Apple TV3 optical connection to Denon AVR-1705 fails.

Are these two compatible at all? Has anyone ever set them up successfully?
The optical cable from ATV3 is connected to the Opt2 input on the Denon.
The Opt2 input is properly assigned to "TV" mode and the input mode is automatic. The system does seem to switch to ProLogic II as if recognizing the digital input - there's no sound however. Speakers work, and I beleive the optical cable works too as red light does come through. The ATV3 HDMI output is connected directly to a projector with no sound capabilities, and the picture is working fine but mute. Any suggestions?

A Monitor HDMI connection to me sounds like an HDMI output port - you may be connecting two outputs (AppleTV and Denon together).
You ideally need to connect AppleTV to an HDMI input on the Denon - if you don't have one spare you might need a separate switch.
Isn't there a simple set of HDMI in/out sockets ?

Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
Thanks for you help!

Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
AppleTV only support compressed format. Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable. I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

Apple TV3 dropping connection from iTunes...

Hi there,
I've read a lot of issues on the same thing but I wonder if anyone is having the same issue as me.
Thinking it was a hardware problem I secured a replacement from the store but I'm having the same issue.
I have a PC, Windows 8
BT Infinity (with their home hub, I'm UK based)
My Apple TV is wired directly to the hub (I have also adjusted the settings to give the Apple static IP addresses, I've also tried it with automatic IP)
If I boot everything up from scratch the Apple TV will play both music and my movies (both my DVD rips and those purchased from iTunes store and downloaded to the PC).
However, let's say when I've done the above I decide to watch a movie that is on the PC, it works and I can watch the full film or even a TV program. Then I decide I want to watch another film after viewing that one, that's when I get the spinning wheel. The Apple TV will recognise my iTunes library and display the movies but unless I watch something on the cloud I cannot view what's on my PC hard drive. Then after a bit the Apple is telling me to turn on home sharing. It already is on and my PC has no sleep settings activated, I turned them all off so unless I power down nothing will enter sleep mode or even powersave.
I then have to reboot the PC and open iTunes again.
Like I mentioned I've taken the first one back for an exchange, the same problem persists. I've also been on the phone to Apple who advised to power everything down for 5 minutes then turn the router back on followed by the Apple then the PC. That worked, so I then left it for 5 minutes and then the problem happened again when I decided to watch a film that I put on my PC hard drive. It seems that I have to choose what I want to do quickly but it wont work with further requests after something is played.
I am using the inbuilt virus checker that comes with Win 8 (Elements I think it's called) and I use Windows Firewall. I have tried creating a rule to allow iTunes to connect out on the firewall settings but this did nothing. I've tired automatic IP addresses and now trying static ones but again, no joy. Bonjour has been uninstalled, reinstalled, opened up connections in the firewall, basically everything I've read on this issue I've done.
I read somewhere about turning off the Dolby Stereo, and yes, you guessed it, nothing corrected it.
Has anyone had this problem exactly and any idea how to overcome it. Apple have suggested a clean reinstall of my PC, so I tried it, wiped everything and started again. Nothing, so I tried it on my laptop which has Windows 7 and it seems it's not localised to just one specific version of Windows.
Getting a bit fed up now!
As a last ditch attempt I also checked the serial number to see if it was an old unit that needed to be replaced but it's not. Oh, and I have also tried wireless and wired. That didn't change anything.
One interesting thing though, when looking at the settings for the BT Home Hub and looking at devices, when I know the Apple TV is connected it's showing as not connected. It appears as though it is dropping connection after it has perhaps synced the whole film from the PC. I can't think of a way to force it to stay connected.
Any suggestions?

UPDATE
This is now resolved, not with the use of the Homehub though.
After another conversation with Apple they asked me if the Youtube app on the TV works, which it does then there's a problem elsewhere! Therefore Apple think there's an issue with the hub or the home network. They also asked me to try something on the hub called Port Forwarding. However, because that the hub isn't an Apple product they are not allowed to advise me on tinkering with the settings. But did suggest to Google a website called port forwarding.
Having a look at that I tried what it suggested by connecting to the BT Homehub, you guessed it, that didn't work either. I called BT who advised that their technical help team that would deal with this has been disbanded and the person I spoke to gave me the port forwarding suggestion on Google.
At this stage I had had enough and after reading a few more bits of feedback I then looked at replacing the hub with something I could buy myself. This led me to Amazon where I purchased the ASUS RT-N56U and a modem to go with it. I ripped out the hub and linked the modem to the line in the wall and the router to the modem, I had to bridge the router to the modem and after that was done I set up the wireless.
I'm now very pleased to say that it works, everything is syncing as it should do and the speeds of my downloads have also increased. So far no issues at all. I also have a constant connection to the PC and can view as many films as I want that are downloaded to the PC. No lagging, no problems at all.
Bit of an expensive solution but the modem and router I bought can also replace a Virgin one should I change suppliers in the future.
If you follow this solution and are doing it the same with BT just Google the username for the hubs as it's the same for everyone, you can get that username from the hub if you connect to it but if you're like me and didn't think of that all the solutions you can google. I used the CD's that came with the items and I had it all set up and running in 5 minutes. If you do purchase the RT-N56U don't forget you need a modem, as that bit I forgot about and then had to order that via Amazon as well.
That's really all you need!

My apple TV optical connection is not working with optical to analog adapter after the update to 6.0.

When i bought the apple tv, i could listen to my iPhone's music on my home's audio system, which was connected to the apple tv through a digital to analog audio converter. It was working until the apple tv upgrade to 6.0. I tried connecting the apple tv directly to another amplifier with optical input and it worked fine, i tried the converter on the play station and it worked as well. I switched the DD on the apple tv settings from Auto to on and the problem remains. Any ideas?

Apple TV optical connection

Hey everyone

How to hook up a apple Macbook Pro to a Denon AVR-X2000 receiver?

I Hooked my Macbook Pro to my receiver and got a picture on my flat screen but no sound came out of the speakers. The sound only came out of the specker from the laptop. Can anyone tell me if I have to turn something off on the laptop or do I need a specail cable?

Thanks to Phone support from Apple I was able to try a few things to make this work. You hook up your HDMI cabe to your receiver and make sure you have your receiver on the right channel. You also have to have a HDMI cable going from your receiver to your TV, You should get a picture if you have your TV on the right input channel. For the sound to come out of the receivers speakers you have to go to your laptop and click on system preferences,, then click on sound, then Output and in there you will see your receivers name ( Mine being Denon) click on it and the sound should work through your receiver speakers. Don't forget to change it back when you are done.

Apple tv3 cant connect to server?

My apple tv 3 cant connect to the update server.
Any suggestions?

Yes, have an active internet connection.
Has router has been rebooted, all software on computer been updated.
When connecting it to TV it only shows that I should connect it with cable to iTunes.
So cant change anything on the ATV.
And when trying to restore it, it cant connect to update server..

My apple tv3 is connected via LAN to the Internet. Ipad 2 will not mirror.

Can I only mirror being on the same wifi network as my Apple TV or is there a work around so that I can still use my LAN for better Internet connectivity yet allow ipad connection thru AirPlay to stream and mirror to my tv?

no airplay is over lan not a point to point connection
if it was then changing between 1 appeltv and another or a shared itune lib on a computer would be painful slow

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.

Why Does Apple TV3 Slideshow Display iPhotos in Incorrect Order?

I have an Apple TV3 connected to my Mac running OS X 10.9.3. The Apple TV3 is connected wirelessly to the Mac. I have several questions:
Why can I not show Slideshows I have created in iPhoto on my Mac on the Apple TV3? I can only show iPhoto Albums from the Mac on the Apple TV. I have spent considerable time preparing a large number of iPhoto Slideshows and am frustrated and disappointed that they cannot be shown on my TV. Apple did not mention this lack of capability in their advertising, saying that slideshows can be shown seamlessly from the Mac to the TV. Is there any way to show iPhoto Slideshows on the Apple TV3??
When I use the 'slideshow' application on the Apple TV3 to view the photos in iPhoto Albums, pictures will randomly show up out of order. I cannot tell if there is a structure to the appearance. Sometimes a photo from day 4 of a trip will randomly show up on day 1, while later a photo from day 2 will show up again on day 6. Again, this is very frustrating when showing photos to family and friends, the prime reason why I bought the Apple TV3. Why is this random display occurring? How do I stop it?
I have videos from my cameras inserted into the Slideshows and Albums in iPhoto, which run as intended on my Mac without any problems. However the videos will not show up on the 'slideshow' in Apple TV3. Again, why not, and is there a way to show them on the TV?
I am a computer layperson, so I would greatly appreciate a response in simple English, without the jargon, if possible. I quite often have difficulty in understanding the responses in the threads for other topics.
Thank you in advance for any responses.

Actually, this is incorrect. You must have a direct reference to the component instance to access the clientId. Filling in a String value that matches the for="..." attribute in h:message does not work. Furthermore, since UIComponent.getClientId requires a FacesContext instance argument, you end up with something like this:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(
this.getComponent().getClientId(
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
new FacesMessage( "This is not I18N!")
V/s this:
this.getComponent().addMessage( "i18nKey");
I do agree that JSF needs some input to get better. Hence this post.

What is the optical output bit/sample rate of an Apple TV3 when using the wired network connection. 16/48 or 24/48.

It doesn't matter what type of network connection it has its output is 16/48.

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 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).

How to connect Apple TV using redmere hdmi to avr?

I have an Integra DTR-40.2 AVR.
I have an Apple TV 2.
I want to use an HDMI cable with Redmere technology, but I can't seem to get my Apple TV to work correctly.
I have the TV "end" of the HDMI cable plugged into my AVR and the Source "end" in my Apple TV.
Nothing displays on my TV.
Any ideas?
Jim P.

I have a Panasonic TC-P50VT25
It is connected to my AVR using HDMI1 port.
My ATV was previously connected to my AVR via the PC HDMI. It all worked just as I wanted but when I replaced the HDMI redmere cable, the ATV is connected to the source end of the cable and the TV end is plugged into my PC port on the AVR I can't get the ATV to work.

im having trouble connecting ipod to denon avr x1000

Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.
