Cowboy Denny Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 What a pain in the butt this has been. Watching the voice (my wife, not me) on YouTube TV and the screen goes black and comes back with Dolby Vision in the upper right corner. Setup Apple TV 4K Marantz 8K UHD AVR SR5015 - 7.2 Ch (2020 Model) Sony OLED Bravia 55" Some suggestions is to turn off Match Content, turn off dolby atmos if you aren’t using it. If your TV is HDR… Match Dynamic Range to On After doing this, your apple tv transmits the content in the format because it is master so the hdr content is sent in HDR and transmits SDR content into SDR. First, Power On your Apple Tv Using remote, Find- Open SettingsApp Scroll the screen Video and Audio click Match Content Choose Match Dynamic Range and click to turn it ON/OFF Match Frame Rate to On (most movies are 24 frames per second) Consequence of using the above settings, TVs rarely switch frame rates instantly, resulting in a momentary blank or no signal screen which is what we are seeing. You can set Match Frame Rate to Off but doing so will remove the delay, but it will come at the risk of motion approximation distortions but just may fix the screen from blanking out Firmware update firmware on TV, Receiver, Apple TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Denny Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 so far what appears to be working is making this simple change 1. make sure you have 8k HDMI cables for everything 2. make sure firmware is updated on everything 3. Finally First, Power On your Apple Tv Using remote, Find- Open SettingsApp Scroll the screen Video and Audio click Match Content Choose Match Dynamic Range and click to turn it ON Choose Match Frame Rate and click to turn OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Denny Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 No matter what setting we did, we kept getting the black out screens so just connected directly the Apple TV to HDMI 1 (non ARC HDMI) on our Sony 55" OLED and left the Marantz Receiver in the ARC HDMI2 port on the Sony 55" OLED TV so we can still get the awesome sound to the receiver and our 5.1 speakers. Since Apple TV is plugged directly into the TV we haven't had any issues even after changing the settings on the Apple TV back to original settings: Match Dynamic Range and click to turn it ON Match Frame Rate and click to turn ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Denny Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Was running into some sound issues connecting Apple TV directly to the Sony TV I went into the Marantz Receiver Settings Clicked on Video Clicked on 4k/8k Signal Format Changed from Enhanced (Default) to 8K Enhanced Standard: Select if your TV and playback devices support 4K 60p 4:2:0 8 bit video signals. Enhanced (Default): Select if your TV, playback devices, and cables support high quality 4K 60p 4:4:4 8 bit, 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 10 bit video signals. 8K Enhanced: Select if your TV, playback devices, and cables support high quality 8K 60p or 4K 120p video signals. Relation between the “4K/8K Signal Format” setting and supported resolutions Support Resolution Color Space Pixel Depth 4K/8K Signal Format Standard Enhanced 8K Enhanced 4K 24p, 4K 30p, 4K 25p RGB / YCbCr 4:4:4 8 bit 10,12 bit – YCbCr 4:2:2 12 bit 4K 60p, 4K 50p YCbCr 4:2:0 8 bit 10,12 bit – RGB / YCbCr 4:4:4 8 bit – 10,12 bit – – YCbCr 4:2:2 12 bit – 4K 120p, 4K 100p YCbCr 4:2:0 8,10,12 bit – – RGB / YCbCr 4:4:4 8,10 bit – – YCbCr 4:2:2 12 bit – – 8K 24p, 8K 30p, 8K 25p YCbCr 4:2:0 8,10,12 bit – – RGB / YCbCr 4:4:4 8,10 bit – – YCbCr 4:2:2 12 bit – – 8K 60p, 8K 50p YCbCr 4:2:0 8, 10 bit – – When setting this to “Enhanced”, we recommend using a “Premium High Speed HDMI Cable” or “Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet” that has an “HDMI Premium Certified Cable” label attached to the product package. When setting this to “8K Enhanced”, we recommend using an “Ultra High Speed 48 Gbps HDMI cable”. When this setting is “Enhanced” or “8K Enhanced”, configure the television or playback device settings to match this setting. When this setting is “Enhanced” or “8K Enhanced”, video may not be output correctly depending on the connected playback device or HDMI cable. In this case, change this setting to “Standard”.

Cowboy Denny Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Looks like the key that worked for me was plugging AppleTV directly into the TV. My Sony Bravia OLED TV has HDMI/ARC on HDMI 3 so I leave that connected to my Marantz Receiver and I had the AppleTV plugged into HDMI4 or HDMI1 and it wasn't working but moved it to HDMI2 and all is good. My only issue is when the TV is running Dolby Vision when I change the volume the Heads up of how much volume no longer displays. I'm assuming its because the stereo doesn't support displaying in Dolby Vision. It's something I can live with.. after awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
