The new apple tv isn't allowing me to change the HDMI video level (hdmi high / low in the settings menu)
Pretty sure it's only outputting PC levels.. which is creating a dark picture.
Tv settings are calibrated to HDMI Video levels as they should be.
Bluray and Roku box are displaying properly, but new Apple tv 2 is not.
Tried different resolutions.
-Panasonic Plasma through Hdmi/dvi cable .
AppleTV 2
HDMI is the only method officially supported. Have you tried it on another set?
New apple tv 2 was delivered two hours ago..
Only have this display.
I would take it to an Apple store or if you know someone with an HDMI display that you can test on. Just to rule out your display and converter.
Just wanted to rule other things out so I connected my AppleTV 1 via hdmi and it DOES allow me to select HDMI high/low.
(had is hooked up via component before)
Ok. Well in regards to the ATV 2 HDMI is the only supported method (whereas the 1st gen allowed for others). I would still test that device on another system to be sure if the problem is in relation to its communication with your system or a defect
Is this a new AppleTV2 or the 'AppleTV3' being officially released tomorrow?
There should be an option on ATV2 under Settings>Video (or whatever it's called now) to alter HDMI Hi/Lo/etc
No idea if that's still there on the new one.
Yeah the "New Apple TV" My mistake
AppleTV 3 I suppose
It Releases tomorrow, but FedEx delivered today.
The HDMI high/low is not working as expected.
Only outputting low in my setup.
Try taking it in to Apple to test, or on a friends system
whats the make and model of your tv. might be easier to figure out whats going on

I have the Apple TV 1080p with a panasonic plasma - G10 series. I have 4 choices of HDMI output - Auto, YBrCr (or something like that), RGB high and RGB low. I could barely tell the difference when I selected each of these. I thought the color and brightness were off a bit so I ended up toning down the brightness and contrast on the TV and choosing a cool color setting. The THX setting on the TV made the picture from the Apple TV pretty dim. I've left the Apple TV HDMI output as Auto.
I seem to recall one of the ATV1 updates messed up the HDMI output settings and they didn't make any difference, maybe they've done it again.
There's a huge difference on my Sony W4100 between RGB Low/High on the ATV 2, running the 4.3 software, so it was working that recently, at the least. RGB Low crushes the blacks, while RGB High, YCbCr, and Auto all look the same.
I have a Panasona Plasma as well connected Hdmi/hdmi and am getting a blue shift in colors from the 1080p apple tv until I change the HDMI output to RGB high and then the colors are correct. The problem is that the color shift does not stay normal. I used the Apple TV yesterday and after waking it, the colors were blue again. I had to go into the HDMI output menu and change it to something else and then change it back to RGB high to restore the color.
New 1080 apple tv .. Dark picture. Rgb PC levels only
