I bought a Denon 517 soundbar because I have an apple TV 4K and Apple TV plus has lots of Atmos content. I needed a soundbar with two HDMI connections. The ARC connection goes to the TV ARC HDMI and the other HDMI goes direct to the Apple TV. The subwoofer is pre-connected so it just works when powered on. I waited for an Amazon price drop which I was expecting near Black Friday.

Good advice! Helped me a lot 😊

I have my picture settings always on Standard Mode (unless Gaming on my consoles) then I use the Apple TV settings to switch between 1080p and 4K SDR because the local dimming on my LG Nanocell TV sucks.

Just came across your video myself. Switched from a Fire Stick TV 4k Max to the newest Apple TV 4k 128gb. Mainly because It's much snappier in terms of response. I have a Samsung Q60A 43" 4k TV myself, and have been playing around with the settings, I'd noticed the menu being overly bright, screensavers look great, but if those are on, I'm either asleep or out of the room, lol. So, if I'm understanding it, setting it to 4k SDR (60Hz) and changing the matching to On, just runs the menus in SDR and things of that nature and when using something that's output in either HD or HDR it bumps itself to match that content? Question is, does KZread, and all those support that without issues? I'd read that some apps had issues, but was curious for someone that has used it in that setting for a while if everything was changing as it should and going into the proper modes and output that it should?

It probably has the nominal video setting as HDR/DV on. If you set that to SDR with the matches on (per the video), the home screen will dim down a bit. I've not experienced trouble with the match setting, but I'm sure at certain points, certain apps have had bugs with it.

@@jerryuma yes, overall it definitely is, especially if you have a decent tv. Not all tvs that have Dolby vision and HDR10 have the wide color gamut to produce true HDR which can make it look mediocre, the only issue like I mentioned with HDR is that depending on the TV it can be very dark. I only use HDR with certain things, not everything that supports it because it doesn’t always look better. Personal preference really and the quality of TV, if you have a TV with a wide color gamut then HDR will look beautiful consistently most of the time, if it doesn’t then it will make things sometimes look worse than just using SDR instead, it’s not as simple as saying HDR is purely better 100% of the time.

This is raja from India I recently purchased the Apple TV 4K 2022 model and connected with Denon 4700 AVR home theater system. In Apple TV video/audio setup, I set the Audio HDMI output as auto and I'm able to get Dolby ATMOS for the supported moved. But for Dolby ATMOS non-supported movies, I get Multi-channel PCM 5.1 instead of Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 (the actual audio code of the movies from streaming apps).Plz clarify this any reason ?

If you turn off the match options, you won't see any black screens because the ATV will never change its output, so the TV never has to re-sync to an new signals. I wouldn't exactly call that letting the ATV do its job "naturally" as you're letting the ATV change the signals and containers in this case from what they naturally might have been.

Video sources like the ATV may claim support for being HDMI 2.1, but they don't really do much with it. It's really more for gaming sources. So, you probably won't even notice any difference. That said, if you just have the ATV, no other sources, and you're not using eARC, then sure, keep the ATV on a 2.1 port. No reason not to and how knows what future firmware might bring.

@Techthusiasm

For these settings, everything needs to match up between the source device and TV. If so, you're fine. If not, it'll usually look pretty clear that something is wrong. I recommend just using YCbCr for ATV to a television because you're sourcing content that is not native RGB to a display that generally prefers YCbCr. RGB is more a PC thing. High or low specifically has to do with the color range. You wouldn't want to use RGB full unless you are connecting to a computer monitor or you specifically know your display doesn't support that.

Just curious, why don't you run the interface in Dolby Vision?
