I'm not using a converter.
the audio video is going through the HDMI port to the TV.
Now the HeadPhone jack sends the audio from the TV and apple TV to the speakers. I'm listening to my iTunes music through my powered speakers as I type this message.
This is exactly what I wanted.

How do you get the apple tv to play through your television? I know the HDMI port will send video and audio into your television but if you want to hook up a sound system, you have to have either a fiber optic cable or some kind of converter.

Here is a little more info for those of you thinking avout purchasing a Apple TV.
My TV has a 3.5mm headPhone jack.
I used that jack to connect to my powered amplified speakers, so now my TV as well as the Apple TV plays through my speakers without me having to purchase a optical cable and a AB system that connects to optical devices.
And now I have a question.
If I press the bottom right button three times, will it toggle VoiceOver on and off?

    Hi,

    Just open my new Apple TV a little while ago

    I am still learning it

    It seems great so far I could not play with it too long because I
    had to leave home

    You need a HD TV with a HDMI connection

        Hi,

        I’d like to get an apple tv box but I’m wondering what is
        needed to make it accessible for use on my tv?

        Also, I am interested in any other information that can be
        provided that would be helpful.  I know nothing about it.
