Apple TV won't maintain a connection to my Samsung

Apple TV won't maintain a connection to my Samsung UHD TV. All other devices work well with it. I have tried switching HDMI ports and cables effecting no change. Apple TV may flash on and off, connect for 10 seconds, or not at all. (Note: Apple TV is still in setup mode since it doesn't display long enough to complete the process.)

HELP, PLEASE.

Apple TV (4th generation), tvOS 9, null

Thank you... HUGE relief.....Problem solved for me too... I'm using the 216 curved screen 4k Samsung, and I have 1st and 3rd generation Apple TV units hooked up to two of the HDMI ports.....I couldn't figure it out, because Roku devices, and blueRay devices provided great pictures, but the Apple TV would "flicker" or the sound would interrupt intermittently...


On my Samsung the "anynet" settings are buried under the "Expert" settings for HDMI.... I disabled it.. and all Apple devices, work just fine... THANK YOU! I was ready to return the TV.
