Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion
Sadly, yes, you'll need to update that receiver. Supposedly, if there is an HDCP 2.2 device then all links, so to speak, in that chain need to be fully HDCP 2.2 to get 4K Ultra HD video with HDR, 60p fps, 4:4:4 color and other capabilities.
When I hooked up my Pro to the older receiver I no longer have, the display settings were not listed as full 4K in the video settings on the Pro (3840× 2160). I cannot remember exactly what the resolution was but it was slightly better than 1080p and HDR was disabled. I sort of flipped out after seeing this. As others have mentioned here, I also tried lowering the HDCP standard to 1.4 from 2.2 in the Pro "safe mode" settings hoping that would work and prevent me from having to buy a new receiver but no; didn't work. I'm assuming because the Sammy's HDMI outs are HDCP 2.2. At any rate, the only resolution was to buy a new 4K UHD HDCP 2.2 capable receiver.
In the end it was a PITA to have to upgrade all your components to the latest standards and wasn't easy on the bank account but if you appreciate your resolution, your eye candy, and need that oh so sweet, 7.2 surround sound shaking your couch, it's all worth it!
On another note, most likely your new receiver will be Dolby Atmos and DTS:X capable so here's to more "future proofing". lol
