Audio Cable Requirements for New Apple TV

I'm about to order a new Apple TV. The specs are a little unclear on the audio side, as it says it has an optical audio output. However, does the HDMI port do audio out as well, or do I NEED an optical audio cable in addition to HDMI when my TV supports HDMI? Thanks for the help.

HDMI will carry audio. No need for a separate optical cable unless you want to run it to another device such as a receiver/amp.

  • How do to set up optical audio cable on an new Apple TV

    I connected the HDMI on the tv and the optical cable on the surround system but I just listen the tv.
    how can I set up the Apple TV with the optical cable??

    depend on your surround system
    I connect my appletv by hdmi to tv
    and I connect my optical to my receiver
    they both play the same audio so I mute the tv and just listen to the receiver
    both are sony and with the reciever I choose the inputsource they call BD which would be for blue ray disc because they name their optical input ports for some reason

  • Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.

    Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
    Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
    The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
    Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.
    This is the cable I see at Amazon

    If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
    You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ

  • Hi all, Please suggest a case where there is a requirement for new SOAP sender adapter module. I wanted to develop a module but in my current project i am unable to find any such requirement.

    You can try converting a synchrnous soap call to asynchronous using a custom module
    Here your module will send a response back to the sender system and make an asynchronous call forward

  • Documentation required for NEW OBIEE implemenation

    hi,
    which documentation are required for NEW OBIEE implementation? what r their standard formats/template (ie. AIM )
    Any one have sample doc for it? What is presales demo?

    Hello,
    Greetings! I downloaded the documentation library for OBIEE 11g as zip file on my win 7 (64 bit) machine. I did the extraction. It took more than 1 hour to extract. It was accessing the oracle site during extraction.
    Is it normal? Why does it go to oracle site for ZIP file extraction?
    It created multiple folders. I find some HTML file on the root folder of documentation on my desktop. If I open it, it shows all the documentation of Oracle products. If I click the links, it will not open the respective documentation.
    I did not find any getting started guide for OBIEE there.
    Any thoughts?
    Could you let me know the relevant OBIEE documentations for learning OBIEE 11g?
    What is the recommended sequence of going through OBIEE documentations?
    Thanks in helping me out.

  • I have working Netgear network. Want to add new Time Capsule and run 2nd network for new apple TV and Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC and Canon printer.

    I have working Netgear N600 dual band router network. The existing network has an XP netbook PC, canon printer, 2 Iphones, Epson Air printer, an Ipad, 3 roku boxes, backup drive. Just bought a new Apple TV box, and time capsule 2T.  I have an IMac on order but don't have it here yet.
    My goal is to add new Time Capsule and create 2nd "apple" network for new apple TV, Iphones, Ipad, Epson Air printer and new Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC, Roku TV boxes, and Canon printer and backup drive.
    The Netgear router, the time capsule and new IMac will be on the same desktop, I dont need to backup my netbook PC to time capsule.
    Where do I start?
    Which device connects to my modem first, the TC2 or the Netgear?
    Is it best wait for the Imac before starting or can the TC2 be set up from my Ipad or PC?
    Thanks.

    It is pretty simple..
    Setup the TC in bridge and plug it into the Netgear.. I would leave the netgear as the main router for now, although in the future you can swap things around. The netgear firmware may have issues with bonjour and airplay/airprint?? Does your ipad print ok now?
    You can setup the TC using Mac, PC (at least up to win7) or iOS.. they all have airport utility available.
    Bridge mode is set differently depending on the version of the utility. This is v5 and how the windows one will look (at least similar to).
    v6 will be as
    With the TC in bridge you will still create a wireless network.. and give it a different name from the netgear.. then all the apple devices can connect to it. Use ethernet rather than wireless if the imac is on the desktop with it. Much faster and better for using Time Machine backups.
    If you run into any issues.. just post the particular issue. It will take a bit of getting used to, but isn't hard.

