Firestick 4k Max help - no dolby vision/HDR

Belloni · 11 Mar 2022 at 18:13

I have a Sony STR1060 with an LG B8 TV. The firestick is plugged into the HDCP 2.2 port on my amp. I can't seem to get Dolby Vision on Netflix to work through the firestick. The Netflix app on the TV itself plays Dolby Vision fine. When I go to the firestick settings, video resolution is up to 4k, Colour depth is up to 12 bits but if I do an audio and video diagnostics on the firestick it says HDR support: No and Dolby Vision: No.

I've tried changing HDMI 1 to HDMI Ultra HD Deep Colour on but when I do that, it switches my firestick to 1080p.

Any ideas?

What happens if you plug the Fire TV directly to the TV and try setting up and playing HDR and DV?

If I do that I then get HDR10/HLG and Dolby Vision. So I guess there's something wrong with my amp?

Thanks lucid and kitfit1. I'll have to look at upgrading the amp later this year then if it doesn't support it.

No success unfortunately, amp is fully up to date still no HDR. Will have to look at a replacement amp maybe towards the end of the year, thanks all for your help though.

What's wrong with just leaving it in the tv and using arc?

I can't fit the HDMI cable in the TV ARC and the firestick either side as they're too big.
