also I note that you need HDCP 2.2 if you ever want to play commercial 4k
disks. Do you know if the Denon copes with this? I think a consequence of
HDCP 2.2 is that the sound can only be derived back from the TV, not tapped
off en route.

I spent most of an evening getting neighbours sky Q talking to sky
soundbar (single HDMI in, single HDMI out)

Only one tv port has HDCP so Q box will only send 4K content to that
one, only another tv port has ARC, chromecast ultra in another port (for
BT sport in 2K that apparently is only in SD on sky) audio from
chromecast into TV over HDMI, TV speakers on zero volume, out of TV on
S/PDIF into soundbar, select that with another remote ...

That's the good thing about standards ...
