you can just get a HDMI to DVI connector, like the one that ships with the Mac mini ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Caron To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 11:01 PM Subject: Re: Apple TV to stereo receiver
In my case i do not have a TV. I only want the Apple TV to mirror my computer and also to act as a air play receiver for my iPhone. If there is a digital output on the Apple TV then I should be able to find the correct cable to go to my digital input. These are connections I have never used before. My receiver is fairly old and does not have a HDMI or USB or Apple dock or anything like that. The Apple rep did not mention any other output then the HDMI on the Apple TV, so I will need to confirm there is a optical output. If present that should solve my problem.

Running HDMI to the TV sets up the TV to do the decoding but running an RCA pair from the TV to the receiver means you're only getting stereo. Now if you only have two speakers then that's fine but if you have the center, subwoofer and rear channel stuff you probably want to get the full 6-channel digital signal to your receiver somehow. Some newer receivers have HDMI inputs as well but my old Dennon just has the optical and coaxial (RCA) digital inputs. > > CB > > On 1/8/13 10:07 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland wrote: >> For one thing, you don't run the Apple TV directly into the receiver. I mean, I suppose you could if you had h d m i, but me personally, I ran my Apple TV via HDMI into my television, then I run my television out via RCA to the red white RCA in on my 5.1 surround receiver. >> >> Thank you kindly, >> >> Christopher-Mark Gilland. >> Founder of CLG Productions >> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Caron" <[email protected]> >> To: <[email protected]> >> Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 8:10 PM >> Subject: Apple TV to stereo receiver >> >> >> Hi listers, >> >> I am interested in purchasing a Apple TB to use with my stereo receiver. I'm not sure how to do this as I understand the Apple TV has a HDMI output and my receiver has something called a DVD optical in put, that is square. A single port called a digital input that is round. and analogue input with RCA jacks. >> >> Can anyone let me know if they are using a Apple TV with a stereo receiver, and let me know if any of my input options could work? >> >> Eric Caron >> > > -- > ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
