Part 10e covers:
1) Using a Harmony Elite Hub IR blaster to reliably control the Xbox Series X in a closed cabinet.
2) Comparing a scene from "The Force Awakens" from a 4K UHD Blu-ray disc using the Xbox Series X Blu-ray app output HDR10 vs. streaming the same scene in DolbyVision using the Disney+ app on the LG TV.

6) Summary and wrap-up of the integration of the Xbox Series X into our Home Theater System.

My 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:
