You did not specifiy if the Apple Tv was your only source. Do you use a cable box, dvd/blu ray player? Or, is the Apple Tv the only source you use?

Here are a couple denon's. these are in the 300$ range.

If all of your sources have HDMI, and your TV has HDMI, then i would think about this one, which is less expensive than the above options. The one below is 200$

I have personally bought stuff from this company. To this day the items that i bought from them, 8 years ago get used on a daily basis. Good luck.
