Apple TV 2/ Denon AVR 2311CI zone 2 issues

I have an original Apple TV hooked up to my Denon AVR 2311CI ss receiver. I needed to hook the red and white RCA cables to pass an analog signal to get the audio to pass through to zone 2. The next gen Apple TV has no RCA jacks, just digital optical. That does not pass the audio to zone 2. Has anyone tried this and got zomne 2 audio to work with the newer Apple TVs??

I am also having this issue (picture - but no sound) - but with an Onkyo AV Receiver (TX-SR674). And unfortunately, my TV doesn't have HDMI - just DVI - so I can't pass the AppleTV through my TV to get the audio to the AV receiver - or even get the audio from the TV's speakers. So unless I can firgure this out, I either have to return the Apple TV, or buy a new TV and/or receiver. As much fun as that sounds, I don't really have the spare coin to make it happen. I've tried every possible setting on the Onkyo (which I use with a DirecTV receiver and a Sony Blu-ray player just fine - using HDMI) - but no luck. The only way I've seen it work is using my Dell computer Monitor (which has HDMI in and analog audio out). So it doesn't appear to be a defective Apple TV. Oh - and I can't get any digital audio out of the Apple TV either. I tried two different AV receivers that have optical tos-link inputs.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers (and Happy New Year).

Apple TV to Denon AVR-887

I have a Denon AVR 887 and I would like to figure out how I can use the ATV. The Panasonic TV Monitor is a great distance from the AVR so the Video is from Component Connections. Audio is from sperate speakers mounted around the Panasonic TV. The AVR will not convert the HDMI from the ATV to the component output.
Is there a conversion cable or box that can take the HDMI from the ATV to a componet output for the AVR?
Will I also need the Optical digital audio output cable to get the audio into the system?
Happy New Year.

Yvonne,
For about $35 bucks you could try this device here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WBOQPU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwallab ouc00-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002WBOQPU
It converts an HDMI to Component so you would plug your AppleTV into this device and then the device into your projection TV
By Apple policy I need to let you know that if you visit that link we might benefit or even profit from it. This is an affordable solution versus buying a new TV and you can enjoy all the cool stuff of Apple TV

Apple TV and Denon AVR-2800

I am a total novice at setting up electronics. I think I know the answer but want to be sure...my Denon receiver is circa 1999 and has no HDMI inputs, just an optical digital audio port. This means Apple TV can't be setip to this receiver, correct?

Denon AVR-1909 and Apple TV reverting back to 720p

I have my Apple TV running through my Denon AVR-1909 amp (HDMI). If both units are off and I start them up, my Apple TV reverts back to 720p resolution. The resolution before I turned off the Apple TV is set to 1080p.
It wasn't until I ran the Apple TV through this Receiver did I start experiencing this problem.
If the receiver is already on, then the resolution on Apple TV remains at 1080p when I turn it on.
I'm using a Harmony One Remote to Turn on my devices. I have setup the functionality to Start the receiver first, then I have a created various delays before it starts the Apple TV, thinking that the amp needs sometime before it sends a signal. Even with this delay, the problem still exists.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue, and is there a fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Denon AVR-X1000 and Apple TV

Does Denon AVR-x1000 cooperates with Apple TV 3rd generation perfectly?
Is someone tried that?

Apple TV--- Denon AVR-4306

I am trying to hook up my Apple TV to my Denon AVR-4306 Receiver and have not been able to get any audio or visual on my Pioneer Plasma TV. I hooked the Apple TV up via HDMI to the HDMI input # 3 and I assigned Input VCR-2 to HDMI input 3. When I go to VCR-2 input I have no audio or visual. Can someone please help me out with your suggestions. I am pretty new at this so I really appreciate any assistance.

bump. This is pretty frustrating. I just bought it but I can't team it up with my speakers and check it out in my plasma display. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

Macbook Pro with Denon AVR-X3000 / sound problem

Hi there..
I have a retina macbook pro and I am trying to connect it to Denon AVR X3000 surround receiver via. HDMI
Denon is connected to the TV from HDMI out, so I have no problem with sending the video to the LCD via. receiver.
My problem is with the sound modes.
Normally, as the most basic example, when I connect my Apple TV to Denon and LCD with the same HDMI way, I get all the digital sound modes such as Dolby Prologic II, Dolby True HD, DTS: Neo6 etc..etc... And I get a very quality sound, with all the channels seperated etc.
But when I connect my Macbook Pro to the system with the same way, what I can only get from the receiver are : STEREO, MULTI CHANNEL IN, MULTI CHANNEL STEREO and VIRTUAL.. I do not see any DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.
Also, I can only get the "surround effect" from "MULTI CHANNEL IN" sound mode, but this time the audio quality is really bad...
Tiny Apple TV gives me great sound but MB Pro cannot..
I have tried to change some settings from the AUDIO MIDI setup, I chose 5.1 multi channel but nothing happens from here...
By the way, I am using Mac BluRay player and I am running bluray films from my computer.
In my opinion, MBP cannot send high definition video and dolby-dts-prologic sound to the receiver at the same time..
I don't have quite experience about this issue, maybe it is something, very simple. But I couldn't manage it.
Maybe MBP is not capable of doing this... If so, I will be really disappointed because I was looking forward to purchase a Mac Mini and use it as a HTPC..
All suggestions, recommendations are highly appreciated... THX

Hi, i don't have a solution but i can share my experience with you which is similar. Mac Mini connected to Denon. On Mavericks OS btw.
two things.
1. i was fiddling with the System preferences at one time, under Sound, playing around with the output options, honestly forgotten what i did but i managed to get into all the options as per normal, such as Dolby Cinema. Problem is, once i restarted the Mini, the same problem occured. Only those as u mentioned, Multi IN etc.
at this point, i am still trying to figure out.
2. I tried switching to windows, and the problem disappear. Meaning, the sound mode options are as per usual.
u have any luck yet ?

Apple TV, My Receiver, and Potential HDMI Issues...?

Hey all
Okay, I'm about to bite the bullet and snag myself an Apple TV, but I have a couple of wicked-fast questions that I think I know the answers to — but I'd like confirmation.
1. If I get an Apple TV, I want to run it through my main receiver, so my plan would be to connect the ATV HDMI to my receiver like all my other components (my Onkyo has a single HDMI out, BTW). This will treat the ATV like all my other components as far as sound through my mains, etc.
Am I correct to assume this will work? Apple's docs seem to want you to connect directly to your TV...
2. I have heard that upon upgrading to the v3 software that was just released, some people are having issues with the ATV recognizing when the receiver has switched to it, making an ATV restart necessary. Anyone having that problem? I feel it may be because these people are using legacy receivers...?
THANKS!

I've got a brand new Denon AVR 4810Ci receiver that is current to the HDMI standard. I've got no other issues with HDMI sources other than the AppleTV.
The problem is that the tv currently meets the HDMI standard too.
So it's a little more complicated than just being tested to receive certification.{quote}
Which must mean software / firmware. I also have 2 other devices passed through my receiver, connected by HDMI, without issue. Nothing on my set-up, software or hardware wise (both box and cable), has changed for about 2 years except for the various Apple TV updates. No problems with v1 or v2, yet v3.....

Denon AVR 1709

I cannot get Apple TV to work through my Denon AVR. Is this a common problem as I have now heard that there maybe compatibility issues.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Connect the Apple TV to the TV directly temporarily to eliminate any possibility the problem lies with either of these devices.
Check your Denon manual to make sure that any port mapping has been carried out properly.
Try powering up the devices in different orders, the Apple TV may not turn on if it is unable to detect a supported TV.
If necessary you will have to connect the Apple TV and TV directly and connect the receiver to the Apple TV by optical cable for audio.

ITunes does not see Denon AVR-3311CI

I updated Firmware and added the AirPlay feature to my Denon AVR-3311CI. Called Denon support. Denon says that Airplay is loaded. They verified this by having me go to 'Add New Feature' and if the Airplay option doesn't appear, I was told that means that Airplay is loaded. When I launch iTunes, iPod Touch, or iPad, the 3311 does not show up as a device nor does the AirPlay icon show up in the bottom right corner of iTunes. I have File Sharing turned on the Macs. The Macs can all see each other. Macs & 3311 are hardwired to same router. iPad & Touch use Wi-Fi obviously. Router is a Linksys WRT54G. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here's a few things you can try:
- If you haven't tried disabling your anti virus software and turning off the Firewall, do that then restart your PC and the iPod.
- Try another cable to make sure it's that that
- Try connecting to another computer to verify that your computer is not the issue
- If none of these work then your iPod might need service. Take it to your nearest Apple Store

Apple tv2 connect denon reciever.

hi there,
i just bought a Denon AVR-x2000 reciever, pluged my Philips 46plf7007 tv to it, and connected my Apple tv gen 2, to the reciever with HDMI.
it just says "Not supported videoformat"
i rebooted it twice, the second time it worked 80% for a couple of hours (no airplay from phone or ipad, only from mac air) but then i tried opening netflix an it turned blackscreen and popped up with the "not Supported Videoformat" sign.
anybody got a clue?
many thanks
the Dane.

Did anyone ever figure anythign out with this. Just got a AVR-X2000 and having tons of video issues with Apple TV and xbox 360 input sources when I try to run them at 1080p

ATV and Denon AVR

Just got an Apple TV. I've hooked it up to my home theater (to a denon AVR-4806) receiver via component and optical cables. I hooked the component cables into my DBS ports. The ATV works fine as long as I select Pure Direct as the sound mode and I get sound out of the r,l and subwoofer channels. If I try to get the sound to go to my 5.1 speaker system, the sound goes to all speakers but then I lose the picture on the TV. Anyone have a solution to this problem or is it a limitation f the current software?
Thanks

The Denon should have an auto detect mode for the optical audio data. Try that and see if that works. Still puzzling why the audio mode changes the video unless the component video inputs somehow are being switched off when you change the audio mode.
I elected to just run the component video right to my HDTV as I only have one component video source, the Apple TV. I use the Denon AVR3300 to do the audio source switching only for the ATV.

