My old HT-AS5 is no longer fit for purpose so I am looking to replace it with something that passes HDCP 2.2 through as I have my Sky Q set to 2160p 10-bit. I am not looking for anything high end just simply 5.1, I don't mind if it's an All-in-One with Blu-ray player. Any suggestions?

Hi there
Requirements:
Option 1 - HT-RT5
https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/sound-bars/ht-rt5
This full-fills your requirements - However it will only pass-through 4K@60p at YCbCr 4:2:0/8 bit only. Not 10 bit. (Page 63 of the manual HERE)
Option 2 - STR-DN1080

This really is your only option. It has excellent reviews.

It can be found for £500 or there abouts. Once you add a speaker package to it - depending upon which speakers you purchase, it will come to around that £1,000 budget mark - as its no use on adding £100 speaker package.
Cheers
Budget under £1000.
Have it look at the Sony Home Theatre products! The prices are very reasonable for 5.1 sound with subwoofer, centre, front L&R, rear L&R which start at around £260 for 5.1. BDV E-3100, 4100 and up. I've had my present BDV E-370 for around 6 years and have been more satisfied with it's surround sound performance.

Thanks for your help, I've had a quick look at the specs but struggling to find anything with 4K/60p pass-through with HDCP 2.2 support that is required for Sky Q.
