This video uses the Denon AVR-X4700H receiver to test the Zeskit 8K HDMI Ultra HD High Speed 48Gbps Cable. The procedure should work for any of the 2020 Denon receivers which support HDMI 2.1. It uses information from this older Denon service manual: Denon Receiver HDMI cable testing manual http://www.theaav.com/uploads/2/6/0/1/26016310/denon_hdmi_diagnostics_and_troubleshooting_eng_im_v00.pdf But for 2020 receivers you need do two things differently: 1) Hook up the HDMI cable between HDMI7 (8k) and the Monitor1 (eARC) HDMI ports on the back of the receiver. 2) Press the [Back] and [Up Cursor] buttons on the front panel to enter HDMI Diagnostics Mode.
