My Pioneer VXS-921-k receiver doesn’t connect with my Apple TV 4
I just bought a Apple TV 4 and wanted to connect it to my system of Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX5090H and my receiver Pioneer VXS-921-k (from 2011).
For some reason it did not work to pass the signal from the ATV4 through the receiver to the TV (it turned of after 10-30 seconds). So I tried to connect directly to the TV via HDM1. 3 positive things appeared.
1. The ATV4 worked (I could see on my TV)
2. The TV and the Receiver turned on just by starting the ATV4 (never happened before)
3. When I turn up or down the volume button on ATV4 remote I see that the Receivers volume indication goes up and down
So this is the route I want to go rather than pass the receiver.
BUT: I got no volume from the receiver into the speakers!
There must be some kind of connection to the receiver since the ATV remote can start the receiver and turn up and down the volume. But how do I get the sound to the speakers?
I have a lot of other devices connected to the receiver and it all works well. The ATV4 vas the first device that did not work as it should when I connected it through the receiver. Well it kind of did if I turned of everything first and than started the ATV4 and then the TV and receiver stared. But if i changed anything on the receiver (looking at the satellite for a while) it was not possible to turn back unless everything was restarted.
I have tried several different HDMI cables (but they are all a few years old) and I have tried to set the ATV4 on specifik sound and TV settings (such as Dolby digital and 1080p/50 and RGB) instead of auto. I have also the newest software on the ATV4 and on the receiver software.
