alternatively, for purely audio use, you could just use a DAC from the
optical digital audio port.
sorry to come in late on this, but have only just got my apple tv today, and
realized that it had a digital audio out as well as HDMI.
only thing I can't quite work out, is if it is supposed to sit on it's
square side, or it's round one.

Subject: I think I found a device that will let you hook your Apple TV to a
stereo with RCA plugs.
Hey there.
I'm planning on going to my Dad and Stepmother's for vacation. You may
wonder what's so exciting about this? Well, other than getting to see my
Dad and Stepmother, I wanted to take my Apple TV with me. Problem is the TV
I'd plan on hooking it to doesn't have an HDMI connection. It would either
have composite video, which is three RCA plugs, one for the video and the
other two for left and right audio channels. If it didn't have composite
video I'd have to use a coax connector, which is the screw on connector that
you hook the TV to Cable. I figured I'd be out of luck finding the devices
I'd need to connect the Apple TV to such a TV, but I'm happy to say I found
what I need. Tiger Direct sells an HDMI to Composite Video box for $60. I
also got the warranty for it which added $7 to the cost. If I need a coax
connector I can either take a VCR with me, or better yet, Radio Shack sells
such a device for $28. For Tiger Direct, go to
http://tigerdirect.com.
There's a toll free number that you can call to order what you need, which
is what I did. As for Radio Shack, most folks in the U.S. will have a local
store in their area.
I'm pleased to find the devices I need. I'm particularly happy about the
HDMI to Composite Video adaptor, because this means I should be able to hook
my Apple TV to a TV in the bedroom that has a line in and video in
connector. Better yet you could hook a device that uses HDMI to a stereo or
TV that doesn't have HDMI capability.
I'm sending this note to the iPhone lists because I know that folks use
Apple TV with their iPhones. For those of you who are wondering, Apple TV
is a small box that receives internet content such as NetFlix and Major
League Baseball, and iTunes content over a high speed internet connection.
It can be hooked to your internet router via Ethernet, or use WI-FI
Just sharing the information I learned.
GO REDS!
