I never heard back from Pioneer, but this is really confusing if the manual says HDMI 2.1 and the product really is 2.0b.
What proof do you have that the latest Pioneer receivers are 2.0b instead of HDMI 2.1?

So look at the
USA SC-LX904 user manual and it has this:
PG77
Quote:
Connect this unit between a TV and AV component. Connecting this unit with the TV can output the video and audio signals of the AV component to the TV, or play the audio of the TV on this unit. Connection with the TV differs depending on whether the TV supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function or eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) function. The ARC function and eARC function transmit the audio signals of the TV via an HDMI cable, and plays the audio of the TV on this unit. To check if the TV supports the ARC function and eARC function, refer to the instruction manual of the TV, etc.
• The eARC function is a newly added function for HDMI 2.1.

The eARC function is a newly added function for HDMI 2.1. This is an expanded function from the existing ARC function, and is able to send audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio that cannot be sent with the ARC function, from an eARC-compatible TV to this unit.

That doesn't say they are using HDMI 2.1 ports only that the SC-LX904 AVR can do a HDMI 2.1 feature which we all know doesn't require HDMI 2.1 ports.
Some people on AVS don't know how to interpret documentation it seems. There has been older AVR's supporting eARC for awhile hasn't it? A HDMI.org requirement requires them to document this now, even if the ports aren't the latest I think.
Note the
AU user manual for the SC-LX904 had the same text also as the USA doc.
