Ideally, the Sonos soundbar is connected to the TV via HDMI. (HDMI ARC connection) All modern TVs actually have this. Then you can control the soundbar directly with either the Apple TV Remote or the TV remote control, which is 1000x more practical than always adjusting the volume via the Sonos app
Here are some possible explanations and suggested solutions:
Check HDMI cable: Make sure that the HDMI cable connecting the Apple TV Box to your Panasonic TV is in good condition. A damaged cable can lead to signal loss.
Screen refresh rate: Check the settings on your Panasonic TV and make sure that the screen refresh rate is set correctly. Some TVs offer different modes with different refresh rates.
HDR settings: If your TV and the content support HDR (High Dynamic Range), check the HDR settings on the Apple TV Box. Sometimes HDR compatibility issues can lead to unexpected screen changes.
Software updates: Check that both your Panasonic TV and Apple TV Box have the latest firmware or software updates installed. Updated software may resolve known issues.
Cables and connections: Ensure that all cables are firmly and correctly connected. If necessary, try other HDMI connections on your TV.
Picture enhancement functions: Temporarily disable any picture enhancement features on your TV, such as noise reduction or motion smoothing, to see if this solves the problem.
Contact support: If the problem persists, it may be advisable to contact Panasonic or Apple technical support. They can provide specific information about your model and possible solutions.
It is important to note that different TV models and brands may have different settings and functions. Therefore, these suggestions are general in nature and it may be necessary to refer to your Panasonic TV user manual or contact support directly for specific assistance.
These are worlds apart, an Apple TV 2nd gen has an ancient A4 processor that had 1.6 Gflop processing power and a core that was at most 1GHz fast. It couldn't do 4K UHD either.
The new Apple TV model has the A15 processor, with 6 cores that can do over 3 GHz and that is enough for 1600 Gflops, so 1000x more computing power and 4K UHD can also the new. but always buy only the 128 GB version (only that has Matter, Ethernet and just more memory).
Long story short, yes the new Apple TV 3rd gen box is worlds better and faster than anything Apple TV has ever been.
Yes, of course, the new A15 chip is much faster, k smaller, has no more fans and the metal remote control is of better quality and can now also be charged with USB-C. But: you shouldn't buy the 64 GB model, it's quite a bad buy, because for only about 6 francs more you get double the memory, the Gbit Ethernet connection and the Thread chip, with which you can also do home automation at some point, if you want to, and the resale value of the Apple TV 2022 without these things is zero. I wouldn't buy one of those. I only recommend this model with 128GB of storage:
Apple TV 4K 128GB (3rd Gen) (Apple Siri)
Yes, you can use the Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) even if you don't subscribe to an Apple TV+ streaming service. Here are some ways you can use the Apple TV 4K without Apple TV+:
- Rent or buy films and series: You can rent or buy movies and series from the iTunes Store and watch them directly on your Apple TV 4K.
- Other streaming services: You can also use other streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, YouTube TV and many more as they are available on the Apple TV 4K.
- Apple Music and Apple Arcade: You can also use Apple Music and Apple Arcade to listen to music or play games.
- Smart Home Hub: The Apple TV 4K can also act as a smart home hub to control your smart home devices.
- Photos and other Apple services: You can also view your photos and other content from your Apple devices on the Apple TV 4K.
The Apple TV 4K therefore offers a wide range of possible uses, even without the Apple TV+ streaming service.
With the Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) you can play videos from an external hard drive, but there are some limitations and requirements:
## Video formats
The Apple TV 4K supports various video formats, but not directly via an external hard drive. It supports formats such as H.264, HEVC, MPEG-4, but not MKV by default.
## Apps for video playback
You can download apps like Infuse that support MKV and other video formats. Infuse is a popular app for the Apple TV that can play a wide range of video formats, including MKV.
## External hard drive
The Apple TV 4K does not have USB ports, which means that you cannot connect an external hard drive directly to the device. You will therefore need to use other methods to transfer your videos to the Apple TV, such as over the network or by uploading to iCloud or other compatible services.
To summarise: You can use apps such as Infuse to play MKV files and other video formats on the Apple TV, but you will need to transfer these files to the device via the network or other compatible methods, as a direct connection to an external hard drive is not possible.
