Cinch (RCA) Output seems to be dead

hi there
i'm a satisfied appletv user since more than a year, but i didn't use this device for about 2 months.
now my problem: i go to my screen over the HDMI port - works fine. the audio goes from the aux-ouput (rca) to my active speakers. this worked fine before, but now i can't hear anything.
the used cables and the speakers as well are okay, so the problem must come from the appleTV. if i turn up the volume to the max, i can hear very very low the music.
i did already a reset with no success. has anybody an idea?
thanks for ur help.

well that would be a new feature that you are talking about.. and it would involve apple licensing from Dolby in order to do the conversion which would make the product more expensive, so i'm not sure that's going to happen too soon in the future.
don't shoot the messenger, i'm just describing how the device actually works, not how it should work. it's not a bug.. it's by design. basically with this device, if you plan on playing movies through equipment not capable of decoding DD 5.1 then you need to include a stereo track.. when you are playing the movie press and hold play then right click to change audio track and choose the 5.1 track (which just lists it as the language) or the stereo track.. all movies in iTunes include at least a stereo track and most now seem to include DD 5.1 tracks..

  • I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
    Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case)  then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc.  It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
    So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
    good luck

  • Download link for Android version of Firefox Mobile Beta seems to be dead

    Didn't know where else to to write this: The download link on http://firefox.com/m/beta seems to be dead. I have tried both the /da and the /en-US version.
    I'm on Android 2.1-update1 on a Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro . All other downloads and apps work fine, so I think this might be a simple 404 (Btw.: I tried a couple of days ago as well with the same result).)
    Let me know if I can help troubleshoot it further.

    Sorry, Firefox is not available for the Xperia X10 Mini Pro. For more information, see:

  • Does the RCA OUTPUT ON THE cdx-gt56ui run both sub and preout? if so how do I switch it to PRE-OUT

    Does the RCA OUTPUT on the CDX-GT56UI Car Stereo have both Sub and PRE-OUT? if so how do I switch to PRE-OUT?

    Hello Richard,
    The unit has 2-channel Preamp Outputs  on the rear of the receiver, used for connecting external amps. This unit doesn't have Sub Preamp Outputs.
    The rear preamp outputs can be set in the menu to output a full range signal to the rear channels, or a filtered signal to a subwoofer. When set to subwoofer, the output typically has a selectable low-pass filter and is non-fading. You can change the rear preamp outputs by selecting REAR/SUB option under Setup menu of the unit.
    If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accepted Solution".
    Thank you for your post.

  • Firewire ports on Cube seem to be dead

    The firewire ports on my Cube seem to be dead, in that the Cube is not able to see an external drive connected to either of the ports (and the external drive can be seen when connected to another computer). Is that sufficient evidence to conclude that my firewire ports are dead? Is there any software test I could perform? Is it possible to repair the firewire ports?
    I'm afraid it's about time to retire the Cube.

    I see a PDF on the top of this search page. And a little lower down is link to a video on removing the board.

  • Does Front Panel Audio Work When Using RCA Outputs from the X-Fi Titanium HD PCIe Sound Card?

    I see that the rear panel headphone output is disabled when the soundcard RCA jacks are used.
    But is it possible to have the front panel audio output work at the same time that the RCA jacks are in use or is it also disabled?
    I am willing to tolerate inferior quality audio feeding my monitor and use the RCA jacks for my headphone amp.

    I was able to construct a work around for this problem. A Y splitter from the RCA outputs is an option but can degrade the sound because of the uneven load presented to the soundcard.
    Ten eleven inch Apevia CVTAUDIOE25 HD Audio extension cables were connected together in series to a SilverStone FP32 3.5 audio front panel bay. The extension cables were connected to the front panel audio connectors on the Titanium HD sound card and then the cables were run out of the computer case and up to the area near my keyboard. I connected the front panel audio bay to the extension cable and the bay sits next to the keyboard. When no 3.5 mm stereo cable is connected to the front bay near the keyboard the sound is normal out of the rear outputs. But when a 3.5 mm audio cable is plugged into the front panel bay audio there is sound out of the SilverStone front panel bay. The sound is still muted out of the rear RCA jacks when the plug is put in the front bay but it is only used when the main audio outputs are not required.
    The function for me is that the front bay serves the same purpose that the previous front panel 3.5 mm audio extension cable did.
    There are photos of this under a different user name on Audio Asylum PC Audio.

