We don't really need the wizbang ultramodern ATMOS system capability but it's good to have it in case. Our speakers are a 5.1 setup and will do for now but SWMBO has other ideas. The TV will follow.
I'm keen to avoid incompatibility issues and it seems to me that Denon users have no issues with the U4. Yamaha is not on my shopping list because I have owned two Yamaha's that failed. After the last failure, I bought a cheap Sherwood unit that gets by but has little to recommend it.
What is really driving me is:
- We have six HDMI video sources I need to switch between, which are currently split between a four-port switch and the TV HDMI inputs. The 2400H has 8 inputs and 2 outputs.
- Lipsync is an issue with Foxtel for us a fair bit of the time. Errors are commonly greater than the 200ms that the Foxtel IQ2 can correct. The Denon can handle up to 500 ms manual delay according to the manual I downloaded.
Do users have any comments on their experience they care to share or indeed, other options I should consider? Cost is not a major factor so anything under $1500 will be considered.
