Another helpful tip: If you ask Siri "what did they say?" The Apple TV will rewind 10/15 seconds of the stream and trigger subtitles temporarily.

Seriously? I’ll definitely be using that.

Apple updated the match dynamic range feature with their latest software update, tvOS 16.1. It now works when set in HDR mode too, meaning it will now switch to SDR for SDR programs even when set to HDR as default.

[@JoelORamos-wz6oe]

Excellent! So there is no need to switch it to 4K SDR? I can leave it at 4K Dolby Vision and when in KZbin, it'll play the content in SDR?

[@SkepticCyclist]

@@JoelORamos-wz6oe Yes. The only downside is if KZbin video is in 4K and the ads aren’t, you’ll get a pause and blank screen while it switches from 4K to SD, then the same thing again after the ad when it goes back to 4K.

[@benjamindepaz8429]

Here's a tip to go along with what you were talking about with the Match Dynamic Range. So having it match the dynamic range and frame rate, as you showed are important. But you can add to it by going into the main TV resolution settings and changing the Apple TV to SDR. Even though you change it to SDR, because of the Match Dynamic Range setting, when playing something in HDR it will switch back. The benefit to this is to ensure that SDR is ALWAYS shown as SDR and that it never tries to tone-map the SDR to HDR. But even assuming the Match Dynamic Range setting truly does always keep the content in SDR when it's non-HDR, there's one place where it will NEVER change it: the Home Screen. The Home Screen will always try to show in HDR if HDR is selected. This has the result of making the Home Screen look a little washed out; not as bright or well defined. This may not be a big deal on TVs where the screen is extremely bright (like a QLED) - but it's really bad on a lower cost TV. Many TVs under $1,000 have panels that are not capable of truly reaching the minimum brightness needed for HDR (regardless of whether they show the HDR logo on the box and the input allows it). And so for TVs that can't go past 500 Nits of brightness, trying to browse through the Apple TV Home Screen in HDR mode can be very eye straining as it's so dim and washed out. But by changing the resolution setting to SDR, and then enabling Match Dynamic Range, the home screen will have full 4:4:4 color and look much brighter and easier to see.

[@Mr--Pineapple]

this is huge if it works as described. I have an OLED but with the ATV4K set to Dolby Vision output the main menu and buit-in apps (Apple Music) are always at 100% brightness. Not great for nighttime viewing. Thanks for the tip.

The eArc feature that allows users to AirPlay audio from games consoles to HomePods via Apple TV is never talked about! Such a good feature if, like me, you use stereo HomePods as your primary TV speakers.

[@neilmarshall4235]

Thanks for some good tips. I’ve been a long term user of the Apple TV, back from the original black box with silver, two button remote and I’ve owned at least one of every release since then. I didn’t know about the match content function. Hopefully this will resolve an occasional issue where content displays with very low contrast. My tip is actually an app pick. I’ve found the Plex Media Server very powerful. I can stream copies of my own media from a always on media PC, wirelessly to every tv in the house. Highly recommended!

[@benjamindepaz8429]

Another tip to go along with the voice control you talked about. You can also use the exact same commands hands-free, if you have another nearby Apple device like an iPad or HomePod or Apple Watch. I use this all the time when I want to get up to go to the other room and I just call out to Siri to pause the TV. The HomePod is perfect for this because it's equipped with long range beam-forming microphones; and it works from any HomePod in the house regardless of whether it's paired to the Apple TV for sound output or not. Some of the things you can say is: Hey Siri: Turn the Apple TV Off (Puts it to sleep) Pause the TV Resume playing on the TV Go back 45 seconds What did they say? Skip 5 Minutes All of that without ever having to touch the remote.

[@allclear4115]

I highly recommend making Apple TV picture settings at 4K SDR and choose match content so the HDR doesn't affect the screen life span by maxing brightness

[@maxriverpanya4963]

But but HDR 🥲.

[@noneyabizz8337]

I have the previous version, and it's still pretty good. Faster than the TV's own processor and the HDR mode looks good to me. I do wish there was more included to watch, but I will say what I've watched has been good

[@lindamarcus8973]

Love love love this video- Wanted to mention a super-duper little tip for your next audio specialty video. Many of us who can't or dont want to add soundbars to our TVs Systems can use the Apple TV to do something amazing with our Sonos speakers( that even the Sonos folks don"t seem to know!!). With your I pad or Iphone through the audio / video tab in the settings screen of your Apple TV play the TV through our sonos systems as each amplifire will appear as a wifi option. Additionally these options can be placed into the home app on your IOS device and the volumes etc for each amp/location can be controlled by your IOS device!!! Its an awesome benefit that not many seems to know about!!! Happy holidays!!!

Update: I was able to add all my sonos groups of devices through apple Home app and without having an apple TV device

[@lindamarcus8973]

[@golfgrouch]

Learn remote (Settings > Remotes and Devices > Learn Remote) is the best feature that wasn't mentioned in this video because it gives you dedicated remote skip buttons (specifically through "Set Up Playback Buttons") that are not available on the Siri remote. I used it to have the Apple TV learn my old cable set top box remote. It works so well that the set top box remote has replaced the Siri Remote as my primary remote because one-button skip is so important for KZbin TV.

[@electrode1105]

That is a great feature. Thank you.

