Can’t get Apple TV into 4K HDR

Just bought Apple TV 4K. I’m running through Yamaha RX-A860 receiver into Samsung 4K tv (KS8000). I updated firmware on both devices and changed TV settings to accommodate 4K HDR, yet every time I try to switch to 4K HDR, atv kicks it back to SDR. I haven’t tried running straight into TV because it would be a pain, but I’ve read elsewhere of issues running through receiver to TV. Anyone else having this issue and does anyone know a fix?

Yamaha A860 - The receiver needs to be set to 4K - Mode 1. It's under Advance Settings for the Receiver. Take a look at the manual, it's buried pretty deep.


Instructions:

1. Turn the Unit Off

2. Hold Down the Straight button and Power Button

3. Release

4. Use the left program button on the receiver (not the remote)

5. Select 4K (Mode is probably 2)

6. Press Straight button to change to Mode 1

7. Press Power (unit will power off)

8. Power Back on and Enjoy
