG BX(2020) to the 2.1hdmi, then eARC to the soundbar. Settings in console is as you suggested, on the tv however i left the dolby atmos switch to off, my thoughts is that using audio passthrough, will have the sound bar handle the audio, am i wrong? Also i found out that having the switch off (atmos on the tv) helped with the lag from like 300ms to the 70-100, I mentioned before. I see dolby atmos on the soundbar info screen, when playing cod or playing any of the dolby app videos. I will try changing the cable from tv to soundbar, and see if it helps, the cable from console to tv is the one that came with console which shall be ultra high speed @40gbps/120hz. 4K.

I'm just going to wait till I can get the Xbox series X I'm going to stay subscribed thank you though

[@briangreenstein9263]

Hi. Great video. I did everything exactly as you instructed using the Xbox series X, LG CX and a Marantz 1171 8k receiver. Everything works, EXCEPT, there is a slight audio delay when playing Xbox with the audio set to Dolby atmos. Nothing seems to work, not even adjusting the audio sync delay on the AVR. It’s not awful, but it’s kind of annoying and noticeable in games like call of duty. I’m wondering if I’m just better off using uncompressed audio. Seems like a waste to not take advantage of Atmos. Any suggestions?

[@tommek1982]

Hi i have exactly same problem with little audio delay. Did you solve it?

[@coldhalloweennight6435]

Thanks for the Video, was great! But i have a Question: My Receiver (DENON AVR 1300W) only supports standard ARC. Does that mean that the Sound from the Console is only output through the speakers in compressed form, and does this also mean, that my already connected Devices such as UHD Player only output compressed sound? Many thanks!

[@SniperVIIUS]

great! I have a SR7015 being delivered tomorrow and I will be setting everything up with the Marantz and Series X. 2 weeks ago I also bought the LG CX 77" and a Klipsch Atmos surround system. It will be a 5.1.2 for now but will soon be the 5.2.4 or maybe the 7.2.4 if I decide to add an extra amp. I'm open to ideas for amps. Subscribed!! Oh, 1 last thing, I wasn't able to get an image from my PC to the new LG CX for some reason. I tried to connect my new Corsair i7200 with a i9 10850, 32gb ram and a 3080 but didn't get a picture on my input 3 or 4. Any tips for that?

[@jonathanb3886]

Great video as always. I was wondering if you could do a video on PS5 vs xbox series x as 4k bluray players.

[@TechnoDad]

OH man! My PS5 took a big fat dump! It's bricked! I did watch some 4K UHD discs on it before, but I wouldn't have anything to show if I make a video about it. Honestly, if you are moving from 1080p to 4K, the PS5 and Series X will do a good job. If you already have 4K, I would suggest getting a stand alone player.

Great information, this should also work with a PS5 and a TCL R646? My AV-Receceiver is 4k but only has ARC but I'm thinking this workaround will still give me 4k/120hz and stereo/atmos sound? I was worried I'd need a new receiver with 2.1 but do you think this setup will work for me?

[@JordanStead]

THANK YOU! Been searching for this for years for my (new) Xbox Series X to LG C9 to Marantz 6011. The only issue was the lag, and the LG AV sync setting does nothing to help. Had to switch Xbox audio out to uncompressed stereo, 5.1, or 7.1. Let's hope for a firmware fix from Microsoft's side...

[@alejandrolopez8657]

Excuse me, do you know if the pcm audio can output 5.1 channels through earc. Or how do you get uncompressed 5.1 channels from the Xbox, I’m trying to figure out how to do the same but for a PS5. I don’t have a hdmi 2.1 receiver so I’m using earc as my tv and receiver do support both of them earc.

[@CompetitionChris]

Just curious, does your TV still say Dolby Atmos when it's running through e Arc? Mine only does it what it's using internal speakers with Dolby Atmos. I still get Dolby Atmos to my receiver but my C9 won't pop up Dolby Atmos when it's running eArc

[@TechnoDad]

Hello Chris! No, the Dolby Atmos flag will only show up when the TV is set to Internal TV Speakers.

[@arindamchatterjeesccm]

Hi Techno dad, great video...I have a question by the way.... The AVRs that I have checked all claim Dolby Atmos BUT then have ARC HDMI and not eARC, so when the TV with eARC sends UNCOMPRESSED signals to the AVR, is the AVR in a position to accept that...?? Remember, the AVR says ARC (next to HDMI) and not eARC...?

[@oCLUo]

Thank you for this video!!! I have a C9 and a older Denon X1300W Can I hook up the ps5 and the series X in this fashion at the same time?

Thanks for the video. I was hoping it was going to help me but I have set all the setting up the way you said and the Xbox says my receiver does not support atmos when I select it in the Xbox option. I have the samsung HW-q70t soundbar with rear speakers and the LG CX, both support eARC and dolby atmos. It works fine in apps and the ps5 but not with the Xbox series x. The only way I can get mine working is to add the thenaudio zone2 and it all works great. Without the zone2 I can select auto instead of passthrough in the tv options and it will work but I get a 1sec lipsync delay.