  • True 7.1 audio cable setup for audigy 2

    just got the ZS and the Creative Inspire P7800 7. speaker set, and it comes with a 4 to 3 cable connector - 3 cables to the sound card and 4 to the sub. I read that I'm missing a connection to the sound card for a true 7. audio setup, but not sure if my card accepts 4 connections. People said they could just buy an extra audio cable for non-creative sound cards with the extra port for that 4th cable, but how bout for the ZA?

    Everything's working fine and I've followed the manuals - I just want to know how to plug in that 4th connector to the sound card to get that "true 7. configuration" I've read about. Some people would unplug the gray wire from the sub, get a new audio cable, and connect the sub and a (non-creative) soundcard that has the additional output (a line 4 out I believe, while the audigy has 3).

  • OSX requirements for new 7th gen Nano?

    I bought a new iPod Nano using the the system requirements listed on Apples home page as a guide. It states 'OSX10.6.8 or later' and 'iTunes 10.7 or later'.
    I have an older iMac and can not upgrade my OS past 10.6.8. I also have iTunes 11.4 and don't think I can go any higher with iTunes &  OSX 10.6.8
    The potential problem is in the Apple Nano manual. In system requirements is states 'OSX10.7.5 or later' and "iTunes 12.1.1 or later'
    I spoke with Apple tech today and they said the manual was new (Sept. 2014) and they list higher OSX and iTunes system requirements but only because it was a newer manual??? WHAT!
    If the Nano STILL only requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher then why does it now list a newer OX10.7.5? The person in Apple support could not answer that question. She thought it should work, but it will be rather difficult to return to Best Buy after removing the OEM packaging and trying to transfer music from iTunes on my iMac.
    I know this iMac is getting old and will replace it at some point with a new OS, but don't want to buy a new computer just to load music onto a $150 music player!

    Thanks, deggie.........
    I did use the Apple online store for my info and based my buying decision on this info, correct or not. I then got into the manual to get familiar with the Nano features and saw these conflicting minimum requirements for both OSX as well as iTunes versions.
    I bought it from Best Buy, not the Apple store, and I have a feeling they might not be as easy to deal with for a return of a open / used iPod Nano that didn't work for me.
    Hopefully the Apple Stores info is accurate and I will have no OSX or iTunes issues.
    If anyone IS using OSX 10.6.8 & iTunes 11.4 with their 7th gen Nano I'd love to hear that!

  • Replacement serial cable needed for an Apple Color Stylewriter 2500

    Hello,
    I have a question. I lost the serial printer cable for an Apple Color Stylewriter 2500, but if I order a replacement serial printer cable from we love macs, will the cable still work just as good as the original apple cable? I didn't want to have troubles with printing and data errors with the replacement cable. Or should I try to get as close to original one as I can?
    Any help would be really appreciated. Many thanks.

    With Apple, you only have 14 days to return a product. Due to the design of the iPad, there's no way to make any changes - color, battery, screen glass, amount of memory, etc -  to the iPad.

  • Recomended Broadband Speeds for new Apple TV

    I was about to purchase an Apple Tv earlier today, but wanted to check the recommended broadband speeds for the service.
    We suffer from speeds of 2.5mbps; probably not a problem with Apple TV - being able to download to the HDD for viewing later. However, streaming only is a little concerning - especially as we'd be looking at HD stuff.
    Have Apple said what speeds are required? Is contents buffered to some sort of memory until it is ready to be viewed.

    The avatar HD film was 5.8gb in size from the itunes store. My internet speed is usually around 9.8mbps but can drop down to 7mbps in busy times. I rent HD films a lot and it usually takes about 20 seconds to 1 minute from pressing rent to being able to play the HD movies. Only once have I had an issue with the film freezing up half way through, it turned out the internet went down on my ISP side of things.
    As apposed to having 2.5mbps I am not to sure on times but it would just be a case of waiting longer at the beginning before pressing play, for the film to build up in the buffer so you don't catch up to where the film has got to in downloading. That is if my understanding of the apple tv downloads and plays at same time is right! If I am wrong I would be very interested in knowing exactly how it works.
    But to answer the question at the beginning I have not seen an official minimum download speed for the apple tv but looks like from other peoples experiences you can't go wrong with something bigger than 6/7mbps.