  • New C310 - Wireless working FAIL - Printer's wireless network seems to be dead

    Product: HP Photosmart Premium C310
    OS: Windows Vista 64 bit and Windows 7 64 Bit
    Error: Wireless working: FAIL
    Changes: No changes since this is the first install of this printer ever
    Description:
    I've just unpacked my new C310 as a replacement for my older HP Inktjet 3845.
    But when trying to install the wireless network everything I try seems to fail.
    Printer doesn't detect my wireless network (blue wireless led is blinking 1sec on - 1sec off )
    HP Network test tool on my laptop (standing next to the printer to test it's location ) gives no issues whatsoever, wireless network is strong and working very well.
    Settings of the wifi connection are WPA security, no WPS, Channel 11, ... .
    When I run a Wireless Network Test report from the printer menu, the result is (= printout)
    * Wireless On => PASS
    * Wireless Working => FAIL
    * All the other points below are on status NOT RUN so no connection at all ...
    Solutions tested:
    Tried to reboot printer while waiting 1 minute in between => No result
    Reset to factory settings straight on the printer => No result
    Tried to run the Wireless network Setup Wizzard several times without merit.
    Explanations on the forums seemed to be that this might be a faulty wireless network card in the printer?
    Since this is one of the reasons of buying this item, I do need it to work.
    Can anyone provide me advice/next steps?
    Kind regards,
    Raf

  • DVI to Video Adapter: Using S-video vs. RCA output to TV

    I just purchased a DVI to Video Adapter for my MacBook Pro 15". I'd like to display iPhoto slide shows on my TV. Will there be a difference in picture quality on the TV if I output from the Mac (thru the DVI to Video Adapter) using an RCA cable versus an S-video cable?

    S-Video is the better of the two interfaces. Neither is very good when compared with a computer screen, which will have much higher resolution. I doubt you will notice much difference between S-Video and RCA Video but if you have the choice you might as well go S-Video.

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
    thanx

  • N8 RCA output, No Video!

    Hi!
    I wanted to see some videos on my TV, so I tried to use a 3.5mm Jack - RCA cable I had at home.
    I set the TV out option as default, left the default TV settings (Normal size, PAL code, and Unactive filter) and plugged the cable.
    On a CRT TV I see a stream of blinking white stripes and no audio.
    On a LCD TV I get the "no signal" message all the way, and audio works fine.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    (The cable is not a Nokia cable, but as far as I know those cables are all the same, isn't it?)

    Okay, it was my cable architecture that was kinda stupid, trying to play a stereo song, I figured out that the 2 audio cables, were a mono sound duplicated... So my phone seeing only 2 channels thought that they were a stereo output. To be sure of that I plugged the yellow cable (the video one) in an audio input (red or white), and the output was a sound signal!
    I went to a friend's to ask him to borrow me his CA-75U, and everything works fine!
    I'm sorry for this nearly useless topic

  • Any car charger with line level dock RCA outputs?

    Hello,
    My new car has RCA aux input jacks. I am looking for a car charger that will plug into a standard cigarette lighter type plug that also has the dock line level output with RCA plugs so I can keep the iPod charged and hook it up to RCA. I'm not interested in a headphone jack based RCA plug since that's not the line level out.

