Can anyone verify whether your AV receiver works with VRR? Let’s start a list!

Discussion

We have the list for TVs but not receivers - thought I’d get one started. All I know is my Yamaha Aventage RX-680 does NOT work with it.

Sony is using HDMI 2.1 VRR standard, so anything less than that is no go, such as yours RX-680, which is to my knowledge is HDMI 2.0.

But sadly, even if you have HDMI 2.1 AV receiver, not many support all HDMI features, including VRR, some require firmware update for it though. So, the list is probably very short.

Denon S960H works with VRR but only the supported games. Any unsupported games will mess up the tone mapping and VRR won't work. Seems to be getting weird handshake issues. I've resorted to plugging PS5 directly into LG C1 to have no issues.

Marantz sr7010. No, it's hdmi 2.0a so it can't do vrr. Honestly, i prefer running my ps5 through the receiver and foregoing vrr and 120hz because if i connect it to the tv then depend on arc for audio there's over 200ms of audio latency. Vrr for games that struggle to hit 60 hz is not that amazing. My pc runs a 3080 and i have a 240hz monitor and find the ps5 just too low frame rate to even care about vrr.

There's basically nothing for receivers that support vrr. The high end denon and marantz models support "hdmi 2.1" with their add on module but manufacturers aren't required to implement every hdmi 2.1 feature to get 2.1 certification. It's a gong show, and the manufacturers aren't transparent about it, leaving it to customers to buy expensive equipment and test it out themselves.

I just got one hooked up and did an update. The update v1.58 does support vrr. After the update, you need to manually turn on 8k support on the hdmi inputs in the settings. Also, only hdmi inputs 1- 3 have this option.
