Apple TV image flickering

I’ve recently started to notice the top half of the picture from a 2015 HD Apple TV (not the latest 4K version) flickers every once in a while. It’s connected to a 4K TV via a Marantz AV8801 and it seems to flicker whether we are watching an Apple TV show, a movie or a Netflix show. Anyone else seeing this kind of problem?

  • Verify the connections. Detach the HDMI cables on both ends, then reconnect.
  • Try a direct connection to the TV. Does that have the same visual symptoms?

I moved the Apple TV to another HDMI input - I have 7 so lots to choose from :) No flickering or dropouts on the other input. So it looks like it might be a faulty HDMI input on the pre-amp. I guess I can live with one less input but I might contact the Marantz service dealer anyway to see what I can find out. Thanks for all the suggestions here.
