Q: QuestionI was wondering if you can turn off the 5.1 when supplying sound to extra channels, say outside on patio?I dont want sound in TV room 5.1 and sound on patio 2.1 at same time. Thanks DSK

Asked 9 years ago by OutdoorGuy.

• A:Answer You should be able to do that by selecting the zones. The 2 outdoor speakers should be configured to, say, zone 2. Selecting zone 2 on the receiver should only output to that zone. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of having zones in the first place. Hope this helps :)

Q: QuestionI do not believe this receiver has hdmi upconversion. Is this necessary to watch 4k movies from a 4k blu ray player? I also would like to know if a blu ray 1080p movie would be upconverted to 4k on a 4k tv.

Asked 8 years ago by melvin.

• A:Answer Per the manufacturer this receiver is 4K pass through, not upscaling. Yes you must use a 4K blu ray to watch 4K movies, however, usually included with the 4K movie is a standard 1080p version. A 4K blu ray will play 1080p movies. Usually, only the high end 4K tvs have upscaling, most 4K tvs don't have upscaling. Plus, the difference in picture quality from a 1080p movie to a 1080p movie upscaled to 4K is not that much difference.

Q: Questiondo Yamaha have a receiver that plays the sub in stereo mode .I purchased a denon s720w in it want play the sub in stereo mode it only plays the front 2 speakers and I was gone bring the denon s720w back to purchase a receiver that will play the sub in ste

Asked 8 years ago by greg.

• A:Answer Easy! If your subwoofer has discreet left and right inputs, simply hook up speaker wire from the receiver (front left and right) to the subwoofer and then out to the actual front left and right speakers themselves. This way only the signal from the front two speakers will be amplified via your subwoofer. You can also do this with the rear channels if you have another subwoofer. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionIs this receiver hdr ready?

Asked 8 years ago by melvin.

• A:Answer There is a difference between 4K and HDR. The older 4K tvs and receivers cannot support HDR. Per the manufacturer: 4K Ultra HD pass-through with HDCP 2.2 support with High dynamic range (HDR) and BT.2020 compatibility. When purchasing anything 4K, verify these 3 items are supported HDCP 2.2, HDR and HDMI 2.0a or 2.1 In addition, only the high end receivers and tvs support upscaling of 1080P to 4K, most receivers and tvs are pass through 4k.