[@briankgarland]

This got the video working, so thanks! But the Atmos audio has a delay (not with headphones though). Any idea how to fix the audio delay? So far I have to switch to Stereo Uncompressed, which sucks.

Great vid. Wondering, if you have ANY guidance regarding the setup via a Nakamichi Shockwafe 9.2 Ultra soundbar. I'm running an XBOX SERIES X via my LG C9 and the Nakamichi soundbar. Nak help desk setup guide says to connect XBOX via HDMI 2 port on the soundbar. That setup does NOT allow for 120HZ 4K UHD. I tried connecting the XBOX directly to the HDMI 1 port on the C9 (as instructed in your vid) and...suddenly the XBOX display settings confirmed 120HZ 4K UHD...and all green checkmarks. BUT...sound for some reason was weird...muffled, not working correctly. I've reached out to Nakamichi and just waiting for their reply. Figured I'd hit you up as well as trust your guidance. (just FYI: The Nakamichi soundbar only has an ARC port...not eARC) And as you know, the LG C9 has the eARC.

[@DaveVoyles]

I have all of these devices, and solved it the same way. TLDR: bug with Panasonic boards affecting a huge number of receiver models this year. Likely won’t be a software fix, but hardware replacement.

[@ecomasterster]

Hey Channa, I bought DENON s650h recently and was disappointed that I've ducked up, as it does not support 120fps throughput, but your solutions seem to resolve that issue, but are there any drawbacks except comofrtability?

[@rickied1418]

For some reason there is an audio latency with Dolby atmos and my video elevate system. I have an LG nano cell 90 television. Everything is set just like you described in this video but I cannot get rid of the audio latency

[@TechnoDad]

There is a lip sync/AV sync option in the LG.

[@kaukey]

On PC I use a low hz side monitor connected to receiver and keep my good ones directly from the graphics card

[@TechnoDad]

Good tip!

[@skydivechris1984]

Would you recommend turning on allow dolby vision and dolby vision for gaming from the xbox menu ---> tv & display ---> video modes?

[@diegocastaneda4732]

Hey Techno Dad, I also have a OLED E9, running Series X cable straight to the tv via hdmi 1, then cable to my denon AVRX4400. No matter what I do I can’t get rid of the audio lag whenever you select bitstream then Dolby Atmos in the xbox setting. Even the Dolby digital has a lag. The only option that does not give lag is uncompressed and DTS. None of the lip sync settings will fix the lag, I know a lot of people have this exact same issue.

[@TechnoDad]

Hi Diego! I don't have those issues and I'm not doing anything special. Could it be a cable issue? Maybe swap out the cable from the E9 to the Denon? I'm not really sure anything else that could help the situation.

[@Supershake1979]

Same issue and it's pretty frustrating

[@iiithegaziii451]

Did anyone sort the lag issue out? I’m having the same issue with my C1. Apparently the game mode/ low latency is causing this but I don’t know how to remove the lag.

[@cypher4689]

Hey there, how do I pass the audio through on a Sony X90J TV? Played with the settings but no luck. It has 1 HDMI 120hz in & 1 HDMI eARC to my Yamaha atmos receiver A1050. Many thanks 🙏

[@chapstercan]

My set up is similar, but I get massive audio lag. Series x using HDMI 2.1 out to Samsung Q90 gaming port(4k 120) then using the eARC out port to a ARC only receiver (there is no ARC only port). The Samsung say I can turn of eARC and pass through signal, but ATMOS does not show. Also, when set up this way the XBOX Series X shows a message, my receiver isn't capable of decoding the bluray option of "let my receiver decode". I could use a work around for this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

[@chapstercan]

I have the exact same problem. Series X to Q90, Q90 to ARC only receiver. Unbearable audio lag, i have found two products i haven't tried yet. One is by "ThenAudio" the shARC. They claim is will seperate the audio and remove the lag. A much cheaper option, but I think may work, is the OREI eARC 4K 60Hz Audio Extractor. I have not tried either yet, but have the OREI on order.

[@yasirahmad3006]

I have a ps5 and yamaha Rxv6. Can i use the above method u showed to get 4k 120hz hdr n dolby atmos?

[@TmcezzyTv]

So my Sonos ARC whenever I use the 120hz 4K setting the sound will pop in and out? But when I switch back to 60hz it doesn’t? Any help would be appreciated!

[@BenSinz45s]

Thanks man. Question so when im on the hdmi for my xbox how can i see the marantz menu when i want to adjust the bass?

