Yo Fuzz, I'mma let you finish, but ^that link^ is full of bull####.
The main danger for the human eye exposed to blue light comes from the electromagnetic radiation in wavelength between 400 and 450nm. The eye can perceive photopic luminous flux while the blue light emits radiometric radiance.
Lolololol, that's a bunch of horse####. "Radiometric radiance" in the 400-450 nm wavelengths is luminance... The whole thing is just gobbledy#### bafflegab.

LOL, fair enough, poor article for an example! I do find it much less tiring on my eyes though. I presume that's mostly due to reflected light vs direct, but I'm not an optogoligist.

My receiver started to develop an issue recently where the audio won't work sometimes after I change the tv channel on the set top box. The video plays but there is no audio. If I change the channel again I get a pop from the speakers and audio returns. It seems to be starting to get more frequent. Anyone know what the issue is and whether it could be a cheap fix at a shop or even at home on my own? Or should I just start keeping an eye open for receiver sales to find a replacement?

I’m a bit of a minimalist so I opted to go with a Sonos setup and absolutely love it.

Could not agree more. I made the change to Sonos about 3 years ago and I would never go back to a regular system. No more hdmi handshake issues, no more dynamic range blackouts for 1-2 seconds, no more pops through speakers etc. And the biggest thing is I have stopped adjusting every single setting for every movie and on a daily basis to get the best sound.

Could it be a cable issue? Check for loose cables or damaged cables?
Did you try resetting the receiver to factor settings to see if it addresses the issue?
My Vizio soundbar is starting to do that for the back speakers. I was thinking to reset it to factory settings to see if it helps and if not, I might spend a few bucks on replacement wires before considering a replacement soundbar. Soundbars are just too convenient for family room TV scenarios where everyone else is playing with the remotes and occasionally screw up the settings.

I can try different HDMI cables to see if anything changes. I don't necessarily want to do a factory reset because I don't want to send a half day restoring everything afterwards.

I meant to give that a try just prior to spending a bunch of money on replacing the receiver.
I'd suggest checking both the input and output cables.

I have a Samsung soundbar connected to my Sony TV in the downstairs living room, and it seems like it's a 50/50 shot whether it will power on via the HDMI CEC connection when I turn the TV on, I end up having to dig out the Samsung remote to power it on manually a lot of the time. Is there any way to make the CEC power on more reliable?

Based on my experiences, HDMI CEC is an absolute gong show. Nowhere near as reliable as it should. Too many players trying to roll out their own version. I really wish it was standardized.

Ironically, I was updating the firmware on a Marantz receiver and now it won't display the menus on the TV. Strange, what's a good place to get a repair perhaps?

Have you tried running it through a different output to the TV? Perhaps after the update it defaults to only composite out or something, or only HDMI1.

Yeah, I tried some various monitors, cables and the all outputs even the old school component out. I'm kinda at the end of what I can figure out lol.

Hmm, let me try to play around with it again some more and see if I can get it to work. Thanks, appreciate it! I am not even sure where I might try to get it repaired or somebody else to mess around with it tbh if that doesn't work.
I was half tempted just to get the Denon AVR-S760H that's on sale at BB as it covers most of what I was thinking at what looks like a decent price (699). 4K120, VRR pass through - negating the need for earc I guess, 7.1 (only hiccup there not having the extra height atmos options but that almost automatically throws pricing into the next tier for things like 7.1.2/4).

Have you tried doing a factory reset? I recall that was a common solution to Denon receiver issues and Denon and Marantz now share common platforms.

I did but I still don't get any video output so it seems like I can't do much from here.

Ya I gave up trying to rely on it. Hooked the TV and soundbar into my Home Assistant server and setup an automation where it will turn on the soundbar as soon as it detects the TV is powered on. Seems goddamn ridiculous to have to rely on a home automation server to coordinate power to two entities that are directly wired together, but at least it works. In the old days when everything was controlled by IR remotes it was easy to setup a universal remote to control everything with no issues, but no now those are "obsolete" and we have to rely on a new standard that's ####tier in all respects

London Drugs has the LG G3 77 for 4k right now. The listing has open box but they apparently are all new. Stores have to get them from their warehouse so it'll be new.
