Apple TV 3 only outputs PCM to Yamaha HTR-5063

I have just purchase Apple TV 3 and connected it via HDMI to Yamaha HTR-5063 receiver. For some reason, I cannot get anything other than PCM sound output. I tried to preview some movies which should be playing in 5.1 sound, however, that only plays PCM. I tried changing various settings on the Apple TV and still the output is only PCM.
The AppleTV 3 is connected directly to the receiver, so I am not sure what could be the issue.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

Well, actually, it seems that when I play movies from my IPAD I do get something other than PCM. However, from my iMac I only get PCM. Is there is something special I need to do with OSX to enable better streaming to Apple TV?
Thanks.

I read that the apple tv 2nd generation output resolution is 1080p but the one i have only list up to 720HD my Tv is a Sony KDL-42EX440 capable of 1080

No, second generation AppleTV outputs 720p HD only, the 3rd generation outputs 1080p.
2nd gen can decode 1080p in theory but the output resolution maxes out at 720p.
If it's any consolation AppleTV 2's can fetch good 2nd hand values compared to ATV 3's.

80GB ipod only outputs in black and white

I just bought a new 80GB 5th Gen iPod and hooked it up to my TV and it only outputs the picture in Black and White. If I take my old 60GB 5th Gen iPod it will output a picture no problem in color with the same TV and the same cable hooked up the same way.
All TV out settings are the same:
TV Out: Ask (I turn to ON)
NTSC
Widescreen On
Cable: Apple's iPod AV Cable M9765G/A
The weird thing though is if I take my new 80GB 5th Gen iPod and hook it up to my "MyVu" headsup display, it displays in color. It just won't do it on my TV.
Why won't it display color on my TV?

Try a different Video file on the 80 GB;to see if any changes? Are there any other title;s Videos are Podcast,
TV Shows that will playback in color-- if so It's possible that your file format is not compatible.
Check to see how the video files are define by format, frame rate etc; that your using as a reference to playback on TV.
See if you have any other Video's on the 80GB that will play in color.
Make sure your 80GB is using Itunes Version 7.0 or higher

Docked iPod only outputs sound during video to TV

I have a 5G iPod in an Apple dock, connected to my TV using a Monster audio cable and an S-Video cable. For some reason, it only outputs sound during videos or a photo slide show - not at all for music only playback. I'm baffled! Any idea why? It's a Panasonic plasma, and I've tried three different inputs. None work for music, but video is fine.

The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC. In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing". I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

How to set the AppleTV to output PCM DIGITAL via toslink

how do you set the AppleTV to output PCM DIGITAL via toslink - my amp can only recieve PCM audio via toslink cable

I am having the same problem. I bought an optical-analog convertor from Amazon (SANOXY) and had Onkyo try to help me set it up. No luck. I am going to try a Monoprice version. I was able to output audio through my DirectTV box to the Zone 2 speakers, so that isn't the problem. I was able to hear the music from my iMac through the AppleTV/Onkyo receiver on the 5.1 side but was unable to output it through Zone 2 to the speakers.
Very frustrating!!!!

My iPhone only outputs audio on the left channel.

Randomly and without changing any settings, my iPhone has started only outputting the left channel of stereo audio, i.e. when I play a song on it I only hear it through the left channel. I've tried different sets of headphones, same story. Also it has stopped responding to volume changes via the inline remote - play/pause still works....
What could be wrong??

I am getting audio output from only my left earbud. However, the volume control mounted on the right channel cable is functioning fine. I plugged in another set of earbuds and they seem to work fine.
Can anybody help? Or do I have to visit the Apple store for a replacement of earbuds?

Alsa Primary Sound Card Only Outputting Left Ear

When setting up my .asoundrc so my defaults were correct with my mic. Alsa got to thinking that my soundcard is only mono(or my sound card broke). Even with the .asoundrc asking for 2 channels it still only outputs the left ear. The sound was working perfectly fine before this and now refuses to go back even with the same .asoundrc as before.
I have tested and made sure that the cable or my mixer is not at fault. My other sound card in my computer still functions in stereo.
.asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixed"
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixed"
pcm.dmixed {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm {
type hw
card CA0106
rate 44100
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192

