I recently purchased a Panasonic DP-UB820 4K Blu-Ray player, and a Panasonic TX-58GX800B TV along with a Samsung HW-Q90R soundbar.
I have set the equipment up as described in the manual, with High Speed HDMI cables purchased at the same time.
However, when I connect the 4K player (sand/or my Xbox One X which is also a Dolby Vision enabled source) to my TV via the sound bar, I am unable to pass a Dolby Vision HDR Encoded signal through to the TV. If I connect either device direct to the TV, then Dolby Vision is passed through properly and correctly.
The soundbar does pass through standard 4K, HDR10 and HDR10+ signals correctly, it just does not pass through Dolby Vision.
I have properly enabled Dolby Vision for the 4K player and Xbox during these test.
Should the soundbar be passing through the Dolby Vision signal or is it incompatible with that?

I can't get DV to pass through my q70r soundbar either. I have a Nvidia shield and a visio tv. If I connect the shield directly to my TV it works but not if the soundbar is in between.

I already returned the soundbar. Went with a better setup

Have you enabled Dolby vision in the settings of the Apple TV 4K? There's an HDR setting and a Dolby Vision setting specifically.
