    HDR Mode?

    I was told to only turn on the HDR+ mode when viewing true HDR movies (say on Netflix). Don’t have it on for non HDR material. Then I read that the HDR mode upconverts a non HDR signal. What’s the real answer? I have a Samsung 75

    Leave it to me (college professor) to have an issue that this forum can’t solve.

    Rear Speakers and Sub not working in 5.1 System

    This was a rare situation when the HomeTheaterForum was stumped and stymied. I so appreciate the help and still do, but I’m glad I’m not the only one that was puzzled.

    Rear Speakers and Sub not working in 5.1 System

    I do want to try ONE more thing, though. I want to try going Apple TV directly into my TV (bypassing the receiver) and then using optical audio cable from TV to receiver. I read that some Apple TV users in my situation have had success that way.

    Okay, based on my research, 4K HDR 24 Hz is superior, especially if movies are your thing.

    To enable Active Content, do you mean have Match Dynamic Range and Match frame rate ON?

    Which is superior, 4K HDR 30Hz or 4K HDR 24? It is permitting to select 4KHDR 30 Hz

    Rear Speakers and Sub not working in 5.1 System

    Update: the new HDMI cable, unfortunately, did NOT do the trick. I’m going to do as you originally suggested, Brian, and change my framerate down to 24Hz, etc. However, I won’t be able to do this until Monday. Are you Brian, or someone, online here Monday, if I need any help working the TV...

    Rear Speakers and Sub not working in 5.1 System

    The snow is causing the amazon delivery guy to make me wait for the new cable. Ugh. I did get a response from an Apple forum and it was the same idea as you, Brian, gave me two days ago. I may ask you to walk me through it again, IF the cable doesn’t do the trick. “Change your framerate down...

    Like I said before, it works fine when I went straight into the tv and avoided the receiver. New cable coming within the hour.

    I too can get Netflix with my Blu-ray player but it sure would be nice if I can get what I paid for with Apple TV. :)

    I still can’t get why I was able to get 4K HDR when I went directly in to the TV (but didn’t get 5.1 sound) and bypassed the receiver. I guess it could be an HDMI cable issue. Maybe it needs a stronger and more capable cable to use the receiver as the in-between device. I’ll know soon enough.

    Agreed. I read the same thing too. Fingers crossed.

    The Apple TV box picks up my home’s WiFi (Verizon) and once it does, I have access to steaming, like Netflix, Amazon, etc.

    Rear Speakers and Sub not working in 5.1 System

    I disconnected the HDMI cable that was in the Blu-ray player and put it into the Apple TV box, just to check, and no luck. When I try to put the signal into HDR mode, I keep getting the following screen. My new HDMI cable comes today, probably by early afternoon. Fingers crossed it’s the answer.

    I may not get back to things until Friday morning, guys. The snow around these parts has delayed the new cable and gave me outdoor work.

    That’s the way I have it but just waiting now for the new cable to get here in the snow. Yes, this hockey puck device called Apple TV is what gives me all of the apps that I can stream content.

    Netflix is available from within Apple TV. Apple TV allows you to stream Netflix and anything that Roku permits.

    Tell you what. Let me wait until this new cable comes today. It’s been certified to work with Apple TV, so if it doesn’t work, I’ll try as you suggest. Thanks a lot.

    Ok. BTW, I don’t have a cable box. This room is a home theater only—no cable or satellite TV. When you say, send Netflix to the Sony, you mean send Apple TV to the Sony blueray player?

    Maybe it is the cable. I’ll know today when my new one is delivered. It’s the only thing that makes any sense at this point.

    This is my Apple TV video/audio settings page. As you can see, 4K standard. Apple TV is using my home’s WiFi.

    IF I solve this, believe me, I will post the solution because the HomeTheaterForum is stymied.
