Gemeni Air and Yamaha AVR

Should I expect the Gemini Air to work with  a Yamaha AVR purchased 4 yrs ago? Before I go crazy playing with settings in the AVR I am hoping to know whether it can work.

Thanks

Interesting question, @krs225. We'd be happy to look into that for you. Could you please provide the model number of your Yamaha AVR?

I also tried a wireless HDMI transmitter from the ARC output from the TV to HDMI input on the AVR but does not work.

Hi there. Just an update. We can't guarantee compatibility with specific devices, but that said, functionality should still be there via HDMI ARC output. You would need to make sure to have an HDMI cable at the 1.4 standard or higher (They more than likely do since most labeled as high speed are 2.0 and higher) and the sound settings on the device are set to support pass-through (DCP, PCM uncompressed, etc., the setting you need will differ per the AVR, so you can tinker with it as needed) which can be found in the audio and video settings of the device. 

 

Gemini Air is compatible with ARC outputs; you'll just need to tweak the sound settings of both Air and the AV receiver to find which format works best. Jerald, DIRECTV Community Specialist
