Apple TV HDMI to RCA

Ive been doing research on how to connect the new Apple TV to me TV that has RCA inputs. Im not sure if I can use a cord like this (http://www.dinodirect.com/ProductReviews/ProductID-32644.html) or if I need a hdmi to composite connector?
P.S. That is the only cord I could find online

I bought an HDMI switch from Monoprice.com. I do not want to post the link, because I have already had posts removed, as it is not permitted in these forums.
A switch may or may not work for you, as it is hit-and-miss at times.
I got a switch that had RCA component out as well. My TV only had a DVI inputs. I assume that your TV does not have an HDMI input, as if it did, it would not have a need for RCA component audio in.
This switch allowed me to route everything from the ATV2 into my TV with one device. The switch was about $60 USD and the cable about $7 USD. That was a small price to pay, considering the cost of some new TV's.
Your TV needs to be capable of 720P and be HDCP compliant though. Confirm that if you have not.
I hope you are able to get it up and working. The APTV2 is a great device, but has some compatibility issues, even with fully compatible new TV that have HDMI and are HDCP compliant.

Apple TV Setup - HDMI to RCA jacks

I need some help setting up my Apple TV. I have a Apple TV Gen. 2 and a Emerson TV with RCA jacks. I have a HDMI to RCA cable. I connected the cables in every way I know how and no picture comes up. What am I doing wrong?

As HDMI is the only supported method there is no guarantee

Dual Audio Outs? / HDMI and RCA Analog at the same time?

I am trying to figure out if the Apple TV supports dual audio output. My Onkyo receiver supports dual-room/dual-source audio (powered and line-level stereo audio output for 2nd room). The problem is it can only accept an analog source for the second room.
I know that HDMI takes precedence over component video connections if both are connected.
Will the ATV send audio signal out of the HDMI and RCA Analog jacks at the same time so I can enjoy streaming music is two rooms simultaneously?

I like to be a helpful soul, so I decided to pull the owner's manual from Onkyo and take a look at the receiver, without ever thinking about the model number, and come to find out, I have my Apple TV hooked into an Onkyo TX-SR606.
I appreciate that!
Iowabeerguy wrote:
Problem is, I have the HDMI into the Onkyo and the analog outs going to to another stereo receiver for the outdoor speakers. Both work at the same time, which means that the Apple TV will output both digital and analog at the same time.
Good to know.
Iowabeerguy wrote:
Now, let's look at the receiver - if you have the HDMI plugged into the - say DVD input, and it's playing through the main system, and you plug the analog outputs into the DVD analog in on the receiver, the Zone 2 out will automatically look at the HDMI input, and not put out anything to the Zone 2 outs, because it won't pass digital to the Zone 2 outs.
Oh yeah, that makes sense!
Iowabeerguy wrote:
I can't try it tonight, but I think if you plug the analog outputs from the Apple TV to an input that isn't assigned to an HDMI in, (like CD) and then set the Zone 2 amp to play that source, it should work.
I've set aside some "tinkering" time this weekend to try that. I'll let you know if it works; I think it will. Thanks again!

HDMI to RCA converter for Audio only

I purchased an Apple TV for the airplay for audio only and adding an HDMI to RCA converter (universal unit from Amazon). Is there any specifications I need to look for on the converter for this to work? I am aware of issues when using the video portion of a converter, but I don't see anything for the audio.

maybe easier to find a optical -> RCA converter as the optical is audio only
though heard some people repport that if hdmi is not connected optical is muted but don't know for sure
if I may ask then why on eath get an appletv for audio only
an airport express would do the same thing and a minijack already and is cheaper

HDMI to RCA

I know Apple TV 2nd gen only comes with an HDMI output. Are there any adapter cables that convert HDMI to the older 3-RCA TV cable hookups?

HDMI to 3 RCA refers to HDMI to Component RCA + L/R Audio (Yellow and Red-White). Btw, cables are not the best answers for HDMI to RCA transmissions in Apple Tv. This HDMI to Composite RCA Converter supposed to solve your problem: http://hdmitorcaconverter.com/hdmi-to-composite-s-video-converter-3-rca-crt-tv-c vbs/
If you need an HDMI to Component (Red-Green-Blue) RCA Converter, this one is rated as the best HDMI to Component RCA Converter by consumers: http://hdmitorcaconverter.com/2-input-hdmi-to-rgb-component-ypbpr-vga-2x1-switch -converter-with-5-1-surround-sound-support/

I need to go from lightning output to rca input in order to be able to stream purchased itunes movies over this monitor.
My approach so far was to hook up 1) Lightining to HDMI adabter 2) HDMI cable 3) STARTECH HDMI to RCA converter 4) RCA cable
My question now is, if it would play HDCP protected movies this way?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

HT1551 Apple tv hdmi splitter

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, you need an HDMI switch.

