Dual Subwoofer Outputs

Date: 26.05.2021 03:01:56 Name: Jim Sutton In out retirement village we have Marantz equipment in our Cinema. I have been trying to connect a Samsung S8 phone to the HDMI port under the lid of the AV8805 device without any success. The S8 will connect OK to our TV allowing both Screen Mirroring and Dex.
