Thanks Guys
i finally managed to set this up today following the suggestions and just have a couple of questions. I set the ATV to 4K SDR as per the vids but was only able to set Chroma to 4:2:0, is this the G3 unable to be set to the higher option? For now I have connected the ATV directly to the theatre, what I have noticed is that comparing the built in Netflix app, when I load something that is 4K, DOLBY Vision & Atmos in mentions this in the top right of the screen, when launching the same content from ATV Netflix it dosnt mention this however when pressing down on the remote the graphic displays DV & Atmos. Also what I noticed is that when viewing this content Dolby Vision picture mode is enabled, is filmmaker mode not available in DV?
Just trying to get my head around all the different modes

Yes - if you watch a Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos movie (on Netflix for example) using the native app, the panel seems to recognise that, display both in the top right corner, and switch to Cinema / Cinema Home picture mode.
For the same content when output from the ATV Netflix app, the audio is in PCM - that's how the ATV works - as opposed to the LG Netflix app, which will bitstream the audio. Try both again, and look at the B&O app Signal Info page, and it's clear.
As for the chroma issue, my ATV is connected to the Theatre, and I get 4:4:4. It might be worth, if you havent already, get the ATV to check the HDMI connection - there's a menu setting to do that. The Chroma settings page mentions needing a high speed cable to get 4:4:4, whatever that means.

Agree with @Sandyb. I have a Theatre with a G3 and latest ATV. When first installed the HDMIs used by B&O installer despite saying Ultra Fast only provided 4:2:0. The installer swapped for others in his van and now I have 4:4:4. The same with the HDMI to SkyQ 1st set of HDMIs would not give me 2160P 10 bit just 8 bit but again the installer swapped for a different cable and now I have 10 bit with UHD HDR showing on screen when I go to Sky Sports UHD or Sky F1 UHD channel.
Re DV and Atmos message on G3 you will not see Atmos on DV when using ATV 4K box connected to the Theatre as ATV uses Dolby MAT codec. If you open the B&O app and check the signal it will confirm Atmos is being played when the content is outputting an Atmos soundtrack.
Make sure your HDMI cable supports UHD-2 (UHD II) (High Speed with Ethernet designed for eARC) not all 2.1 specification cables do.

Убедитесь, что ваш кабель HDMI поддерживает UHD-2 (UHD II) (высокоскоростное подключение по Ethernet, разработанное для eARC), чего не делают все кабели спецификации 2.1.
Good evening!
Tell me the full name of the HDMI UHD II eARC cables to find purchase offers from trusted manufacturers. I could not find cables with such an abbreviation UHD II. I would be very grateful to you.
Thank you in advance!

I've never heard of UHD-2.
Probably explains why you cant find any cables with that name.
What are you trying to connect?
The Beosound Theater LG G3 Apple TV - Simon Weir mentioned in his post, which I quoted, that the HDMI cable, if certified for eARC, must have the designation UHD-2 (UHD II). But I didn't find any either. Therefore, the question arose: what kind of cables, who produce, maybe a novelty?
According to him, not all cables of the 2.1 specification support eARC, but only those designated as UHD 2. Therefore, I would like to understand what is meant?
You just need an HDMI cable that is certified as Ultra High Speed.