What model of CA0106 are you using? According to http://alsa.opensrc.org/Ca0106 there are 3 different models. You can look up your default alsa configuration devices with:
less /usr/share/alsa/cards/CA0106.conf
There may be some differences with default bindings with different models. Check if there are any hardware switches/paths configured:
alsamixer
and hit F5.
Your .asoundrc does not seem to be ok. Try something like this:
pcm.!default { type plug;
slave.pcm "ca0106"; }
pcm.ca0106 { type asym;
playback.pcm "dmix";
capture.pcm "cap"; }
pcm.dmix { type dmix;
ipc_key 1024;
slave { pcm { type hw;
card CA0106;
rate 44100;
period_time 0;
period_size 1024;
buffer_size 8192;
channels 2; } }
pcm.cap { type hw;
card CA0106;
#Change to correct device or delete next line
device 0; }
ctl.!default { type hw;
card CA0106; }
I left bindings out, so alsa can default, but if nothing happens, try:
pcm.dmix { type dmix;
ipc_key 1024;
slave { pcm { type hw;
card CA0106;
rate 44100;
period_time 0;
period_size 1024;
buffer_size 8192;
channels 2; }
bindings { 0 0;
0 1; } }
instead.
You can also set rate to 192000 if your model supports it, the type plug plugin takes care of making any stream compatible to it.
I am a bit rusty on alsa configuration, since I have done mine a very long time ago, you may want to check it for some hints http://pastebin.com/sG3kuPLu.
Edit: The formatting may not display closing brackets }, but they are there. Copy the whole code.

I need to change from Japan App Store to Australia App Store. I get this every time I try using My MacID: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." What next TY. JohnCahill

I moved from Japan to Australia. I need to change from Japan App Store to the Australian App Store. I get the following message every time I try using My MacID which was set up in Japan: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." At one point... by which path I do not remember... I was instructed to created a new ID. I fill out the new ID forms, but the address is rejected each time... quite confusing. Does it want a new name? But it says I cannot use an apple domain (tag?) even though I guess it has to be an apple address... ? So I have iTunes crdit cards purchansed in Australia, can't spend in AUstralian iTunes Store, get directed back to Japan each time, and can't open a new ID... What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance. John. Australia.

You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.
Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

How do I change my Apple ID on only one device?

How do I change my Apple ID on only one device? I inherited my husband's iPhone 5. He cleared it but I set it up with same Apple ID so we could share same iTunes account. However, I realised that there are inconveniences such as not being able to Facetime each other. In addition, his iTunes account is UK-based and we'd like to also have a New Zealand iTunes account for various reasons.

Go to settings/icloud and sign out. Then sign in by creating a new Apple ID. Do the same in Settings for Messages, FaceTime and iTunes & App Store. Next, link your Apple IDs using Family Sharing so you can still share music and apps. Family Sharing - Apple Support

"This Apple ID is only valid for purchase in the US store" and I'm in the PH?

Hi! So originally my Billing Info was set in the US and today I wanted to upgrade my MBP to OS ML. I'm in the PH now so I changed my Billing Info and set it to my address here in the Philippines, but everytime I hit that "Buy App" button in the App Store and log in, I'm always taken to my Billing Info and even though I already changed my account info, the address that's displayed there is still the US one. I tried to change the country numerous times and set it to PH, but I always get the message saying my Apple ID is only valid for purchase in the US. I'm taken to the US store afterwards, and after I hit "Buy App" the same thing happens over and over again.
I've been trying to figure this out for over an hour now. What else can I do?

Try contacting the App Store support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
I sort of understand what's going on, but not sure why you weren't able to rectify the problem. Maybe the support folks can help.

How can I remove the Apple ID authorization only on one computer and authorize another in his place?

how can I remove the Apple ID authorization only on one computer and authorize another in his place?

De-authorize the computer in question.
Then authorize the new computer.
Or de-authorize all computers and authorize only the ones that actually exist.

Can I setup an Apple ID with only a Paypal account and NO credit card?

I recently purchased an iPhone and am looking forward to getting everything setup. I'm currently living in Japan and my japanese bank doesn't have a card that has the jcb logo, nor do I have a credit card. So...
Can I setup an Apple ID with only a Paypal account and NO credit card?

You can set up an apple Id without a credit card using this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
After that, you can login at iTunes on a computer, go to 'Account' and just change the payment information to something else.
NB: where I live, the only three options for payment are creditcard, iTunes gift cards and Click&Buy, not Paypal. It might be possible elswhere though, I'm not sure.
Good luck

All of the purchase you made on the old AppleID are permanently connected to that AppleID. The only way you can get rid of it is to repurchase everything again with the new AppleID.
