What are 4K pass-through and 4K upscaling?

    The 4K pass-through feature allows data to pass through the system without compromising image quality, and　it is HDCP 2.2 compatible.

    The 4K upscaling feature allows low-resolution data to be upscaled to high resolution 4K signals.
    The AV receiver with the 4K upscaling feature lets you enjoy video signals input by HDMI as smoother video with depth.
