Is this receiver HDMI 2.0 compatible/upgradable? An even better question is: which receivers are?

No. From looking at the STR-DG920 documentation (downloaded from the support section of www.sonystyle.com), the receiver upconverts everything to HDMI and also upconverts composite video sources to component, but HDMI sources are *not* downconverted to component or composite. (I've yet to see any A/V receivers that downconvert from HDMI to component.)

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

I am not sure what HDMI 2.0 is, but the AVR-1610 does have 5 HDMI inputs that all support 3D and 30/36 bit Deep Color that deliver high definition audio and picture up to 1080p. One of the 5 HDMI inputs is also MHL rated to support a Roku or other streaming media dongle / stick.

I do not know. But i had repeated thing such as hdmi out go out on this receiver. Luckily it was under warranty, but after the 3rd time sending it in onkyo sent me a newer model. I would not recommend this product.

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

I haven't had a single HDMI issue yet and I've had mine for over a month now. I have a Sony bluray player, a PS4, a Roku 3 and an Amazon Fire TV hooked up to the receiver. The receiver is awesome, I love it. I usually go with Onkyo receivers, but wanted to give this one a try and I'm glad that I did.

Well the ? I have is do you have a hdmi ready cable box ? If so you have the hdmi cable go from the cable box to the hdmi "out" on the receiver and then you will need another hdmi cable to come from the hdmi IN 3 (cab/sat) and plug that into the back of the tv. It is all done with hdmi cables. This is also the only way to get the set up menu to be viewed on your tv also. This is a great receiver so I hope it works out for you. I have had it for a week and it is so much better then my last 2 onkyo's !

Not at this time, it has HDMI 1.4. Who knows if HDMI 2.0 will be available via firmware update

It's not a receiver. It only duplicates whatever hdmi signal goes in to it.

John - I hope I am not bothersome in my quest for accurate and intelligent information, if so, please tell me you have had enough. Otherwise, I have read a lot of posts and reviews regaridng 1.3 and 1.3a HDMI cables. I also remember you advised not to go with cheap cables which I agree with despite many saying they cannot notice a difference. My receiver is hdmi 1.3 and I know the PS3 is as well. I read that you should make sure that the HDMI cable is certified as a 1.3 and have read that all HDMIs support 1.3 (which I am not sure I believe). What is the truth and what cable do you recommend that is certified as 1.3? Also, does it matter if the cable is 1.3 or 1.3a?

You need to upgrade to a A/V receiver that has HDMI. You don't need to buy a really expensive receiver either. You can purchase an Onkyo 605 for $400.

That I don't know. I don't believe so. You can find the manual online if you google it. It should be in there. Let me say though that I have had and continue to have major problems with mine. I have to reset it constantly because I lose audio for some reason. Then I have to go through the setup process all over. Also have problems with the hdmi connections. Wouldn't recommend this receiver to anyone.

lol..... Battle: you are under 30 right? Paul is probably a baby boomer like me. "Receiver" is a synonym for TV- in this context, he means your Samsung LCD. You can connect your DVD to your LCD via the 2nd HDMI with no prob. I can't answer the 1.0 vs. 1.1 question though- I definitely recommend you get it clarified before you buy the XA2.

Thanks for telling me about the 3d blu ray player with 2 hdmi outputs. Good news I will be able to put more money for a 3dtv and not need to upgrade the receiver. I love my 876.

Yes. This is a great receiver but be advised this model was in the 450$ range when I purchased it. I believe this one is discontinued so a current compatible model might be cheaper.
