Lastly, yes your receiver would need to be able to put through 4k output to your TV. Now, would you see much difference? Maybe, most TV's upconvert the signals to 4k using various software methods, so most content looks better than it would in its native form.

I would recommend you do it the other way around, activate CEC or ARC on both the TV and the receiver, connect your sources direct to your TV, connect your TV to your receiver via the ARC input/output. This should route your audio through the TV to the receiver, it will also turn on the receiver and control the volume via any remote in your system, but it will keep the video signal native to the source direct to the TV.



Clear as mud?
I have no idea what any of this means! I'll search on google. now I'm looking at the Vizio M70-D3 anyone have that TV?
