Denon AV receiver and Apple TV

Why doesn't Apple TV show picture or sound when hooking up in Denon AVR-1912 receiver? Apple TV works fine when plugging directly into TV.

AppleTV 2, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Same here too!!!!!!


If I disconnect the power cable from AppleTV for ~ 2-3 minutes and then boot it up with connected HDMI cable, it works.


Is there some issue with HDCP handshaking? My previous Denon 1910 worked okay!


reported bug:

Bug ID# 9743780.

I have the same issue. It seems to happen if I leave the AVR 1910 pointed at another device. So if the last thing I have used the the Blu-Ray player then the sound will not work when I to to the AppleTV 3 input.


To get it to work I go through the Dennon's menue and move the AppleTv from D2 to D3. If you want I can put the exact menu's I go through to get the sound to work.

This is going to sound basic, but have you activated the HDMI "in" for the receiver? If not, then go to the avr set-up. menu->set-up wizard->source set-up->sat/cbl and follow the prompts.


I never have owned a receiver that required this, but this one does. My gen 3 Apple TV has been hooked up for a few days with no issues.

I also have an AVR-2113 and am experiencing this issue with Apple TV 3G. I have to switch everything off for up to a minute, sometimes disconnect the HDMI cable and then switch it all back on again. I haven't worked out which order I need to turn stuff on in. Sometimes it takes me about 5 attempts before the things works.


It usually goes like this:


* Turn everything on

* Apple logo appears

* Apple logo disappears, I receive a warning from the TV that there is no HDMI signal

* pull out the HDMI cable from the Apple TV

* DENON logo appears on the screen

* plug it back in

* No HDMI signal warning message reappears


This sounds like some HDMI handshaking issue between the Apple TV and the Denon receiver. Is this Apple's fault, Denon's, or a mixture of the two?
