Beta version v6.4(7).42 for Z9X/Z10 Pro/Z1000 Pro/UHD3000/NEO S/NEO X/NEO Alpha release

I had the same problem and it was gone after rest of the zidoo

 

VS10 for DV and Auto are functionally the same. If VS10 for DV fixes it, just use that until you feel like resetting the Zidoo. I also suspect the issue is the Zidoo/Yamaha, not the TV.

 

HDMI audio extractor will do

 

It appears your Yamaha is an older model without DV passthrough.
The UHD3000 has the two HDMI outputs and would most likely solve your issue (as does the more expensive Neo Alpha model).

I use an AVRKey (which is no longer being sold) and it works perfectly fine with my non-4K Yamaha AVR. You just need something similar to correctly split the HDMI signal to TV and AVR.

 

Incorrect! Only Neo Alpha has dual HDMI ports (but also used for DSD output then).

 

Yes exactly, the problem could also be the Zidoo with the Yamaha but how do you know?
I restored the Zidoo saving the HT4 data (by the way, fabulous, it restored everything perfectly as before without having to do anything) but the problem remained ..... Do you say that I can safely use VS10 for DV? If so that's fine because the thing I don't want to give up is HD audio even at the cost of giving up DV for HDR10........ I saw that the Neo Alpha has an audio-only hdmi output, it would be right for me but it's completely out of my budget.....

 

Did you solve the problem by resetting the Zidoo? I reset it but the problem remained....

 

What would?

 

Yes for me it worked. But I think it's the problem of the hdmi bord of the Yamaha

Check it the Yamaha is on the latest software.
Wen it still wil not work buy a hd fury to split the video and audio

 

I may be mistaken, (and have great respect for your advice) but all the photos of UHD3000 and Neo models show a video HDMI output and separate audio only HDMI port (same as most 4K disk players)?

Therefore if someone has an older non-4K/DV AVR, one of these models would work to bypass the strict HDMI restrictions of only passing 1080p video?
I had considered one of these for myself but could not justify the extra cost, compared to buying the Z1000 Pro and using my AVRKey.

 

Errr.... my UHD3000 definitely has two HDMI outputs because I'm using both of them.

 

Sorry but I don't understand what is this fury to separate audio and video, can you give an example please?

 

In some cases here, Google is indeed your friend.... to do a little research. Along with the response you got further up regarding using an HDMI audio extractor... both that and an HD Fury would probably help out with with the problem you have been describing... and provide a way to run audio only to your receiver and video only to your display if so needed.

 

As you have discovered, the HDMI "copy protection" standards can stop an older AVR without the appropriate 4K "passthrough" circuits from sending 4k video at the same time as lossless audio via HDMI.
It only allows 1080p video and lossless audio OR 4K video with optical audio (restricted to DTS, Dolby Digital, mpeg etc).
Some AVRs with older 4K hardware and software, were still unable to process the higher demands of Dolby Vision. As your 5 year old CX-A5100 does have 4K UHD passthrough, this may be your issue and why checking for updated firmware was suggested above (are you on Ver 2.86?).

To get both 4K with Dolby Vision/HDR AND lossless DTS-HD MA or TrueHD via HDMI requires an AVR to meet these standards. The alternative is an HDMI splitter (such as HD Fury/AVRKey) to provide two HDMI outputs, one of which is a 1080p lossless audio signal to the non-compliant AVR).

 

provide with splitting hdmi to tv and receiver

For sure the X20, X20 Pro and UHD3000 models all have Dual HDMI too.
Sorry for the apparently misleading reply. The incorrect was meant for the Neo models specifically. Sorry for the fuzz.

Yes splitters can work and be used as alternative but be sure about passing 4K with HDR in all modes which can be problematic on teh Video Port.

 

I got this here, hope it solves my problems

I for one would be interested if it works - please feedback in due course

 

I finally had time to switch fron online to local Trailers again.
I downloaded the trailers with TinyMediaMeanager ( i noticed they were having IMDB trailer problems also).
These trailer workj just a few seconds for me.
So after the download...in file explorer I sorted them out on *-trailer.* and dropped them all in to StaxRip and recoded them in MKV 1080p.
StaxRip allows them to be written in the original directory even if they are all different directories. ( i used time and date to delete the older trailers)

Local MKV trailers work lovely now.

 

Just finished trying this hdmi switch, everything works great except for one thing, it doesn't pass dts-hd audio, it just goes dts normal at 1536, everything else i tried, dolby vision, true-hd, hdr-10 etc...it works perfectly, I don't understand why the dts-hd doesn't pass, I inverted the hdmi cables, I changed them, I tried them all but the dts-hd doesn't work.......
Can you recommend a switch (possibly on Amazon) that is sure everything works?
Thank you
