Dolby Atmos on Apple TV 4K 64GB not working with Yamaha RX A2040

I am not getting any sound when turn on Dolby Atmos on the Apple TV 4k 64GB. When I turn Atmos off, the sound track reappears. The Apple TV is connected directly to the Yamaha RX A2040 using a new high speed HDMI cable. I am using a 7.1.4 speaker set up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Everything streams through as PCM.

That may be as intended, and that can still be Dolby Atmos. Apple TV will decode the incoming Dolby Atmos in Dolby Digital Plus audio signal into PCM Multichannel with Atmos (Dolby Atmos in Dolby MAT). There is no passthrough option.