[@neilmarshall4235]

It would be nice if the Siri Remote had a couple of extra buttons to program. I have the volume buttons directly control my sound bar, but I had to sacrifice the mute button to learn the change input remote function.

[@madmalkav6540]

Currently my Siri remote turns on my AppleTV as well as my Marantz AV receiver by HDMI. Can this learning be used so it also acts as the On/Off button for my LG TV by IR when I start or shut down the Apple TV?

[@neilmarshall4235]

@@madmalkav6540 I don’t think the on off button is programmable, one of the limitations of the system. However my Apple TV remote switches on and off my Sony TV, as well as my Samsung sound bar and the Apple TV itself. I’m connected into the ARC HDMI on the TV, maybe try connecting your HDMI from the amp for ARC on the TV and see if this helps at all. If not then have a read of the Marantz manual, as I’m guessing it’s not passing on the power signal to the TV. Good luck.

I think one of my favorite things I’ve been doing for a while is using my phone as a remote. It’s usually nearby (I tend to lose the remote) and the integration with the keyboard is nice. Plus I have the older Apple TV remote which frankly isn’t great - so the phone remote tends to be just as good. I’ve always felt the Apple TV is one of apples under the radar products. For a reasonable price, it gives you an excellent smart tv interface that is better than any integrated smart tv os I’ve seen(although lgs webOS is pretty good too).

Have you tried using remotes that you already own to control the Apple TV? I found that to work well.

I recently bought Airpods 3rd Gen. I used to have a home theater system with multiple speakers, in terms of audio that was better than actually being in the best seat in a theater or at the Super Bowl for example. The newer Airpods are better than that particularly because each person has their own personal home theater system, with the exception that with a home theater system you can actually feel the difference, like it's live versus a recording. I'm currently sitting at home waiting for delivery of my 2022 Apple TV unit as a Christmas present, and educating myself so that when my wife gets home I'll have it all set up. But now watching this I'm thinking maybe it's better if I just connect it and let her set up her own thing because we have a unique situation. I'm American, native English speaker; my wife is Japanese, native Japanese speaker. Both of us use iPhone and iPad. Until now we've been using an old Playstation, though mostly her. If only one can log in with global settings where it's that one person's language and such, I rather it be her. But ideally I want all our stuff separated by login by language, country, content, and so forth.

[@carstenehlers1864]

You can add multiple users. Simply press and hold the TV button to add new users and switch in between them seamlessly. I’m not sure if you can set different languages for each user but it’s worth a try ;)

Hopefully useful to others: I use a VPN on my personal devices while I'm in Japan so I can get my streaming content, and all other location targeted stuff wherever I may be, BUT the Apple TV thingamajig not only is a shared device BUT it also can't have a VPN, BUT I can do mirroring. So if I want to see my personal content on the larger screen through the Apple TV, I just login to it as myself and mirror that content from the iPad.

[@jeremywilliams4475]

You can also stream from a NAS. As a weird caveat, I’ve found you cannot stream Apple content downloaded and saved, it only seems to work with the universal formats like .mp4. To play Apple content, it must be streamed through a phone or laptop then airplayed back to the AppleTV. I’ve been led to understand this has to do with DRM (not claiming it’s true, just what I keep hearing). The online community has some “fixes” for this but I’ve found most of them problematic and/or unusable.

[@haimshani358]

Can you control the Apple TV Valutone from your iPhone?

[@Mark-hu4xc]

Not sure if this is well known or not but as Caleb mentioned you can switch between apps by double pressing the TV button. But you can also close apps by swiping up on the click pad (if click and touch is on) or by quickly double pressing the top button (if Clickpad is set to click only). This can be helpful if you would like to restart an app (similar to closing out apps on an iPhone) or possibly to help with performance of the Apple TV (I’m guessing) if you have a lot of apps that were open but don’t need them all open anymore.

I would like to know if Apple TV supports Dolby Atmos. I have a speaker system with Dolby Atmos. I am wondering how I connect them. Should I connect apple tv to speaker then speaker to tv ?

I'd be interested in seeing tv app performance to see which tv has the best in-tv app performance when streaming and best Ethernet performance.

Do Bluetooth microphones work for Apple TV Sing Karaoke feature?

[@8180Smitty]

Will the "up next" feature work with other apps such as hulu or netflix or apple tv app only?

How's the picture quality compared to the fire stick. That's most important part

Maybe you can answer this. If I am watching KZbinTV and just power off TV and Apple TV with long press power then when I power on TV later I just get black screen. I then have to return to home screen and start another app and return to KZbinTV to get it working again. If however if I return to home screen and power off everything is fine to return to KZbinTV when I power on later. Is it Apple TV problem or app problem?

How do I get my samsung soundbar and Apple TV to sync audio. I feel I've tried so many things to fix the audio lag but nothing has worked yet.

[@harsheshmehta5955]

one the most important thing for me, that was missed is it being HomeKit Hub! Apple's Smart Home eco system is getting stronger by the day. It gives tiny notification on top right of TV from my sensors, or locks...I have Homekit doorbell, and whenver someone rings my doorbell, I get a Picture in Picture type box on my TV itself of the doorbell camera... with an option to even Open the door using my tv remote

How do I install Apple TV 4k on Sony a80k?

[@Blueyzachary]

turn OFF match frame rate to see decent 24 fps on some TVs (still 3:2 pulldown) to avoid your tv’s motion interpolation
