How to connect my iMac to AV receiver?

I want to watch movies on my iMac but use Cambridge audio Aero 5.1 speakers through AV receiver Cambridge Audio Azur 751R. How do I connect my Mac to the av receiver? What cables/connectors do I need?
thank you for your help!

To do this the right way, get an AppleTV ($59 refurbished from Apple's online store), set up the AppleTV and  connect it to the AppleTV's Optical out to the Receiver & HDMI out to your TV. Then set up Home Sharing in iTunes on your iMac and finally wireless stream movies to the big screen TV from the AppleTV. Anything else is a kluge and won't work as well as  you would like. If you have a 2011 or later iMac  you can also use the AppleTV to mirror the iMac's content to the BigScreen TV.

    How do I connect my Imac to my TV ? Is there an easy way, Any body can help? I'm new to the Mac world.
    Thank you in advance

    What do you want to achieve? If the goal is to use the TV as an external monitor then get a mini display port to HDMI, DVI or VGA depending on the connections the TV has. You can find each adapter at the Apple Store either online or at a store close to you.

  • How to connect S750 to a Pioneer receiver

    My HDTV only has 2 component input. That's why I want to get a Pioneer VSX-050TX receiver to add several more inputs. Since I already have s750 in my computer, I don't want to get another set of speakers.
    I'm new to receiver and have no idea how to connect it. What I want to do is that the home theatre and the computer can share the s750. And I can also take advantage of the receiver's decode functions. Thanks!

    Most receivers will have 6 analog inputs for 5.1 audio (or 8 for 7.1). You will need two "camcorder connectors" ( http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cg...tem=SP-AVCABLE ) and one "male minijack to male stereo RCA cable ( http://shop.store.yahoo.com/chicagod...autostre2.html ). You can find the second cable much cheaper at RadioShack. Because I don't have 7.1 speakers, I can't tell you what to connect to where, so you'll have to experiment or wait for another poster. You'll plug the minijacks into the soundcard and the RCA ends into the receiver.
    You can connect the satellites of the S750 directly to the receiver's amped outputs, using the receiver's amp instead of the GigaWorks's. Plug the subwoofer into the LFE output in your receiver to the subwoofer in on the S750 amp (you may need another minijack to RCA cable), using the GigaWorks's amp for the subwoofer only. Note that many HT subwoofers have their own amp built in and do not use the receiver to amplify them. The LFE out on the receiver is unamplified.

  • How to connect my Imac to my HDTV

    I have a 2007 aluminum Imac and a 50 inch 1080p HDTV. is there anyway I could connect my Imac to the tv and control it via wireless mouse and keyboard... The rear connections on the tv are 3 hdmi, 2 component, s-video and AV.. Please let me know what is easiest, fastest, most reliable and produces the best picture.. Thanks so much!
    Also I might get the new 13 inch macbook pro, what would I need in order to connect that?

    I am not familiar with this new mini-DVI to HDMI cable. Sounds interesting. There is a Mac user reporting an issue in trying to use one of these in the Intel-based iMac display forum. He is using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI to HDMI cable plugged into a HDMI port on his plasma TV and nothing is happening. But he is also reporting the same issue with mini-DVI to VGA adapter and an VGA to VGA cable plugged into the VGA port on his plasma TV. So the problem may not involve this mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    I use Apple's mini-DVI to DVI adapter connected to a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable plugged into the HDMI port on my LG LCD HDTV with great success with my new Early 2009 Mac mini. The Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter came with my Mac mini and I bought the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable at the Apple Store when I bought the Mac mini. Both are also available from the Apple Store online for US$19 each.
    The MacBook Pro has a mini-DisplayPort. Apple also has a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter for US$29. So that could also connect with the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable.
    I did Google for a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and there are a few 3rd party venders of this adapter as well.

  • How to connect my imac to appletv

    I'm having trouble connecting my imac to my appletv thats on a LG smart tv. Can anyone explain? I've youtubed it, googled it nothings working.

    You need to upgrade to at least 10.8 to use AirPlay: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion. You can also upgrade to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) for free on the App Store. You should first make sure that your iMac supports AirPlay, since you still haven't mentioned what year it is. See: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201343.

