Can the HDMI Ports be upgraded to 2.0 via Firmware, or is this a HW limitation

No the actual chipsets for HDMI 2.0 are hardware and not software driven. I am also waiting on the AVR's to start shipping with the 2.0 spec chips; if you are going for 4k at the higher frame rates I suggest you wait. This AVR will still do the 4k at the lower frame rates and bit fields so if all you really care about is 1080p content and 4K at lower frame rates you should be good to go with this receiver for a few years. There isn't much 4k content even available yet but it should be coming soon when they announce what media (probably blu-ray) they can fit it on.

Try to go through your setup again to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't help, you'll need to find an authorized repair facility to send it in for repairs as I don't believe the HDMI ports are a user-replaceable item.

Jason, I have only used the HDMI ports. I am sorry I couldn't help you with your question...

It does not say anywhere on the package it's for 2.0 or 4k anywhere!! If you're from Belkin- then why do you not have it on the package!!! Is this old stuff?

It only works with Samsung TVs so I would assume no. I haven't tried with my new HDMI 2.0 denon but what I understand no.

1.3b might work depending on the bit/px of the original signal but is not officially supported. Check out wikipedia, they have a very nice graph showing what each version is certified to carry.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdmi#Version_comparison

Just Add Power do HDIP-2G products that send HDMI as IP packets. Spendy though.

I will have to check on that. I don't believe my tv has any widgets. Looks like the LAN port is just for firmware updates. Thanks for the reply.

Mine has two DVI-D ports and no HDMI ports. I suppose you could buy a cheep video card and install it if you really want HDMI.

Hmm... not a clue about firmware version. I actually returned the product because it did not solve the problem I was facing (HUGE lag on my PS2 Playstation when connected to new 52" AQUOS Sharp LCD Hi-Def TV). No solution found yet!

The one i have does not work in the setup i was hoping for. Didn't try it to see if it was 2.0 compatible, everything i have is 3.0.

I'm not sure you can, this seems to be the revised version. To my knowledge Amazon was threatened w/ a lawsuit from I'm not sure who but according to the reps at Elgato capture selling HDMI strippers as the action itself was illegal. I'm not sure if that somehow affects your situation but the ones I purchased also didn't work but for a few hrs.

For right now, on HDMI 4K is displayed at 30 HZ and that is a HDMI limitation. HDMI 2.0 fixes that and this set should be upgraded in firmware before 2014. Then it will be 60 HZ and then it's a video card question on how fast it can display 4K.

Great question. Best to wait until HDMI 2.0 is in these TVs (later this year). I was told by a salesman in HHGregg Samsung will be charging for the upgrade, not sure about Sony.

The 3 USB ports are not active at this time. A promise has been made, some time ago, that a future update will cure that. Many are doubtful they will ever be used. Recommend using the USB from any number of HDMI connected devices; and work around in that way.

Thanks for the workaround. I agree it stinks to have to do this, but so much functionality for the price I probably will live with it. Maybe if we complain (and pray) enough we'll get a firmware upgrade.
