Is this receiver HDCP 2.2 Compatable?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. It HDCP 2.2 is an anti-copying method that requires firmware on the sending and receiving end (i.e. Blu-Ray player and 4K screen) of devices such that non-HDCP 2.2 compliant cannot copy the newest 4K content. Receivers are generally pass through devices, but not necessarily, The RX-A820 has 4 HDMI outputs that may or may not be seen as a source by your screen. If you use the receiver as a source (which your NEW 4K screen may see it as), it will not pass through.  Google HDCP 2.2 to get more info. Basically, you're kinda jumping the gun on yet another encryption method for DMC meant for 4K screens. HDCP 2.2 is still being rolled out and won't be done for a year or more yet. Finally, there are at this point no plans to make devices upgradable to HDCP2.2 via Firmware. Don't let that stop you though. This is an excellent receiver and well worth it, will stay up to date for a few more years at least and is generally priced well, especially if on sale.
