HDMI 1.4a? Will the VSX-1020-K handle the new broadcast TV formats introduced with HDMI 1.4a? If not, will there be a firmware update for this, and can we do firmware updates over the internet?

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI): High Speed HDMI 1.3 cables can support all HDMI 1.4 features except for the HDMI Ethernet Channel.

nice... i was worried... do u have the ps3 goin thru ps3 hdmi then out to tv? and the 3d is working flawless 3d gaming and 3d movies? Thanks

This may be a really stupid question, but can an HDMI 1.3 fit into an HDMI 1.4 slot? Will this work with a TV and or blu-ray player that uses 1.3 HDMI.

Go to MonoCable.com and read the detail on 1.4v. They explain the difference between them well. You'll also find great cable at a very good price. I have this receiver hooked up to a Samsung 7000 60" TV and a bluray player that are both 3D. With the 1.4a it works like a champ!http://www.monoprice.com/

My vsx-1020 does work for broadcast 3D (which requires HDMI 1.4a) with my DirecTV HR24 satellite receiver. It also works for 3D games on my Sony PS3 game console.

I have this receiver - and although it says 1.4 on documentation and a sticker on front - I don't think it is. It will not support the Samsung 3D player & connected TV.

I checked Vizio's website. Here is the link to the latest firmware update for the VM230XVT:http://www.vizio.com/vm230xvt.html#supportGood Luck!

I did not find a resolution, unfortunately. I couldn't even definitively find out what the problem was - only speculation. My best guess from online research was HDCP compatibility. But if your 8500 doesn't work and my 9800 did (which neither should even support HDCP), then I guess that theory is out the window.Not long after my original post, I sent the tv back and got the Samsung LN-T3253H. No problems out of it.I know that doesn't really help, but that was my only real solution to the problem.

No, There are currently no Sony recievers on the market that support HDCP 2.2. There is an Onkyo, but even it only has 1 port dedicated to it. The STR-ZA1000ES will support HDCP 2.2 but it is not available yet. Luckly right now there isn't very much content that supports HDCP 2.2. but it will become a problem later if you trying to future proof your system. They will be able to update the HDMI firmware but the hdcp is not backwards compatible due that the current hardware was not designed for it yet. Honestly, I would wait. They starting to roll out HDCP 2.2 Receivers soon, beats worrying about it later. Hope that helps.

I don't know what HDMI it is but I really doubt it's 1.3 because it seems Samsung is realeasing three HDMI 1.3 models in March 2007. The new model coming out soon "LN-T4665F" I believe is HDMI 1.3. You may want to wait and check out that one. Thanks for asking this question it made me look into the HDMI 1.3 model.

Well, i own a panasonic blu-ray (3D) Tech specs here http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMP-BDT220?t=specs, and a Smart Samsung Tv 3D, and i have never had problems. Im not sure if any of my devices delivers 1.4 hdmi, but the cable is working just fine.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

Is this TV capable of "24p"? I'm not sure what that is, but it supposedly improves the picture quality, so, and Panasonic just introduced this kick-ass BD player, which I would sooo consider buying after I get a new TV, since my 3-year old LCD (Dynex) totally stopped working about a month ago...(I'm using my gramma's 14" DTV for now, would upgrade yesterday, but I'll be w/o the necessary cash probably for another 8+ months...). Thanks.

1.3b might work depending on the bit/px of the original signal but is not officially supported. Check out wikipedia, they have a very nice graph showing what each version is certified to carry.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdmi#Version_comparison

Hmm... not a clue about firmware version. I actually returned the product because it did not solve the problem I was facing (HUGE lag on my PS2 Playstation when connected to new 52" AQUOS Sharp LCD Hi-Def TV). No solution found yet!

Yes, according to customer support they will have an upgrade kit for all generation one 4k tv (2012 or later) which will be available by September 2014. The upgraded board will support current HVEC/HDMI 2.0 standards. No word on the pricing.

It's functioning on my set. EDIT: APPARENTLY there are a few different firmware versions on these sets...mine is E550i-b2V 1.16.47.0758. Some sets have E550i-b2 V 1.25.24.0234. My opinion is that this is causing a lot of problems in the tv enthusiast community. It's possible that Amazon Instant Video is NOT working on both firmware versions, as some are still reporting it isn't functioning. Vizio is NOT offering a firmware update at this time, so as far as I know, you are stuck with what firmware version you get....for the time being.

2013 models do not have the required codec for 4K streaming. Firmware update, in the future (???), to rectify this problem, or is this Sharp 4K model ALREADY obsolete???

Yes. I've been watching MKV format for a while. Make sure you got the most update firmware.

According to the Pioneer website the output is actual slightly higher in the 1021. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Pioneer+Receivers/VSX-1020-K http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Pioneer+Receivers/VSX-1021-K

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