OK, thanks, Daniel, I must not have been paying attention when they announced this. I guess support for Bluetooth speakers and headphones is a nice feature and you are correct, a 3.5mm or RCA Bluetooth dongle may very well work to get audio to an amplifier or receiver and these adapters are usually not very expensive.

I doubt the Apple TV can transmit what is playing via Bluetooth. It is my understanding that the the Bluetooth functionality on the Apple TV is for the remote and for using Bluetooth keyboards and maybe Bluetooth enabled game controllers.

I just don't want to run an appliance that I don't need to run to bridge the music to my stereo. I did find some blue tooth audio connectors that might solve the problem. I'll wait and see what the new Apple TV is going to be like for certain when it is released. _____ From: <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> viphone@googlegroups.com [ <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Angela L Griffith Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2015 3:03 AM To: <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A question about the new Apple TV with connections to stereo Wow, that's kind of a dealbreaker.

Right now there is an inferior sound bar on the Television and Apple TV because the Television does not have an Optical connection. We were told at the time of purchase that it did have one and by the time we realized it did not it was too late to return it.
