Hi all -
Need some help with getting 4k Dolby Vision from my AVR (a Denon AVR-X1500H, all of whose HDMI ports are supposed 4k/Dolby Vision compliant).
I have an Apple TV unit plugged into the Media Player port of my Denon AVR-X1700H, and the output port from the receiver goes into the HDMI/ARC port (HDMI1) of my 58" Panasonic TV (2021 model). In this mode, I do not get anything more than 4k/SDR. I do get Dolby Vision, but only at a HD resolution.
- When i try setting the Apple TV resolution to 4k/Dolby Vision, it says to check my HDMI cables
- When i try setting the Apply TV resolution to 4k/HDR, it says to check the TV status to bright or something like that.
I have tried the above by plugging the Apple TV unit into a different port (the BluRay one), and i have also tried plugging the output from the AVR into the TV's HDMI1 port. Same problem.
However, when i plug the Apple TV unit directly to the HDMI port of my TV, and then take a return feed from the TV'S HDMI1 port to my AVR, i am getting 4k/Dolby Vision - no issues.
So:
- both ports of my TV are fine with 4k/DV
- both the cables are perfectly fine with 4k/DV
- it is when i route the feed from the AppleTV to the receiver to the TV that things fall apart.
Any idea what could be causing this or how to fix this so that I can route the video through the AVR as well? Routing through the TV works, but my OCD is bothered by it.
Worst case, if i cannot find a fix, will there be any issues with getting Dolby Atmos if i route it the way it currently (return feed from TV feeding my AVR)?
TIA!
