The Z9D predates HDMI 2.1 entirely: all four ports are HDMI 2.0b, and HDMI 2 and 3 add Sony's Enhanced Format toggle for full 4K@60Hz HDR. Turn Enhanced Format on in the menu before you blame a cable for missing HDR. HDMI 3 carries ARC — not eARC. Both sizes have the same inputs and both handle 3D content.
