No no no - that’ll be the prequel !!

I know ! It’s so exciting ! . It’s like a Netflix series you watch which is a bit shit ( most of them ) but you’ve put time and effort into viewing each episode so you feel obliged to get to the spectacular cliff hanger final episode! . Maybe there will be a season 2 ? 🤔

What a faff ! . There I was sound system ; hdmi plugged in and … Go ! - like (expletive deleted) !

So I’m going to try all new hdmi certified cables first . if that fails - stick the vertex2 in All bought from Amazon so all returnable

Yeah I found the options . They were already on 2.3

Just dropped signal ffs ! vertex2 here I come !

Well ! I think I’ve watched a certain scene in rebel moon now over a 100 times !

HDMI bypass on denon as suggested by richer sounds ; (expletive deleted)ing ChatGPT didn’t think of that ! . Testing ….

You know I think it’s less . Whilst damp and I could see a droplet - not enough has come through to drip to the floor ! So wil ct1 that bit now !

So I can fiddle with a wide variety of audio options !

Guess what whilst fiddling made it blackout on signal loss . Also great fun swapping from hdmi 2 to view and 1 just so I can see the denon overlays !!! 🫤

Decided to do Appletv straight into projector . Switch 2 and ps5 still into denon ( not tested either of those yet ) . Time to put a movie on 😊 🍿🥤

I notice now these tiny gaps . Will ct1 them once a bit drier

Ok - it still leaks

The results are …. Inconclusive! Still damp inside from yesterday- but no obvious drip . Will leave now and check every 30 mins …

On test < suspenseful music >

That all sounds good too me . In the same room I have a pair of Dali Oberon c’s for music listening - so projector on for tv and gaming .

I thought it was strange that everything according to the instructions plugs into the denon and that outputs to the projector . I assumed the denon acts as just an amp - not sure what image processing it does if any . Appletv , ps5 can upscale etc themselves . I have read that a vertex2 ( £400 ! ) can sort dodgy handshake from any avc to the screen / projector.

Yeah you need a new tv ! You know that … and speakers …. Your SWMBO said it was ok to spend the £££££

Hdcp effectively copy protection . What am I checking where ?

Once new hdmi’s are in if I still have issues then that was my plan . So all devices into projector then projector earc to denon - worth a shot

I won’t get use to it . All new kit shouldn’t happen 🫤

Yeah this kind of issue is surprisingly common . Genuinely changing the hdmi leads to certified ones ( not just ones that say 2.1 ) solves it a good few times . But as I’ve spent a chunk of cash here I do expect the picture to be maintained for the length of the movie .

Hmmmmmm ok issues ! Previously had a Samsung q990c soundbar , Apple TV , ps5 etc plugged directly into Awol 3500pro projector ( soundbar on earc connection ) no issues . Now we get a fairly frequent loss of signal with everything going through the denon … Google suggests turning off cec on everything so we are back to juggling remotes . Improves the situation . But still does it . We are talking mid streaming so no hdmi negotiation on different content format . Google tells me get new certified hdmi leads . I’ll do that But I’m somewhat unconvinced that the issue is hdmi handshake when I’ve had countless items connected with frankly any old hdmi lead I have around working flawlessly . Google then tells me this issue is common amongst AVC’s - not just denon … wtf !