[@MikeBixby]

Hi. I dont have eARC on either my Sony STR DH590 or my Toshiba M550 Fire TV. I am used to run-in all devices (Xbox one X, PS4, etc) to AVR first then HDMI ARC to TV. Question: Will there be any improvement if I route the XBOX one X first to TV then ARC from TV to AVR? I suspect given my 4K 60Hz limitations across the board it wont make any difference...?? Thanks in advance for the reply

[@samuelweinstein9090]

Are you playing any games with atmos on SUrround Sound? I saw resident evil 2 supports it for series X. Bummer that ps5 is dev their own 3D spatial surround sound.

[@TechnoDad]

No. There is no way for Sony to deliver their 3D audio except from that one headset.

[@Amelek]

How do I know if any settings don’t work through my Marantz? I’ve recently hooked my new Xbox Series X, with my new SR8015 but all options are still green in Xbox video options. Does this mean it actually works for me? I haven’t really noticed any problems.

[@samgarcia4581]

Same here. I hooked up my new Marantz sr5015 and have no issues.

[@anthonyalvarado1635]

Super helpful video bro ann these manufacturers should feel shame . It shouldn't be this hard to get both things to work in tandem.

[@TechnoDad]

Right?!?! I’m glad you found my video!

[@guppy235a]

I followed these steps but had a delay of speech on the movie and went back to the optical cable. Thoughts?

[@adriangraf8432]

Does that work with an HDMI Sync Box from Philipps Hue? How would like the connections be then?

[@markredfern732]

Would this setup work fine if I have a Sky Box plugged into the my Denon 2400H or would I have to keep Changing the eArc settings on the LG CX10

[@TechnoDad]

I would connect everything to the AVR except for the Series X, that should go to the TV.

[@nucks4cup75]

One thing not to forget for any LG TV later than c9, b9, e9 series, is that 2020 and later TVs will not pass through DTS:X. 2019s and older with eARC are not affected here So for BluRays that are using DTS:X standard you will not want to use your gaming system for your videos, (which was also said in the video). Instead go back to a standard BluRay player connected to the AVR directly and then video out to TV. Basically you won't use HDMI 2.1 for BluRays, but you'll get all sound profiles your AVR supports, including DTS:X. Who wants 120hz with a BluRay anyways?

[@antariusb]

What would be a nice receiver to power the Klipsch Reference Theater 5.1 Surround Sound System Pack

[@TechnoDad]

Depending on your budget, I would for an older Denon x3600H, or the current model, the X3700H - amzn.to/3rSMM9O - this is the perfect AVR to grow into. You'll be able to upgrade to 9 speakers whenever you are ready, and if you wanted to add external power down the line, you can have all 11 channels running with a powerful front stage. If you have a lower budget, I can recommend something else.

[@Tapoutime79]

Help! I have a Bose 900 soundbar hooked up to my LG 48C10 Oled and my Series X. Dolby atmos sound. I get a random pop sound every once in a while while watching movies playing games are on KZbin while using my Series X. I have a PS5 and it's hooked up the same and I have no audio issues. If I use my TV apps for movies are KZbin no audio issues. What's going on? Thank's in Advance!

[@captainzappbrannagan]

If xbox sends uncompressed video and audio to the TV wouldn't it be less lag for the receiver to take that uncompressed audio passthrough via eARC vs ARC?

[@benditlikekeegan]

So with my TCL R635, an LG SN7Y, and my Series X, whenever the Xbox audio is on Dolby Atmos, there's a noticeable lag in the audio. This happens at my girlfriend's house with her shitty Element TV, a TCL Alto 9+ and the Series X, too. I also had this issue on my One X, and I'd read that a lot of other people were having this issue. If I plug the Series X into the soundbar's HDMI IN for passthrough, there's no more lag, but then I lose HDR and VRR. Any idea on the issue?

[@MC-jb9uf]

Thanks for the video C9 Yamaha v583 Xbox S.X The output on my AVR shows ATMOS/PCM. Is this correct? Thank You

[@TechnoDad]

Hi! I don't have a Yamaha, but as long as it says Atmos, I think you're good to go!

[@thomasfitzpatrick6042]

I have the Denon S760H, LG C1 and the Series X hooked up to a 7.1 atmos Klipsch system (the atmos klipsch are separate on top of the front speakers) anyway... the xbox audio settings has atmos or dts:x (HDMI) option but I wonder if running uncompressed 7.1 is better? If so can the AVR decode the audio from the xbox into DTS:X?

[@chaturanga]

Hi technodad The xbox now has a audio pass through option and I have lg sn11 soundbar. Should I use audio pass through on the xbox?

[@corruptedmodcmod7094]

Using a philips 4k tv with a yamaha RX-A7 30 with the series x and tried all possible con,nectings and it worked on last on an harman/kardon, but the xbox keep saying the tv dont support 4k, If any know what might be the issue, please let me know, thanks.