54GS ver2 DHCP and static Denon AVR IP

I have a WRT54GS ver2...older model. Some models have DHCP Reservation that allows the same IP to be reestablished with the connected wireless device. This model does not have that....wish it did. I need to get the same IP with my Denon AVR (audo video receiver) each time.
Ok, So my 54GS is setup for DHCP 192.168.1.100 with 7 connections. Only using 5 of these.
If I set an IP in my Denon AVR with a static IP of 192.168.110 (outside the .100 to .106 range) and the Gateway is the IP of the 54GS, Sub, DNS1, 2 as for my TCP/IP connection....then I should be able to connect to the router and dsl modem......I am unable to get the Denon to connect?
The Denon is connected via a wirless bridge..Buffalo Ethernet Converter that uses DHCP to connect to the 54GS. Does that mean I can't use a static IP in the Denon that connects hardwire to the Buffalo?
How to get the Denon to see the router?

The puzzle continues.........
I have the Router Gateway IP set at: 192.168.100.100
The DHCP server in the router is setting: 192.168.100.101-.103
I have the Denon IP set: 192.168.100.121.... will not connect to the Internet...does connect to the network.
I have a DirecTV IP set: 192.168.100.120......connects to the Internet and network.
Why the Denon will not connect to the Internet is the puzzle, especially since the DirecTV is connected via the same bridge and using the same IP setup as the Denon. I tried UPnP on/off...no difference.
The Denon and DirecTV are both connected to a Buffalo Air Station (wireless Ethernet Converter). Same ports, connections as with DHCP in use and working.
The DirecTV IP is set at 192.168.100.120; the Denon 192.168.100.121.
Gateway IP, Subnet Mask, DNS, all set the same in both. All other sources use DHCP in the .101-.103 range.
DirecTV connects to Internet....Denon NO.
Both work when using DHCP via the router just fine. Just wanted a static non-changing IP in the Denon for use with FW updates/issues.
Stumped!

Uverse input on Denon AVR not providing audio

I have my Uverse DVR connected via HDMI to my Denon AVR-X2200 connected to my TV via HDMI. When switching through several stations quickly on SD channels, I get no sound. This does not occur when going through HD channels.
I have already tried rebooting the box, I have rebooted the box and gateway, I have tried setting the resolution to 720p and I've tried turning off Dolby Digital, none of the above has helped. I know this has to be an issue with the uverse equipment as none of my other inputs are having this problem. The uverse boxes are Cisco boxes, I'm having issues with the main DVR as well as the satellite boxes. I have no intention of using optical and component cables as I'm not paying for the service so that I can view things in a sub-par environment. Component video is awful.
Is there a solution to this problem, or do I have to buy older equipment just to handle Uverse's equipment?

Just because your audio doesn't go over HDMI doesn't mean your picture has to not use HDMI, and it should also be noted that Component may actually give you a better picture than HDMI.
So... why won't you use optical for audio?
Also, since this is SD channels, which are stereo only, you could use the L/R audio cables for that, though switching the amp between the stero inputs vs the HDMI for HD could be problematic. Optical wouldn't have that issue

Denon Receiver Replacement Issue

I bought a Denon AVR-890 less than 2 months back at 50% off at Bestbuy. I did not purchase a protection plan. I've been having issues with the picture and dropped it off at Bestbuy for repair since the product comes with a 2 year warranty.
After almost a month someone from Geeksquad just called me and said that the item cannot be repaired and that I will be given a $400 credit to purchase a new receiver at Bestbuy.
In my opinion, this is totally unacceptable since for $400, I won't be able to get a similar receiver at Bestbuy. I was also reading Denon's warranty policy and this is what it says:
"If during the applicable warranty period from the date of original consumer purchase your DENON product is found to be defective by DENON, DENON will repair, or at its option, replace with new, used or equivalent model, such defective product without charge for parts or labor."
So, I would think I should receive an equivalent product(new or refurbished) for free without any charge to me.
What Bestbuy is offering will give me an equivalent product, provided I pay a lot of money from my pocket.
How can I get this resolved?
TIA.

I have 3 Denon receivers and they are all excellent. My oldest one is the AVR2000 with the original Dolby Prologic. I bought it in 1996 and it still works like brand new although I don't quite have a use for it at the moment. I also have a 2802 and a 3806. Very very happy with Denon. Definitely give them a 2nd chance and do a search for Batpig on Yahoo or Google for setup info.
Thanks for the tip and words of encouragement I will use batpig to setup my receiver.
