I have my Apple TV HD connected to a projector through an AV receiver. Whenever I try to watch a movie on this device, it randomly cuts out. I have tried restarting the devices and I have a very good WiFi connection. I have an older Apple TV connected directly to another TV that doesn’t have this problem.
Welcome, AppleTVcutsout!
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! From your post, it sounds like our Apple TV is disconnecting while watching a movie. We want to help find a solution with you.
Is your Apple TV disconnecting from Wi-Fi, causing your movie to pause, or is it disconnecting from your projector?
If it disconnects from Wi-Fi, we want to see if the troubleshooting steps in the following support article will help resolve this:

Should the Apple TV be disconnecting from your projector, try connecting to another device to test if the issue continues, or use a different cable.
Feel free to post an update for continued support.
All the best.
Why does Apple TV keep cutting in and out?
