Connecting 4th Gen Apple TV to Denon Receiver 5.1Channel

I tried connecting my 4th Generation Apple TV via a HDMI cable to my Denon Receiver 5.1 Channel. Unfortunately it is not connecting. 😟.


I do have an existing 3rd Generation Apple TV and it is working great with Denon. Do you guys have any recommendation? I tried updating the OS/FW on both the TV and Denon but it would connect. It flashes for a moment and shows No Signal.

AppleTV 2, tvOS 9.2.1

As a test, hook the ATV directly to the TV and try it. If it does work, check the video resolution the ATV is set at.

My first suspicion is your Denon is blocking the signal:


Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor’s resolution. In this case, switch the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.


Hooking it directly will verify the ATV is working properly and the issue is just the receiver.


Try working through the video section of this help page and note the video resolution instructions if you get to that step without resolving it.
