How to pair my AppleTV 4K with a newDenon receiver?

Can you pair an Apple TV 3rd Gen to a Denon 4500 AVR? If so, how. Please don't say use an HDMI. The term pair means wirelessly I presume? There are many complex reasons to do so.


If possible to wirelessly pair, with the connection carry Dolby Digital + with Atmos for 7.1.4 surround setup? Please don't say how terrible or temporary it would be. Just answer the 2 questions directly and hold the pontification to hear yourself talk and all the alternatives that you suppose are better.


Hint, Denon doesn't pass hdr10+. Samsung TV only has 1 earc.........


If some genius at apple could figure out how to make their great TV box come with an extra HDMI out for full band audio like EVERY 4K BLUE RAY PLAYER on the planet seams to, that would be great.


Thanks to all for brevity, lack of answering the direct questions with questions, and accurate answers.

Follow up into. Its a 4k apple TV and found probable answer:



Yes, you can wirelessly pair an Apple TV 4K with a Denon AVR-X4500H for high-quality surround sound including Dolby Atmos. However, the wireless connection will be for audio streaming purposes and not for transmitting the video signal. The recommended method for connecting an Apple TV to an AVR like the Denon AVR-X4500H is via HDMI for both video and audio.

Here's how you can wirelessly stream audio from an Apple TV 4K to a Denon AVR-X4500H:

  1. Ensure that both the Apple TV 4K and the Denon AVR-X4500H are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. On your Denon AVR-X4500H, make sure that the network setup is complete and that it's connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV 4K.
  3. On your Apple TV 4K, go to Settings > Video and Audio > Audio Output.
  4. Select the Denon AVR-X4500H from the list of available AirPlay devices.
  5. Once selected, the audio from your Apple TV 4K will be wirelessly streamed to your Denon AVR-X4500H for playback through your home theater speakers.


Hope this helps those like me and good luck all of us old Samsung hdr10+ and old denon no hdr10+ owners!