    Found it cheap! $28.88

  • Documents in the cloud seems to be dead after update

    After the latest update (Mac and iOS) iCloud Documents is no longer working. icloud with calender and contacts is working but not documents in the cloud.
    I use iwork on all my devices (iPad/iPhone/Mac) and it worked well in the last year. Now all functions are dead.
    No up/download from/to Mac. Tried log out/log on to iCloud no change. Tried to connect via browser, but after selecting Pages or any other iWork app i'm always asked to give in my apple ID again. (This was working for weeks without any problem)
    Any idea?

    iCloud IS a disappointment. I am more than frustrated by the iCloud document service and sync. I teach and use a Numbers spreadsheet to keep track of my projects, grading and classroom attendance. I used to carry around a flash drive or use my wifi to exchange the latest updates to and from my laptop and desktop. When iCloud began I was excited about the possibility of accessing one file from two devices. But I am getting only upload failures and errors  every time I try to access the shared document. It appears that the file is saved from the laptop and is accessible there. But if I go onto the iCloud web site or try to open the document from another computer, the document isn't there or, more than likely, the saved document was uploaded incompletely. So now I have a local backup on my laptop, another on my desktop, one incomplete document on the cloud and the original saved on the cloud on my laptop. The whole system is unreliable.
    My fear is that since Mtn Lion saves 'local' documents to the cloud (unless you manually change the save to the hard drive), any document left up there will not be accessible by a new replacement machine or even a correctly inputted id and pw.
    I'm going back to local save, copy and replace method of keeping one file up-to-date on multiple computers and talk to the iCloud geniuses to find out what's going on. I'll report back.

  • N8 Tv (rca) output

    Hello .
    I´m trying to connect my N8 to my Tv (LG Scarlett 2) via an N95 Tv-out cable and i have "no signal" on the tv sreen...the N8 shows the tv icon and a message pops up when i plug the jack but nothing else....With my N95 works fine.
    ¿Any ideas?
    Thank you

    Well, I´ve playing with another cable but still no luck:
    the original nokia cable activate the tv out on the phone, but no image on tv
    the other cable refuses to activate the tv out (set N8 to audio options and i can´t  chang it)... A couple of times (don´t know how) the tv mode is activated but i have to move up-down the jack until i get image on screen.
    A closer look show me that the jack of the earphones and the two others are not equal and, even, i think they are more thinner because when i plug it, is more easy and i have not a "click" at the end.
    I´m very frustrated because i don´t know if the Tv output is broke or not

  • AppleTV 3.01 video output seems extremely 'contrasty'

    When I first plugged in my refurb 40Gb unit running 3.01 I though, hmm, that's very contrasty, highlights blown, artwork/thumbnails, well very contrasty - a bit like setting your Tv to those horrendous dynamic picture settings that overblow everything.
    Initially I realised that 3.01 no longer made any difference to video output on either of my Panasonic sets when changing HDMI output from High to Low, whereas previously they always did.
    Again, I just watched a newly converted home video on both a 3.01 and a 2.1 machine I've not upgraded and 3.01 output is considerably more contrasty - noticebale enough to irritate. Weird.

    It's just by my thinking it's more likley to be a hardware problem. The 3.0.1 software is the same regardless of weather it's running on your ATV my ATV or anyone else's. Now the hardware is susceptible to any number of external factors eg overheating. All it takes is one faulty component or bad solder connection and who knows what problems it will cause. What I'm trying to say is everybodys ATV software is an exact copy of each others. The only variations that can happen are in the hardware.
    That's a perfectly valid consideration.
    Things is we've seen many posts along the lines of 'since update x my AppleTv no longer does y via HDMI' - things like it used to support 1080p, now only 1080i, or I used to have 480i/p but no longer do.
    However, such findings were observed by only a couple of people, so assuming AppleTV hardware and software to be constant, the only additional variable is what AppleTv is connected to via HDMI - the TV.
    My assumption has been that something has changed in terms of HDMI negotiation software/drivers resulting in AppleTv not giving the same HDMI options it did in earlier software. Make sense?
    If you were really brave you could upgrade your 2.0 ATV to 3.0.1 and see if the RGB High/Low function works and that would confirm it's a hardware problem.
    That had crossed my mind.
