I have a new 976 driving a couple of outlaw amps. Inputs are a ps4 pro, sony HD blurray, and an apple tv 4k all going to hdmi... The ps4 and sony will only work on hdmi 5. Apple will work on any hdmi in....Preamp has been back to factory, speedy return and was told the hdmi inputs connectors were oxidized. Still same problem plus the pass through is intermittent, don't see a pattern...sometimes works most of the time it doesn't. Outlaws said it was the TV's problem...but does the same on 2 samsung tvs.. upgraded all hdmi cables per outlaw's advice...

so now I'm taking all the sources direct to tv and digital audio from tv to 976...works but seems like a waste and I'm unsure of the d/a quality in the samsung...any thoughts?
