Volume is out of control (gets its "own life") - ATV triggers that volume goes to maximum or minumum in a matter of one minute.
Hi,
Just got an Apple TV.
When turning on our ATV volume it triggers that our Denon receiver volume slowly drifts to maximum or minumum - it takes about 1 min to do this.
Have tried to hook the ATV directly to both our Denon Receiver and our Sony TV. Problem happens in both configurations. I've tried the various options to disable the smart controls that the latest HDMI standard offers - both ATV and our TV (e.g. disabling auto volume control).
Turning the ATV off and on again (systems menu) will stop the problem for a while - however same problem returns after 1 to 5 mins.
I've spent 8 hours over the last couple of days trying to get it to work. Seems like a bug in the ATV SW?? (i.e. disabling ATV smart control does not take effect).
Desipite being impossible to use, I don't want to damage my 20K speaker system. I am close to returning my unit and getting a Chromecast instead.
Any help to resolve this would be much appreciated!!
System: Apple TV gen. 4 + Denon AVR 2313 + Sony KDL 60w605 all connected with HDMI (and 3 other units that work fine).
