Appletv freezes yamaha

[Anglofun]

Afternoon !

I have 2 applet tv's connected to my Yamaha a4a. One for HT and one for 2 channel audio. The one for 2 channel audio ( set to STEREO only) has an HDMI to optical converter straight out of the apple tv into the Yamaha. Optical goes to an external dac and then I use audio 2 in straight. The HDMI out goes only to HDMI out 2.

Whenever I use this one first, the yamaha freezes and I can't do anything with it all. I then have to do a hard reset making me restart all configurations etc etc. Also, if ever I have the projector on and light up the 2 channel apple tv, it will also freeze.

Hoping I am clear! Thanks for any kind of help on this.

How old are the AppleTVs? Apple has a bad habit of deciding their stuff is 'obsolete', so they stop writing updates, all without telling the users. Try to update the AppleTVs and if they hang up/never finish, call AppleCare and find out what's going on. They'll want the serial numbers of anything you call about, as usual.

Yikes. Ok, now complete the device and connections used in the system information. Model of each Apple TV? TV? Projector? DAC? HDMI to optical converter? Ports used to connect each device? HDMI-CEC enabled all around?

Sending the signal to a DAC and then back to the Yamaha over an analog connection and using a Straight decode of the signal in the Yamaha subjects the signal to ADC to apply DSP and then to yet another DAC.

Thanks for the response, I have to admit, getting (insert word of your choice) discouraged!

They are the latest gen applet tvs. Just bought the one that is in Stereo mode in December.

Monitor is a pc monitor 4k from ACER.
Projector Epson 2350
Yamaha RX A4a
Dac Reimyo DAP 777

Applet tv (1) for HT is a 4k Model a2843
Applet tv (2) for Stereo is a 4k same model a2843
Both are up to date. The Yamaha is plugged Ethernet and has the latest firmware update.

The converter I don't see the model number, but it is HDCP 2.2

This time to get it going again, I had to unplug both Apple tvs and plug only the HT one.
