Decided to look at the manual today for the receiver. Cause makes no sense, to have those inputs, and be required to use the same kind of cable for the output. As the receiver does 4k.
Well, you have to plug the HDMI to TV, in a different port. If you want to use ARC as well, you’ll be using two HDMI ports on the TV.
Going to try it soon though. That’s just what the manual says. And if it has to be in a 4k HDMI port, then I basically need a converter of some kind.
Too many opinions, that I want to see what it looks like before I buy it. And then I’ll just buy what I want and think will be good enough for me. All those people with opinions, aren’t going to be looking at my TV after all. Some say you need to mod the original Nintendo 64 to get the best or acceptable image on modern TVs. Hmm, well, if that’s the case, I need a CRT or a old projector. Also, that’s their opinion. Some say S-VIDEO is better. But for everybody? Probably not. Some are using a cheapo cable with HDMI, and somebody says they researched, and therefore didn’t try anything cheap. Might do something funky. But does it affect all TVs? Do all people care? The person even that posted about the cheapo thing that works fine for them in response to the researcher, said it’s good enough for them. And they bought it, tried it, and guess what? It’s good enough for them.
So if you just want to spend a ton of money, then go ahead.
Also, I think I can change the “passthrough” device to a non 4k port. Meaning, I may have to buy nothing. Got to see what it looks like first. And if what I buy sucks, depending on how much it is, well, I’ll just live with it. Cause if I decide to spend $80 or so, and it doesn’t do much, I’ll either send it back, or keep it. Doesn’t mean I’ll buy anything else either, especially not anything that costs more.
Well, I guess that’s what the passthrough setting is for.
Looks like the passthrough setting doesn’t do anything. Good luck getting video from a Nintendo 64 with this receiver on the TV.
Instead, I just plugged it into the TV, cause I noticed it has the right inputs, and got a video.
