So let me get this straight. All PS4 models will get a firmware upgrade to support HDR. So far so good. But if you're running the PS4 to a receiver, should that receiver be HDR compatible? Does a new receiver that supports HDR need to be bought so the signal isn't loss when going to the tv?

It depends on what kinda magic Sony has up their sleeve. HDR is part of hdmi 2.0a spec, which a hdmi 1.4 receiver won't accept. Hence early 4k UHD players have 2 hdmi out ports, one for sound and one for video. Did they say whether the ps4 pro will have an optical port for sound? Not ideal but having to buy a new amp isn't either.
