Connect Apple TV 2 to Receiver

Hi
I have not bought Apple TV jet, but i'm thinking of doing it, but i do not know if i will be able to connect it to my sony receiver called: Sony STR-de495P
Here you see a photo of the receiver from behind:
So my question is, will I be able to connect Apple TV 2 to this, and how can I do it?
Best Regards
Emil

The ATV2 only has HDMI out for video. There's an optical out for audio too, but I don't know much about it.
If you only have RCA-in, you're out of luck for direct use, or you'll need to spend some extra dosh on a converter.
In my case, my TV has HDMI-in and a headphone out, so I just put a mini-stereo-to-RCA cable in place and I'm happy. YMMV depending on how "central" your receiver is to your setup.

HT5437 connect apple tv to Yamaha receiver RX-A1010

Want to set up Apple TV to Yamaha Receiver RX-A1010 and to use URC Harmony MX980 IR remote. No info available on Yamaha website or manual
Anyone done this?
Had Home theater set up by professionals - was hoping we could to this part ourselves.

I just got an Av receiver this week and connected an ATV to it. You connect from the ATV to one of the receivers HDMI inputs with an HDMI cable and then connect from the receiver's HDMI output to TV HDMI input. If your tv does not have HDMI ARC, also connect an optical digital cable between receiver and tv for sound. Just be sure to remember what input you used on the receiver to connect your ATV to so you can select that input to play the ATV.

Connecting apple tv to a receiver via optical cable

I connected my apple TV via a digital optical cable to the yamaha receiver RX-V477,but I have not figure out how to hear the music that is coming from the apple tv. Can you help me with the set-up in the yamaha receiver. Thanks

Hey mgrossi,
The Apple TV's optical digital-audio port, also known as as TOSLINK, carries both audio and video signal when used with the proper cable. See this article for reference -

Connecting apple tv through older receiver to older tv

I have an older (9 years) Yamaha a/v receiver and (same older) Pioneer Elite plasma tv. Neither has hdmi. I am attempting to connect to the receiver via optical cable for sound and RGB (component) connectors for video. I am going through the "D-TV" (digital tv) component hook-ups on the receiver. I get no picture.
I have tried apple's suggestion of changing the video mode ("menu" and "+" on the remote) to no effect.
The receiver and tv function fine in all other respects.
Is there something I am missing?
All sugestions gladly accepted!

The Apple TV doesn't output in RGB, its component signals are YCbCr. However, I suspect that your TV is also expecting YCbCr so this isn't the likely problem (i.e. it's just a mistake in your terminology). In any case, if your plasma TV supports only RGB then the YCbCr signals won't work without an color space converter.

Connecting apple tv through stereo receiver

I just bought apple tv and wanted to know if it's possible to connect it through my HDMI stereo receiver instead of directly through my tv. I ask this because I don't want to have to take the tv off the wall and feed cables through the wall unless I have to. Thanks.

Assuming that your TV is connected to the HDMI output of your receiver, you just need to figure out how to route HMDI 2 to the HDMI Output. How to do this depends on the receiver. You should search for forums that are specific your model to get more detailed help.

How to connect apple tv2 to receiver

Apple tv is connected to tv via hdmi - working perfectly. But i would like to connect apple tv to my receiver as well - for surround sound on movies and for streaming audio from the computer.
My receiver has 3 optical ports in addition to the DVD coax ( CD, CDR and TV) which one do i use to connect from apple tv - none seem to work.
Apple TV set to dolby output.
receiver digital in is turned on
No sound from the receiver
Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to use one of the optical ports.
Are you sure they are optical ports.
Are you sure you are matching the input to the output correctly on the receiver.
Have you tried adjusting the audio out and Dolby digital settings on the Apple TV.

I would like to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable and pass thru dolby digital. I do not have optical inputs on my receiver.

I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital.

How to connect apple tv to NAD T748 AV Receiver

How to connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp s35

How do I connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp.s35 tv? I connected to one of my pioneer receiver's hdmi ports but when I cycle through the inputs I can't find apple tv. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't have or indeed know anything about your receiver, but unless the Apple TV can see an active device and connect via HDMI it won't turn on. You will need to set your receiver to use the correct input and then turn on the Apple TV.