  • How to connect my iMac G4 to my network, it wont let me something about the password but I connect to a open network???Ask your question.

    Hello I have been trying to connect my iMac G4 to my network but I can't. I have a secure network with a password and is not let me in but I can connect to an open network with no password??? anybody can help???

    AirPort card in iMac G4 does not support strong WiFi encryption.
    I think WPA is the maximum for that WiFi card.
    If you have WPA2 in your WiFi network, you need to downgrade (not recommended)or wired connect the iMac G4.

  • How to connect grace digital wifi radio receiver to airport express.

    Hi,
    I need to connect grace digital wifi radio receiver to airport express. The receiver works fine with belkin n150, however when connected to express as primary base station ( belkin switch off), it displays
    "Default gateway.......
    Port 80 not found. not connected"
    The conneted type is dynamic wifi network (POE + ). The express is set in bridge mode and configured through ipad.

    Hi,
    Called up the apple support services on Dec 9, 2013 and was on line for almost 1 hour without a solution. However, received a call back from team in Singapore on the same day and commitment to revert on the issue within 24 hrs. Received a call within 24 hrs and the entire discussion came down to the point that I have to manually set the grace digital equipment.
    I tried other options and eventually the simplest thing to do was to set the connection option to DHCP only and ignore the error.
    Now its working fine..

  • How to connect my iMAC to the time capsule(with cable)?!

    I bought the Time Capsule Machine and I tried more than 8 times to do the backup.
    Always it takes some days and doesn't finish. So, I thought maybe the problem could be the connection without cables. But I don't know how to do it, I tried without success.
    Thank's

    Thank you for helping me, but I already tried and didn't work... Maybe I put it on the wrong place, but if I did it, I really don't know where is the wright place...
    There are 2 different kind of place to put on the time capsule and only one on the iMac... I tried both!
    Thank you again

  • Need help connecting my iMac to my receiver

    I recently bought this product http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/RCA-mini-spdif.html
    the 3.5mm mini to digital coax. I bought it so I could hook up my iMac (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86810) to my receiver. However, I connected it, and no sound came out. On my receiver I kept switching the signal from analog to digital, to see if that would do the trick, but no luck. So then I tried connecting the 3.5mm to my iPod to see if it was just my computer that wasn't compatible, but that didn't work either. Did I pick the wrong cable? Or could it be defective? My coaxial cable for my DVD player works fine by the way

    Which iMac do you have? I have the iShight iMac whaich does have a digital out in the form of a mini optical out (through the output jack), you need to get an optical cable with a mini adaper at one end and make sure you select optical rather than coaxical on your reciver if you can...

    Apple has a good cable in the store, its the one I use. If its surround sound you will need to changed a pref in DVD player to let the sound pass through to the reciver to be decoded in DTS or Dolby Digital
    All that is assuming you want a digital connection and have an optical in on your amp, otherwise I look silly but you did say you bought a digital cable.

  • FAQ or "how to" connect to iMac with Airport????

    Is there a checklist or such that shows how to allow a Windows laptop to connect with the Airport Extreme on an iMac? It works fine with multiple iPod touches and a Sony PSP but I'm unable to solve why the Windows laptops won't connect. Each laptop (there's been 3) detects the network but will not connect.

    Is the Windows wireless compatible with the type of wireless network being created by the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)?
    Is the Windows wireless compatible with the type of wireless encryption being used by the AEBS?

  • MacBook Pro: How to connect to a Dolby TrueHD receiver?

    Hi there,
    As there are more and more Blue-ray video's coming out these days I decided I want to switch to blue-ray. Since I own a MacBook Pro (model 2009) I need to attach an external one.
    Though, what I wonder is how to get the best audio quality of my mac. Most blue-rays support Dolby TrueHD, and my receiver has an optical in for that. But how can I connect my MacBook Pro to my receiver, so that it truly is Dolby TrueHD (or DTS-HD Master Audio for that matter).
    Thanks!
    p.s. Specific brands or types of cables are appreciated, as I guess I'll have to go to the shop to get something.

    I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly (as your MacBook Pro can't play Blu-Ray DVD's) but you can connect the MBP Digital output to the receiver using a Toslink cable like this:
