AOsti2, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.

In order for us to provide the most accurate assistance, we just wanted to confirm a few details about your system:

What is the model of the Intel® NUC?

Could you please provide a detailed description of how you are connecting the Intel® NUC, the Receiver and the TV? Please specify which ports and cables are being used and if you are using adapters or converters.

Which Windows* version are you using?

Any questions, please let me know.

Regards,

Dear Albert,

My past configuration was my Nuc8i3 to a fullhd Denon AV Receiver and from the denon to a fullhd monitor. So nuc8 send to the denon for home theater and the denon send the video to the TV. Now i buy a new tv a samsung qled 4k and i can't use denon receiver becouse is only HD . what I want is use nuc8 with hdmi to my new tv and use Thunderbold 3 port with a tb3 to hdmi to my denon for home theater. Is it possible?

Hi AOsti2, Thank you very much for clarifying that information.

In reference to your question, for this specific configuration, we as Intel® cannot guarantee that connecting those 3 devices will work as you are expecting. Due to the fact that the configuration includes an AV receiver and a "TB3 to HDMI" adapter, when you use those types of products we cannot confirm the proper functioning of all of them working together. We do recommend to use a straight HDMI cable connection for all the parts to avoid a possible sound distortion.

In the link below you will find further details about using adapters and receivers:

So, in this case, what we recommend to do next is to get in contact directly with the manufacturer of the Denon AV Receiver to verify and confirm if the configuration you are trying to set will work properly if they have reports about this scenario of if they might have the option to test it and let you know for sure if it is going to work correctly:
