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!

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.

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!

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!

Welcome to the Apple community.
The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

These are a few of the opotions, there are many more. search google or other engines, be sure to include the model/make and OSX that you are using, as it makes a difference.
If I had the make /model canera I would have been able to give more precise info. My wife does this and is not here right now, but I know she would want to know the camera info. Good luck and all the best.
Oh, check roxio, they have a large selection of this kind of gear.

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/

How to connect Apple TV's HDMI to HDTV's DVI connector?

My TV is equipped with DVI and VGA connector, the issue is how to link Apple TV's HDMI with my TV? DVI connector is for video only!! or I have to link apple TV's HDMI to VGA connector?

How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input. Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?
The TV is HD, but only has a component input and not HDMI. Apple TV 2g only has HDMI output.

but they are pretty expensive and may not work at all

Providing you have a free HDMI port on the TV and the location you would put the Apple TV will allow it to connect to your network, you should be good to go.

My samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio

my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio any suggestions?

Jeffrey-
If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input? I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried. I understand a composite video adapter is also available.

Using Front Panel Composite Video 2 RCA Jack on the HP m8000 Media Center PC

I have a HP M8000 Computer with front panel RCA jacks, composite video 2 and Left and Right Audio RCA jacks. I have been unable to determine how to select these jacks for inputting video recordings to the computer. Any ideas on how to use these jacks to input video from my VCR?

The front composite video jacks did not have software support for the release of this PC. The analog video software was not compatible with Windoze-Vista so there was no software given with this PC model that supported analog video input.

No. You can only use one sound output:
Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.
