AirPlay for my Apple TV is not showing up on my iPad 2 when Apple TV is connected to my receiver

Airplay for my Apple TV (3rd Gen), which I just connected to my receiver (Pioneer VSX-1130k) is not showing up on my iPad 2, though it is showing up on my iPhone 5s. The only airplay device showing up on my iPad 2 is the receiver (which is audio only). Can anyone point me to what's going on and how to fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.

Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
