Why is everyone saying to hook up your PS 4 Pro directly to your TV ? Can ' t you just hook all of your gadgets into your receiver and run one HDMI cable from receiver to TV and get everything in 7 . 1 surround sound that way ? Assuming of course your receiver is 4 K compliant with HDMI 2 . 0 and HDCP 2 . 2 or am I missing something obvious here ? I ask because I plan on upgrading to a ps 4 pro and Denon 920 very soon . <| sep |> I ' m going to chime in here from personal experience . Talk to him to find out his take is great advise that ' s already been given . See I had a player do the same thing and his reason was just to be an annoying and see how long people would put up with it . It started small but slowly escalated to disruptive behavior at the table during combat since they were sitting doing nothing . The reason I bring this up is the fact that you mentioned it happens with other DM ' s as well and that the RP they do participate in isn ' t actually on task . As others have said be sure to talk to them and see what they actually want from the game or if they are even interested in the game . In my case they were only there because they wanted to shoot the breeze like we did on other days but felt they needed to have a character or could not be present . Hence a character that never actually called upon to do anything .
