I assume the HDMI cable that can with the PS5 Pro is a 2.1. I have the regular PS5 hooked up with a Best Buy 2.1 cable so I can use that if not.

I have an LG C1 and the three HDMI ports are slightly different, like I think port 1 is better with a 2.1 cord? So I keep the main system plugged into that port.

Sounds right. The manual will usually have that mapped out too.

I dunno if your budget would allow for buying a receiver, but I just bought a new Denon 5.1 receiver. Does 4k/120hz and HDR pass through. May have to unplug and replug some HDMI on initial setup to get the HDR to “recognize.”

Definitely not a cost effective solution and I feel like surround sound isn’t as big a deal to people nowadays with improved sound bar and/or headphones but I like it a lot. I’ve had zero luck selling my old 5.1. It could do 4k and HDR but didn’t pass through 120HZ at all without downgrading it to 60HZ. It’s about 6 years old though.

I will note that I picked this up on some sale they were running so I didn’t pay $750. I think it was only 600 or 650. Like that makes much difference.

I ended up going this route but I bought the Onkyo rz30. They go on sale regularly for $750. It did take some tweaking to get 120 passed through to the Xbox series x, but that’s about it.

Going from a sound bar to real speakers is pretty nice. I’ve spent the last year buying klippisch to series speakers on sale. Definitely not something to do on a small budget, but the sound is great.

I’ve just got a set of Harmon Kardon 5.1 on mine. I think that one I got is technically 7.1 and I’ll do that eventually but my speakers were pricey and still really good. Guess I could buy another satellite set. I also have an awkward geometry I’m working in which would probably mean some drywall to make it look good. Right now I have hidden cable guides.

I looked at the Onkyo too. I used an Onkyo for a long time before 4k etc showed up.
