Mi phone no source direct button.  What you can do turn off all Sound effects.  Display setting use Light Mode.  Refresh rate 60hz . turn off AI image engine.  color scheme > Advanced setting > Original (Color Gamut)
you aslo can adjust R,G,B for fine-tune  .
*
Mine was different, no AI image engine.
Color scheme I always set Automatic > Warm, I remember read about gsmarena test this mode gets something average DeltaE 2.4, default one is bluish
Don't have original selection also

X3800h available already but 8k++ huhuhu

Still contemplating it. The new owner for Denon really significantly drove up the prices for increased margins zzzzz

Already on Facebook denon group somebody making noise of the poor test result from popular "scientist" due to change of DAC in 800 series...

Diehard will find way to import, example purchase from Amazon UK or eBay UK once available... but no warranty as sending back is not feasible due to expensive courier charges...

whats the pros of STR over RX models that you have stated?

I think it's a Sony thing bro, sentimental feeling because major household with AVR used Sony (budget compare to those THX certified Denon, Pioneer etc) during 1990s - 2000s.

It's unfortunate because previously Sony tried to dabble in Hi-Fi and home theater (~2016), no one cared enough to look at their products. They did bring in a few units of the DN1060 and DN1070, but sales for them were next to zero.

Everyone only knew how to look at a soundbar due to the fear of "too many cables, hassle to setup" mentality. Even their surprisingly well performing speakers - which I still think is best bang for the buck speakers today; the SS CS series didn't sell enough for Sony to bring in their higher end stuff.

A pair of SSCS5 bookshelves and a Sony DN1060 AVR back then was only RM3k, which is the same price as their flagship soundbar at the time (forgot the dumb model name), but the bookshelves performed in a whole different league. Yet people went for the soundbar because it has more "features" and more "speakers" lol. rolleyes.gif

Gone are the years AVR + Bookshelf Speaker RM3k, nowadays ok AVR alone already exceeded RM4k

If I wait for this year's KLIAV show would there be any chance of a change? (e.g. someone becoming a distributor of these AVRs)

I know I am grasping at straws here...
*
I went last year, I would say impossible to see Sony AVR, Sony TV and soundbar yes.
Popular brand here still Denon, Marantz, Yamaha and last year Onkyo made a come back.
