What is the turnaround time for this upgrade?

Asked by: Art90notch

Hello, If you live in continental USA, once the Service Center receives your AVR with the HDMI board, you would be looking at about 4-6 weeks.

Is there a difference between the avr-x8500h with the upgrade board and the avr-x8500ha? I currently own the H, and would like to know if it would be better to upgrade my existing unit or upgrade to the HA. Thank you.

Asked by: Reddog

Hello, The upgrade board allows for your AVR-X8500H to be HDCP 2.3 compliant, and also offers a 4K/120Hz (8K) HDMI input and 2x 8K Monitor outputs, one of which handles an eARC feed from a TV. Unfortunately, availability for the upgrade board for the AVR-X8500H is currently inconclusive.

I will like to know if upgrading from 4k to 8k it will also improve the sound quality on the system because I check some of your reviews people talking about the improvement they experience their upgrade or that's just pure imagination?

Asked by: Murano

Hi Murano, 4k and 8K refer only to a video specification (eg. 8K native resolution is 7680 x 4320 pixels, which equates to 33,177,600 total pixels). Neither are related to audio specifications in any way. That's not to say upgrading form a 4K receiver to an 8K won't yield any sonic reward. Some 8k receivers could well feature audio advancements over a 4K compatible AVR (this is usually down to the AVR being newer or higher-end), but it won't have anything to do with the video specification necessarily.
