MBP 2019 works ok connected direct to tv or to any rear hdmi ports of A/V receiver, Marantz NR-1509. But not with the front hdmi port of the receiver. Using same cable, front hdmi port works fine with other sources like PS4, Apple TV, or Xiaomi media player but just not with MBP.  Still scratching my head.

Picked up today - Then level-balanced with SVS PB12-NSD to complete 5.2 setup!

This is a good starting point and, honestly, should be more than enough for most home theatre systems. Steps: Subwoofer settings: Crossover at maximum point. Mostly this is 150dB or a marking that says LFE (disable). Phase at 0 degree. Gain at 11 or 12 o'clock. AV Receiver: MultEQ or equalizer settings at OFF. Again, OFF not flat or some mumbo jumbo setting. AV Receiver: Subwoofer level at 3dB. Make sure distance setting (eg 3m, 4.2m) is correct. This distance is between your sitting position and subwoofer location. AV Receiver: Subwoofer/LFE crossover setting at 120Hz. AV Receiver: Rest of the speakers set to SMALL. Crossover settings: Front speakers 90Hz, Centre speaker 120Hz, and surround speakers at 150Hz. That's it, you're good to go.

For Gran Turismo Sport, I bought a Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Racing Wheel with Next Level Racing Wheel Stand. However, after connecting all the stuff together, it was no dice. The wheel would turn clockwise for a tiny bit and then nothing. After spending a couple of hours, I discovered that all USB ports of our PS4 Pro are kaput, grrrrrr.... Luckily, it was a launch unit (Nov 10, 2016) so it's still under warranty. EBGames quickly replaced with a new unit and all is good now!
