After getting off to a rough start meaning I had to reset it after its initial long update and make sure I had downloaded the correct BETA software to pair with the ARC Genesis software I was good to go. I knew the critical error warning I was getting was irrelevant since doing test tones I was getting all of the speakers to react to their cadence correctly.
The a/m comments from the first para of the review further underscore my point that this so called critical error warning will pop up from time to time, even from a new unit like AVM90 and performing a factory reset. Just hit resume and 99% of the time, the calibration should resume as per normal.

Just saw the below post on avsforum with regards to Xbox X.
This is the point that i highlighted 2 weeks ago that new hardware will always have such potential handshake signal issue which new owners have to be well prepared and slowly have to adjust and troubleshoot with the right firmware in place to fix it.
Cheers.
- Might need check out some new gadgets connection stability via HDMI
(but i believe potential firmware will be in place)

I hope this is not related to the new HDMI 2.1 board.
Could be bro as i always believe new technology chipset as we know new launch product. Well it just need a good and stable firmware after feedback from the ground.
Seems to only affect the new AVM90.

Hi, what is the situation with the AVM70 and passing HDR 10 or HDR 10+ content through to the projector? All good?
cheers
Yes…all good. Not sure about AVM 90 with the new HDMI 2.1 board though.

So that one you bought with the HDMI 2.0 Bro?
I also see that the Arcam Av40 and Anthem AVM90 has similar HDMI boards, I hope they use the same OEM boards. So I do expect similar usability issues with Anthem AVM processors.
I currently own Arcam AV40 and that also have similar issues. I was thinking to upgrade to AVM90 but looking at the internal architecture, I will wait for some more time to see whether some of the issues that I had encountered with Arcam AV40 doesnt happen in AVM90. Will closely watch out this thread for any updates! Thanks for sharing!
Using AVM 70 here zero issues with your mentioned.
Cheers.

AVM 70 DAC - originally AK4490EQ, newer batch ES9038Q2M (Anthem social media post) or ES9010K2M (picture of internals from user)
AVM 90 DAC - originally AK4499EQ, replaced with ES9038PRO
What problems are you facing on your Arcam AV40?
Possibly because diy fans he threw in the arcam messes up the airflow and hdmi board just decided commit suicide?

Huh??? 
Oh yeah…
Yup. You read right. “Huh???” is an apt response.
HDMI handshake issues for 4k 60hz input. It works sometimes and sometimes doesn’t.

Lol, @kaydee6 you funny lah 
, I am using the DIY fans well before Anthem AVM 90 comes up with an idea. See AVM90 here, they have added similar fans like what I have implemented in Arcam AV40. Cause Arcam and Anthem has the same HDMI boards. Arcam hangs without the internal fans after 1 hr or so without Aircon. So Anthem would have found this issue during their QA and implemented this as a part of their new design lol.
After I add fans it runs day and night without hanging and perform like Power and recently I bought an Oppo 203 and I am facing this issue since I connected my Oppo to Arcam. But the Oppo 203 works fine directly with the Projector without any issues. My Nvidia Shield TV Pro was working fine with Arcam and now this was also causing the same issue. If I change the input signal to 4k 24hz then no flickering or handshake issue. Something fishy and sent for repair now. Looks like the error flag from Oppo 203 got transferred to Arcam. Not sure what exactly happened.
