Hi, For this Tim, I have a Harman Kardon Receiver with HDMI inputs, and HDMI going out to the TV. The TV does not need to be on when I am listening to music and I've even had the TV set to the incorrect input on occasion and the Apple TV still sends the audio to the receiver. Not sure if having the TV makes a difference, but I doubt it.

I was under the impression the Apple TV only had a power cord and cdmi out, so not sure what you guys are talking about optically? The sound bar I am looking at is the Wilton Sound Bar with Bluetooth sold on Amazon as it has a ton of input and outputs, and I think the only thing I would be using would be the volume so once I figure that out would not need sighted assistance to work it, the amazon ad mentions it works with gaming stuff but does not mention the Apple TV, here is the link if anyone wants to take a look at it.