Photos displaying 16:9 through Apple TV HDMI ??? How do it ?

How can I display photos in 16:9 on a SONY Bravia through a HDMI connection from the 160GB Apple TV ?
I was surprised today when I used my iPod Photo on a widescreen TV for a slideshow, and even without HDMI connection, the photos displayed in all screen (16:9).
In my Sony Bravia the photos displayed through the Apple Tv (HDMI connection), use less screen.
Why is that ?

nothing you can do about overscan really, unless your tv has the option to adjust the picture geometry (most don't).

Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help! Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
Do I need a cable too and which one?
Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

HDMI to RCA 5

hello,
I bought a " HDMI to RCA 5 " cable to display my G580 (20150) laptop on the TV, But whaen i connected it nothing happen at all
can any one help me with : 1- the color code (i have it white, green, blue, red, red)
2- how to make it work

your G580 HDMI doesn't support RCA directly. You need a converter box to do that, they retail for about 40 USD on ebay.

Can I port Apple TV audio to RCA and retain audio from HDMI?

Odd situation: My Audio receiver only allows RCA Analog for the outdoor speakers and will allow, but will allow digital for indoor speakers. I want to get my mom an iPad so she can easily either play audio while outdoors (using the Red and White Analog) and at the same time have the Apple TV plugged into the HDMI receiver for indoor video viewing and listening to music.
What is the best way to transfer Optical into Analog (red and white)
Is it possible to switch from purely HDMI output (while watching video) to solely audio from the Optical port (which would be converted to Analog)
Can this be set up by me, but used very simply for a non-tech savvy woman?

no matter what then depending on the converter you use audio and video could very easy get out of sync

Hdmi, VGA, RCA adapters - analog hdmi?

So I'm a bit foggy on this. I have the iPad 1 and have the RCA and VGA adapters that work great. Now I can get the hdmi to work at 720 from what I understand. Isn't hdmi digital? Does iPad 1 output digital and analog? Will my RCA and VGA adapters work on the ipad2? It's a big deal to me to be able to use my iPad on older TVs without hdmi (cabin, deck).

Go to http://store.apple.com and search for this accessory: Apple Composite AV Cable
That will do the trick.

Apple Mini-DVI to RCA

Can anyone tell me which cables I need to purchase from Apple to go from the
Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter to the back of my tv (RCA tri-color connector)? After looking at most of the discussions, I typically see a generic statement saying I need the adapter and separate cables, my question is what specific cables?
Thank you all in advance.

The adapter looks exactly like the output on your mac and then turns into the three RCA (yellow, red, white) that plug into your tv. The only thing besides the adapter you will need to purchase is a longer cord to plug in from your adapter to your tv.

Apple TV HDMI problem

Hi All
This is my first time posting here. I just purchased an Apple TV and have tried to connect it up to the Pioneer Plasma (PDP50). I have a pioneer set top box, pioneer DVD player and recorder and pioneer Receiver. I can see an HDMI plug on the receiver but when I connect it from the Apple TV to the Reciver nothing happens. With the DVD recorder and Set top box I can’t seem to find the HDMI input. Also i can not locate a HDMI input directly on the TV. I am hoping someone can help me out here, as I have seen great reviews about the Apple TV.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers
Matt

It should work with DVI too, but there is still a problem with the Apple TV 2.
From the FAQ on hdmi.org:
Q. Is HDMI backward compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)?
Yes, HDMI is fully backward compatible with DVI compliant devices. HDMI DTVs will display video received from existing DVI-equipped products, and DVI-equipped TVs will display video from HDMI sources. However, some older PCs with DVI are designed only to support computer monitors, not televisions. Consumers buying a PC with DVI should make sure that it specifically includes support for television formats and not just computer monitors.
Also, consumers may want to confirm that the DVI interface supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), as content that requires HDCP copy protection will require that both the HDMI and DVI devices support HDCP to properly view the video content.
