My understanding is that the BBC don't count a device as being compatible unless it supports both the 4K resolution and HLG HDR.

The V6 and 360 do, but only when connected to a device that supports the BT.2020 Wide Colour Gamut standard via HDMI. I believe that's the 'enhanced' option as mentioned in the Sony manual.

When the World Cup was in UHD back in 2018 it was some definite fun and games trying to get it working via the V6 on different makes and models of TV.

BT Sport UHD on Virgin TV isn't in UHD so only needs the SDR support to play. And I believe the iPlayer UHD demo will play in 4K SDR without the BT.2020 support for some reason, so isn't a great indicator that everything is set right.

What's the Denon AVR model?
Hi, really appreciate the guidance.

It’s the Denon X1600H
