So... what I did is, I have a surround sound theater system which has HDMI
in, and HDMI out. So I took one cord, ran out of the Apple TV, into the
HDMI1 source on the receiver, then I ran out of the receiver's HDMI out, to
the HDMI on my TV itself. So, what this allows me to do is, I now can
basically pipe all HDMI data being sent out the Apple TV into my receiver
before it hits my TV. This way, for example, I can turn my TV completely
off, yet still get sound out my receiver surround speakers throughout the
room, Then, if I want! to actually see the picture side of it, all I have
to do is turn on my TV, set its source to HDMI, and boom! I'm up and
running. It's a really really sweet way of doing it in my opinion.
Frankly, I loved my Apple TV before, but since I've gotten this receiver,
which is my very first 5.1 dolby/prologic surround unit, you'd not believe!
the difference it has made! It's totally spoiled me!
OK, as for the soundbar, I am not totally sure. I think it depends on which
one you get. Generally though, from what I understand, yes. They do have
HDMI on them. I can check for you to be totally sure. I got a friend who
has one, so let me call 'em real quick before it gets later, and I'll check
for ya.
Chris.

Subject: Apple TV Connection Question
I am finally thinking about getting an Apple TV, but am curious as I know
you have to connect it via HDMI, but am curious can I buy a Sound Bar home
receiver that has an HDMI input and then use the Apple TV without a TV?
Thanks, curious if you just need any receiver with a HDMI input.
