: Because it carries HDMI 1.4a technology, it cannot pass through 4K video signals or the heavy data required for modern gaming consoles (like the PS5 or Xbox Series X).

: This highly praised feature allows your connected HDMI devices (like cable boxes) to pass video and audio directly to your TV without needing to turn the actual receiver on.

While it lacks modern features like 4K HDR passthrough, Dolby Atmos, and built-in Wi-Fi, it remains a solid entry-level hub for older home theater setups, vintage gaming consoles, and standard Blu-ray watching. 📊 Performance & Specifications at a Glance Specification 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Power Output 95 Watts per channel (at 8 ohms) HDMI Ports 4 Inputs / 1 Output (Version 1.4a) Audio Codecs Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Pro Logic IIz Special Video Support 3D Pass-Through & Analog-to-HDMI 1080i upscaling 👍 The Good: Expert & Community Praise
