Am I missing something here. I just run an optical cable from the TV to the processor. Works fine.
Isn't an UHD722 overkill for this. It's not like it's a lossless audio track from a Blu-ray where you HAVE to use a HD621 because of licensing issues.
How many devices actually support DTS-HD etc. beyond Blu-ray players?
I'm asking this out of genuine interest, not to start a war of words.
Thanks

I don't think you are missing anything here, but it's such an obvious feature to have that it will feel as if M have missed something if its not included.

Some of the new TVs are now supporting Dolby True HD and Atmos etc.
Obviously on the TV this is a bit overkill, but it means as the streaming services add these codecs you are now able to pass the lossless audio back to your receiver/processor/UHD722.
How would you get these into your Meridian processor if the Monitor out doesn't support ARC in?

My UHD722 is also ordered at AV-Emotions Switzerland. I'm looking forward to go to the projector with only one HDMI cable. So far, 4K is using a cable from the Oppo 203 and AppleTV-4K to the SONY beamer. and a second cable connects all the other sources of the HD621's.
A lot of money for an HDMI switch/splitter, but I assume it will work fine with the M-Comm's! The long wait has its price; -)

When I look at rear picture of the UHD722 in the UHD722 Data Sheet I can’t see any Comms like I have on my HD621. Does this mean that I will have start and turn off the UHD722 and 861 individually and not as I have today, handling both units from 861?

SpeakerLink has comms. Perhaps it will use that?

The SpeakerLink connection carries the comms.
For those without SpeakerLink equipment a custom cable should be all that’s required to hook it up.

Would the EMMHR connection carry Meridian comms so avoiding an incipient spaghetti-fest for those using it with the G65 or 861v8.

Unlike SpeakerLink there’s no Comms channel on the MMHR RJ45 port.

That seems a little clunky/remiss.
Also why are we calling it EMMHR now?
