Re: Connecting Apple Tv to an older receiver with RCA aux/ins
Thanks Steve--all! I got a converter from Radio Shack and am now streaming like a World War I telegrapher! (I guesws that’s a good thing, right?)

You can buy an HDMI to RCA converter. Amazon has a few of them. one can be had for around $20.00 to $30.00 or so. - Original Message - From: Bradford Trainham bradford.train...@sbcglobal.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, May 02, 2014 12:37 PM Subject: Connecting Apple Tv to an older receiver with RCA aux/ins The subject line says it all.

Re: Connecting Apple Tv to an older receiver with RCA aux/ins
Hi. I bought a digital audio converter from Amazon for less than $20. I do not remember the manufacturer, but you should be able to find what you need. You connect the Apple TV to the DAC with an optical cable and the box has left and right RCA jacks. I stream content to our Bose all the time. Hope this helps.
