HDMI pass-through no picture

I wonder if anyone could please help. I have just bought AppleTV and am trying to use it with my old Samsung DLP (with no HDMI but DVI) and a Denon AVR 789 (witch has HDMI pass-through) . When I connect the AppleTV through the receiver (using a HDMI lead to HDMI, them HDMI to DVI) I get no picture. When I go directly from the AppleTV to the TV using HDMI to DVI it works fine. I have tried changing the cables and also when I connect my FIOS TV box through the receiver it works fine. Also my AppleTV software is up to date Could this be something to do with HDCP ?

I would be grateful of any help

Yes it could be HDCP.

Generally, I would look at the source device (tv) as the root of the problem in that it doesn't handle HDCP hopping properly, however the tv works with other receivers so I have to have my doubts about where blame lies for these problems.

You could try powering up the devices in a different order, say from the delivery end first.

It could be however that you simply don't have the receiver set correctly and need to match up the inputs and outputs.
