Apple TV / Dolby Vison Through Yamaha Aventage Receiver

Can't get either the receiver or new Apple TV to pass through Dolby Vision. Works with an older Apple TV direct into the Television. When running through the Yamaha RX-A3050 with a brnd new Apple TV 4K it won't pass HDR or Dolbyvision. I tried poing into video processing on the receiver and set it up to through but not able to get it to say through for Aspect ???

Apple TV 4K will test the connection and devices for HDR capability. If your TV doesn’t support HDR or Dolby Vision, then you won’t be able to select HDR or Dolby Vision. If the selected HDMI port on the TV doesn’t support HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2, then you won’t be able to select 4K HDR or 4K Dolby Vision. If one of the used HDMI cables on the TV doesn’t support 18 Gbps, then you won’t be able to select some video features. Set Apple TV to 4:2:0 chroma, or some other video features may not be available. This is not a limitation, as all streaming video has 4:2:0 chroma anyway.
