Audio Connection To LCD TV

I recently bought a Magnavox LCD for dual use as a monitor. Bought the VGA cable. Forgot the digital audio cable. Okay, bought the cable. Okay, I forgot about the Mini having the mini-plug, so the cable won't work, obviously. So now I need an adaptor and I'm doing searches and come up with nothing. Can someone post a link or something for me because I don't seem to be getting anywhere here...

The mini's optical jack is a mini-toslink. You need a cable like this:

Or if you already have a regular toslink cable, you can just get the adapter:

No Video Signal new DVD connection to LCD TV

I just got a new SD-V296KU DVD/VCR combo and connected it to a 40FT2U LCD TV player I got last year. I followed the directions in the setup guide and owner's manual exactly, but I get a "No Video Signal" error on the television. Audio does work. I originally tried with an external tuner too, but still doesn't work when TV/DVD connection only. I've tried switching the connections around (standard yellow/red/white wires) and no change. Obviously everything on the "support" website has the same instructions and can't talk to anyone who can help....can somebody here please set me straight?

With the change to Colorstream on the TV, I now have color DVD and audio...thanks, Peter. However, I still only have audio for VCR playback; even when the selection is set to 'VCR', the screen only shows as "Welcome DVD - Toshiba". This also means I cannot enter VCR menu setup for setting clock, etc
Just to clarify the original quick posts, I added since I could not get assistance on phone and wanted to make sure whoever did see this was updated with where I stood. I originally hooked up r/y/w cables per directions in guide, but change to the green/blue/red using the white and red from other for audio. I actually posted a somewhat more detailed message later the same day (as my originals here) on the DVD board, but that apparently was taken down. Here's the exact connections:
40FT2U LCD: g/b/r- green = Y/Video, blue = PB, red = PR; w/r/y- white= L/Mono, red=R; yellow = bottom on Digital Audio Out; RF modulator cable in Ant/Cable box. These hook to...
SD-V296KU DVD/VCR combo: g/b/r on 'Component Video Out' in order Green top, blue middle, red bottom; w/r/y on 'DVD/VCR Audio Out' in order white top (L), red middle (R), yellow bottom (Video Out); also have w/r/y on 'VCR Audio In' in order white top (L), red middle (R), yellow bottom (Video In) leading to...
Zenith external tuner: w/r/y - white (L), red (R), yellow (video) and RF to TV plus separate coax to antenna
I am happy about the DVD, but this combo is no good without VCR too. Your knowledge sharing is appreciated.

Connecting 2 LCD monitors to my Macbook?

Hello Everyone.
Ok, before I go poking around and stuff something up, can someone please answer my following questions. I am wanting to connect two LCD 22inch monitors to my Macbook Pro.
1. How do I do this?
2. Instead of buying Apple screens, are there any other good LCD monitors that will do just a good a job?
Please help.
Thanks....I love my MAC

1. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/products/home.php
check graphic expansion modules
2. for serious work I would strongly recommend eizo monitors. current apple displays simply cant compete with them. They are very outdated and therefore overpriced. they have poor adjusting possibilities..in both picture and stands.

I lecture for a living. My old G4 connected to LCD projector worked great. My new MacBookPro connected to LCD projector - the displayed images look as if I used "pastel colors" instead of bright colors. Help !

I lecture for a living. My old G4 connected to LCD projector worked great; image displayed on computer monitor is same as that projected by LCD. However my new MacBookPro connected to the LCD projector displays washed out images, as if I designed my Keynote lecture using pastel colors. Also my black & white x-ray images are blue & white. Help !

Thank you for your quick response to my question. The Apple Genius Bar tried adjusting the color settings in my MacBookPro, as stated in the document you attached. It did not help ... my Keynote lectures are still pastel, and my x-rays are blue & white. I should have stated this in my original query for help.
Again, many thanks for responding.
Did the Apple Genius explain to you why it did not work or even if it's possible?

