Maybe his receiver is not HDCP compliant and is blocking the DRM so the signal to the TV is broken.

Hmm, your second note is odd. I have my Apple TV going to my receiver using HDMI, then from the receiver to the TV using HDMI as well and the video goes to the TV just fine. That's the method I've used both for the 1st and 2nd Gen Apple TVs.

I am using one with a digital audio cable to the receiver, and it works well--you get the full 5.1. Note, I have tried using HDMI to the TV. I have TV audio going into the stereo, but the audio from Apple TV does not get passed on to the receiver from the TV.

Also note, I cannot get HDMI input from Apple TV to stereo to show up on the screen. A direct connection to TV seems required. Other HDMI inputs from the receiver show up on the screen.

I have read that Apple is trying to prevent piracy, but this seems pretty far fetched.

I don't have an AppleTV (used a MacMini hooked to my receiver) but the specs say that one of the ports is a Optical Audio connection in addition to the HDMI port. So I would assume that this optical output could be connected to the square DVD optical input using typical optical home theater audio cables.

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?
