There are 4K to 1080P down scaling devices this way the Apple TV will get the 4K stream from Netflix and send 4K to the down scaling device.

I don't have a recommendation for one but there are a bunch on Amazon that should be an easy return if they don't work.

As u/SBYMB said use the feature to learn the volume control. It's located under Home Theater Control do not use the Learn Remote under Other Devices.

Yes you can do that. I have a HDFurry Arcana that was made for that the down side is it's expensive. There are cheaper devices now that reportedly work just as well but lack some of the features the Arcana has.

If you go with a soundbar that only has one HDMI input (ARC/eARC) then the Arcana or the $99 U9 View HD or one of it's clones will work.

If you get a sound bar that has inputs in addition to the ARC/eARC port then the $50 OREI or similar will work.

If you use Airplay you get stereo audio, HDMI is better for audio with movies.

You can't use the Apple TV Channel in the TV app if you subscribed directly with Paramount+. You have to use the paramount+ app.

If you subscribe to the Paramount+ Apple TV Channel you can use both.

It's because the metadata is stored in the apps cache and Apple will purge the cache when other apps need the space. With the 32 GB this will occur more often especially if you have the screen savers set to down load frequently.

I have a few 32 GB Apple TV's and setting the screen savers to never reduces the frequency of the metadata being cleared. I also use Tiny Media Manager to scrape my files and create NFOs to speed up the process if the cache gets cleared.

If you have an Apple TV 4K Netflix sends an incredibly low bitrate stream for 4K content when you have a 1080p screen.

500 kbps Netflix 1080p H265 stream Apple TV 4K

3 Mbps Netflix 1080p H264 stream Apple TV HD

Netflix uses their own compression algorithm for their videos and it looks like it's just too aggressive for H265 1080p content. My TV is decent at up scaling 1080P to 4K so it does not look to bad but I could see where a 1080P projector will have problems.

Are you connected by ARC or eARC?

You can try adjusting the Digital Output Delay settings.

What Apple TV and remote do you have? What is your iOS and tvOS version?

I'm still using 3 of the 2017 4Ks, one 2021 one 2022 and the 2015 HD.

To add on what was already said, there is a Crunchyroll app.

I have one still in use and it's ok, I would not buy one at this point in time though. A used 2017 4K model would be a better choice if you are looking on the used market.

 

Audio is playing at the correct kHz and all channels are working. 44.1 kHz, 96 kHz, and 192 kHz FLACs still play back at the correct sample rates.
