Haven't tried out physical 4K movies yet on my PS5 or Xbox Series X until recently, thanks to a couple movies I snagged from a Best Buy steelbook sale (Sonic and Spider-Man FFH). I had played movies before on the Xbox One X with no problem, but this time I'm getting all sorts of errors.
When I'm playing the movie on the Xbox Series X, one of three things happen at random:
1. I get a "disc can't be played, make sure HDCP is turned on" message
2. I get sound but no picture
3. I get picture but sound going on/off.
Number 3 is also what happens when I'm trying to play the disc on the PS5. After some trial and error, I believe the culprit is my Home Theater receiver, as the movies will play fine while outputting the audio on my wireless headset.
That same receiver played movies fine previously, but that was with an optical audio port, which sadly the new consoles lack. I believe this is due to the ARC messing up, since the speaker icons on my receiver also go in and out in conjunction with the stuttering audio.
So I would like to know what my options are: can this be fixed with some settings, an adapter or HDMI cable replacement? Or am I going to need to invest in a more modern receiver that can handle ARC better? If that's the last and only option, what's the cheapest functional receiver I can get?
