Denon X4700H & LG C9: Upgrading a 2012 Home Theater to 4k OLED & Dolby Atmos Surround Sound - Part 8

2 years ago

This video series covers upgrading a 2012 era Home Theater system to the latest 4k OLED TV and Dolby Atmos Surround Sound.

Part 8 covers heat buildup in the cabinet and effectiveness of the PC fans I have setup to help remove that heat, verifying that we're getting Dolby Atmos from Disney+ movies that support it (like Star Wars), how the latest LG C9 firmware upgrade (4.80.03) affects how we configure the sound coming from the Samsung Blu-ray player, using Airplay2 to play music from an iPhone, and installing an upgraded subwoofer cable.

The 2012 home theater had a Sony 34" KD-34XBR970 high-definition TV, a Denon AVR-2807 7.1 receiver, and Onyko SKS-HT540 7.1 speakers.

The upgraded system consists of:
LG C9 4k OLED with four HDMI 2.1 ports