Bad audio connection

I have a 1st gen ipod shuffle, and it seems that the audio connection is bad. My left ear bud is not working. I even tried different earbuds. if I push the audio connection to one side, I can hear audio on the left side. How can I fix this? I looked all over the discussions and could not find anything on this. I also googled this problem, and it looks like I can order a broken one on ebay and replace the part? Any other Ideas??
This is no longer under warranty.
Thanks!!

See my response to your other post.

Connect 2 LCD Tv's to Mac Mini

I have an LCD TV in the lounge room connected to a mac mini via HDMI cable, is it possible to connect another LCD TV located in the bedroom & be able to use the wireless keyboard & mouse ( either by cable or wireless )

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can do that, if you want to connect to an iTunes library though with each, you will need a computer in both locations.

Does Apple TV and Optical Audio Connection work?

I've read several posts regarding this issue and I'm a little confused. Does the Optical Audio work on the Apple TV (generation 3), because I haven't been able get it to work. I get sound but no stereo/surround sound. Yet, using the same connection out of my Receiver for my PS3 I do get stero/surround sound. Have I missed a setting on the Apple TV?

Is there away I can check the Apple TV Optical Audio connection to see if it's working? The physical connection seems to be fine. Since the connection to A/V Reciever works, as confirmed by my PS3, I can only assume the Apple TV Optical Audio connection is faulty. Other ideas on how I might validate if the Apple TV Optical Audio connection is truly "broken."

Connecting to LCD Projector

Before owning my current MacBook pro Core2Duo I had MacBook Pro CoreDuo and PowerBook G4. With these previous laptops I was able to connect to LCD projector no problem. Now I am in Japan in big business meeting trying to connect my newest MacBook pro to the same projector as was working with my older Mac and nothing. I tried mirroring on and off, change projector resolution, change display preferences. Nothing. I had to copy my PowerPoint to someone who had Dell PC and work off it.
Any idea how to fix MacBook Pro that it would work with LCD displays.

Hi,
I had some trouble initially, too, but now I use the "detect displays" option and it usually works fine. Here are a few more tips copied below--these are not my own--but I forgot to make a note of who to credit.
Good luck,
Bill Durbin
Projector Troubleshooting
For some reason, Apple thinks it's important that you connect the VGA cable to the adapter first, and then the adapter to the computer, in this order. Have you done this?
Try forcing the MacBook Pro to re-detect displays by pressing F7 (or Fn+F7 if you have customized the function keys).
Go to System Preferences>Displays> and click on “detect displays.” Also go to Arrangement and then check the box that says "mirror displays."
Also try setting the resolution output to whatever the projector is (1024x768?).
"To detect the TV or other external device, hold down the Command (x) key and press the F2 key. You can also open the Displays pane of System Preferences and click the
Detect Displays button.
6 To adjust how the image is displayed on the device, use the Displays pane of System Preferences."

Jack-audio-connection-kit doesn't start

Hi,
I need jack-audio-connection-kit Daemon running for use in some other programs, but it seems it dies immediately after starting. See:
[ja@kamahl ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/jack-audio-connection-kit start
:: Starting Jack-audio-connection-kit Daemon [DONE]
[ja@kamahl ~]$ ps -e|grep jack

I know this is a bit dumb question, but I really have no clue where the problem could be. Do you?

hello,
i'm having the same problem, i can flawlessly run jackd either via CLI and qjackctl, test sound with mplayer, etc.

Best audio connection

Best audio connection ?
a) itunes computer via RCA stereo connection to home theatre
b Itunes computer streamed to Apple TV , Apple TV connected via optical cable to home theater
c) this I have not tried ... Itune computer connected directly via HDMi to home theater
Also does the sound-card in the computer make a difference ?
Antoine

