Could it be an HDCP problem?

I use an audio extractor with my ATV4 and BV6 and this has the added advantage of extracting the HDCP; hence it works fine.

@ benjnz

But assuming that your BV6 has a DVI socket, then why not keep the signal digital and use one of these: 

Hey Gary there is that, although I thought I'd be even more retro and time warp by dusting off my ancient Beomedia 1 and utilise the DVI for that. I'll then decide which deserves the DVI port depending on the YPbPr test on the AppleTV4 🙂

Hi guys

Bought 2 of the converters from Amazon, but no luck.

Still the same problem, the old Apple TV works fine, the new one doesn't.... I find this very strange!?!

Any other suggestions?

Both my ATV4s are working fine with the audio extractor that I linked to.  I have them connected to a BC6-23 and BV6-26.

I checked the ATV's video setting and they are as follows:

Resolution:  720p

HDMI Output:  RGB High

I can't think of anything else to try other than the MENU/Vol Down trick.  Have you tried setting it up direct to the DVI first (without audio extractor) - this should work without sound as long as the ATV is not set to a source with hdcp.  Once working like that, add the adaptor to extract the audio and strip hdcp. 

Hi!

Yes, I have tried directly (without the extractor) just to see if I would get a picture. There are times when the tv will show the ATV picture, but only for a fraction of a second.

Before moving one of my ATV's from my BV7-40 (4 x HDMI) to the BV7-32, I went into the settings menu and set it to 720p and RGB High as you said. I don't know if the ATV will "remember" this when taking the power and moving it, but it did not show any picture on the BV7-32 after doing this either. I did. of course, also try the MENU/Vol down cycle afterwards, without any luck.

You would agree that as long all my BeoVision/Center tv's work with the old ATV, they should work with the newer ATV's as long as the resolution is ok?

I can also see that the ATV says that "YCbCr is preffered on most tv's. RGB-formats should comply with the setting on the tv and would need a high-speed HDMI-cable

Maybe the HDMI cable is the problem?

I use a dvi-HDMI cabel, but maybe I should try a dvi-hdmi converter and then a high-speed/-quaity HDMI cabel? 🤔
