Thank you bro, already pmed you.

that is a shame for minix... becos high chance a higher end device user will want hd audio n not just hd video. anywy, good for q16 then!
u can use composite video and l/r audio for old crt's, select right settings.

the thing is that is quite a waste - q16 can deliver hd video n audio, i.e. 1080p/4k to tv and dtshdma/ddtruehd to avr.

the 4K capability of the q16 only comes in only if u play 4k video. n i think there arent many now, so unlikely u want 4k output to tv all the time.

i havent tried bu i wud think if u do play 4k, input to the avr will just be downgraded to max the avr can handle. so, may be a little lower in quality. note also when we say 4k, it also largely depends on yr source - is it really 4k or just labelled 4k?!

if u go q16->tv, you will b assured of 4k video whenever u play it but... u give up on hd audio since the hdmi is not going into avr. you can only get core dts/dd with q16->avr via toslink or coaxial.

best to try both and see which setup comes out better for yr eyes n ears.

unless u have lots of 4k video to playbac and don't care much about hd audio, i suspect u will be happier with q16->avr->uhdtv.