I have Fredereih ataxia so my only hobby left is musique and no way I have the dexterity to insert a cd in a tray, I have 400 cd's all ripped at 196kb.
I love my Ipad with Itunes and the remote app to take control of my 5 computers in the house.
My apple tv is ok but I do not have a good internet connection.
In the room where I listen the most music, I have a small EEE laptop.
it is directly connected on a 925 pioneer receiver with 9 speakers (RCA)
Also in this room I have the apple TV connected via the Digital audio cable
Recently (I'm in Canada ) I have been using RDIO (Like Pandora) , they claim sending in 256 kb.
I now notice that here is a difference in Quality for the same file sent it different ways.
played directly from the Pc is not as good as if I use Airplay ?
a) should I resample my 400 cd's at 320kb ?
b) should I buy another Laptop with a good soundcard and a HDMI output.
I would appreciate any recommandation for any laptop under 1000$ ( Only Itune will be o n it.
Regards

"Choppy" audio connection

Howdy folks,
I've read the FAQs and the various other threads in this forum and I haven't been able to solve this problem of mine on my own. I apologise if I have missed something!
My girlfriend and I are trying to use an audio connection in iChat. Connecting to one another is not a problem, and the audio is typically crystal-clear and uninterrupted *at first*. Soon, however, it will cut out on my side (her side is more or less fine). Sometimes very briefly, sometimes for a second or two. Often it will happen once and be fine for ten seconds or so (never much longer than that, though); other times it will happen in rapid succession. The net effect is that it is difficult to carry a conversation with these interruptions. I'm hoping, however, that there is something I can do. Any ideas?
We are both running the version of iChat that came with Tiger. We also both have PowerBook G4s. My inet connection is to a university network via ethernet. My download and upload rates are, respectively: approximately 200 KB/sec and app. 45 KB/sec. My girlfriends inet connection is wireless with a download rate of app. 320 KB/sec and upload rate of app. 125 KB/sec.
Thanks for your help!
Charles Dobson

Hello, Charles
My hightest recommendation: You should upgrade to 10.4.2. It corrects several issues (including iChat AV issues) that were problems in the previous versions of Tiger.
Try this and any other relevant suggestions from Help for iChat AV 3 Problems.
The testing and tutorial suggestions in Using iSight with iChat AV might also give you some trouble shooting ideas if you are still having difficulty after implementing the above suggestions.
Also, being at a university, you might try at different times of day to see whether busy network traffic is causing problems for you at certain times.
If necessary, you can even take your PowerBook to an off-campus network to help determine whether the problem is in your Mac no matter which network you use to connect.

RE: Bluetooth Audio Connections Real or Imagined?

On New Yew Year's Eve I offered to do a French Quarter music mix to match the cuisine. My idea was to run Rhapsody play lists thru my iPhone 4s into a Miccus BlueBridge adapter which has a micro out which I ran a audio "RCA" y-cable into the Aux inputs of my friends audio system. I also wanted to use my Jawbone Jambox speaker to play in the kitchen. It seems that the process was either or. When the second Bluetooth device was connected (it didn't matter which) it cancelled out the first. Hmmmm. Then ran the micro to RCA from the iPhone's headphone jack (micro) and that cancelled out the bluetooth streaming. Ideally it would be tre cool to stream to a couple of bluetooth devices and/or a bluetooth stream and audio connect. Is this doable? Here are links to the equipment:

Audio Connections and K8T NEO FISR2

The audio connection on my Wavemaster case has the following connections:
R-OUT
MIC IN
GND
L-OUT
They are all 4 single pin connectors.
The NEO FISR2 has:
AUD-MIC
AUD-GND
AUD-MIC BIAS
AUD-VCC
AUD-FPOUT-R
AUD-RET-R
HP-ON
KEY
AUD-FPOUT-L
AUD-RET-L
Any ideas as to what the proper connections should be? The only one I’m sure on is the ground. I’ve tried a few combinations with no luck. I’m beginning to wonder if I have a bad daughter card on the Wavemaster or something wrong with the board???

Thanks SAB and southmike,
I'll try that, though I think I'm having sound problems in general. I installed an Audigy2 ZS. I'm getting no sound at all. Here is what is really strange. When I disable the Audio 97 option in Bios, Cool and Quite gives me an error saying that a device file can not be found and that cool and quiet is incompatible with my notherboard. When Audio 97 is re-enabled the message goes away
Any ideas?
