AirPlay Mirroring is different than AirPlay in a number of areas. AirPlay Mirroring establishes a video stream based on the H. 246 video format that is continuously being streamed to the Apple TV box (and sent to the TV screen).
Why does my Apple TV not work with my Denon?
If it’s set to anything else, the setup will not work. Now the Apple TV 4K and all other devices work seamlessly though the Denon receiver and the Apple TV is outputting 4k and HDR with no issues. What model is your Denon receiver. I can’t get my 1909 Denon to work with the Apple TV 4K because of the missing optic audio output.
What should I Set my Denon receiver to?
If I set it to DD 5.1, then play a movie in Plex with TrueHD or DTS-HD audio, the Denon receiver lights up as “Dolby Digital” and I get surround sound. If I set the ATV4 to “Best Quality Available” and play a Plex movie with TrueHD or DTS-HD audio, the Denon lights up with “Multi Channel In”.
What kind of HDMI do I need for Apple TV?
HDR works fine when connecting directly to my TV (LG OLED65G6P) but will not work when passing through the A/V Receiver. All HDMI Inputs and Outputs are HDCP 2.2 compatible and I’ve upgraded the receiver to the latest firmware.
Can a Denon receiver decode a plex movie?
I don’t think the ATV4 can’t decode it, but looking at the ATV4 settings there’s an option under audio for either “Best Quality Available” or “Dolby Digital 5.1”. If I set it to DD 5.1, then play a movie in Plex with TrueHD or DTS-HD audio, the Denon receiver lights up as “Dolby Digital” and I get surround sound.