How to connect Apple TV

I am about to purchase an Apple TV. Want to be certain I understand what I need in terms of cables and understanding wireless connections. Our setup is as follows: An Imac G5 Isight running Tiger / Mac OS X 10.4 11 in back room. We have a modem from Verizon for DSL and a Netgear router connected to our Direct TV via a cat cable,running under house into front room. to receive On Demand content from Direct TV. We are not using the router wirelessly and have the Imac connected through ethernet for the internet. So I do not really understand how wireless works. In the front room we have a Sony Bravia LCD flatscreen, a Denon receiver. I understand I can connect the apple tv to the Sony or the Denon with a HTML cable. What I don't get is connecting the Imac to the apple TV. OH I do have a Airport Express base station. Do I need to purchase something else to help me connect wirelessly? My husband could run an ethernet cable under the house or through the attic but I would like to avoid that if possible. We could decide to forgot the On Demand content from Direct TV as we don't use it too much and use the Netgear WGT624 router to connect wirelessly???
Can you nice tech smart folks help me ? I really appreciate it.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
I'm assuming you are looking for the princples here and not specific set up instructions. I don't believe the method described above is correct and would advise the following:
It isn't clear whether your netgear router supports wifi or not, if it does simply set up the wifi connection between the router and the tv, the tv and your mac can communicate with each other over a mixed wifi/ethernet network provided all devices are on the same subnet.
If the netgear doesn't support wifi then you will need to connect the express to the router by ethernet and set it up in bridging mode, again he tv and your mac can communicate with each other over a mixed wifi/ethernet network.
In terms of connecting your tv, tv and receiver, you have two options:
connect the tv to the receiver by HDMI and the receiver to the tv by HDMI, or
connect the tv to the receiver by optical cable and the tv to the tv by HDMI.
My personal preference is for the second option.

How to connect Apple TV 3 to denon 1910

Having trouble need to know how to set up Apple TV through denon1910 receiver.

If your Denon receiver does not have an optical audio input, I believe that leaves you with two options. You can purchase an optical audio to RCA audio converter, then connect that to your receiver. Or you can take the HDMI output from AppleTV to an HDMI to Component Video/Audio Converter, send the component video to your TV and the audio to your receiver. The latter will probably degrade your video signal and result a poorer image.
I hope this helps.

Connecting Mac Mini to AV Receiver

I thought this would be simple. I purchased a Mac Mini today with the thought of connecting it through my AV receiver to my LG tv. Here's what I did:
1) brought it home from the store
2) plugged an HDMI cable into the Mac Mini, and the other end into my receiver (Yamaha RX-V3800)
3) there is another HDMI cable that goes from my receiver to my LG tv (LG Infinia 50PK950)
4) turned everything on, turned the receiver to the correct input that I plugged the Mac Mini HDMI cable into...
... and I get nothing.
The Mac Mini is on, the blue light is on.
Do I need to perform some sort of set up on the mini before I can connect it to my tv to use the tv as a monitor?
Did I connect the wrong HDMI cable?
Is it not compatible?
I thought it would be an easy connection if I went Mac Mini > HDMI > Yamaha AV Receiver > HDMI > LG Infinia 50PK950 TV.
Any help?

Yup - tried connecting it through 2 different HDMI inputs on the tv, and tried different HDMI cables in case that was the problem. All I'm getting is "No Signal" on the tv.
I can run a PS3 through my receiver via HDMI and to the tv and it works fine.
I think the first step at this point is to verify that the actual mini is working since I just pulled it out of the box and connected it. The blue light is on and it sounds like it is on but I haven't been able to see it on any monitor or tv.
Should I be able to just connect straight from the mini to a tv using an HDMI cable? I don't have a mouse or keyboard plugged in either, I only have the wireless apple ones.

How to connect grace digital wifi radio receiver to airport express.

"Default gateway.......
Port 80 not found. not connected"
The conneted type is dynamic wifi network (POE + ). The express is set in bridge mode and configured through ipad.

Hi,
Called up the apple support services on Dec 9, 2013 and was on line for almost 1 hour without a solution. However, received a call back from team in Singapore on the same day and commitment to revert on the issue within 24 hrs. Received a call within 24 hrs and the entire discussion came down to the point that I have to manually set the grace digital equipment.
I tried other options and eventually the simplest thing to do was to set the connection option to DHCP only and ignore the error.
Now its working fine..

No picture using component connections with Sony STR-DG710 Receiver

I have been unable to get a picture (sound appears to be ok) using component cables to connect to a Sony 710 receiver - the (2) HDMI inputs on the receiver are taken by equipment that can not use component cables. Apple Store checked Apple TV unit and said component outlets were ok. I did barrow one of the HDMI cables to set the system up (1080i resolution was selected). Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?

There may be an easy answer here. It's your receiver - not the apple TV
1080p HDMI Inputs: The Sony receiver features two 1080p HDMI inputs and one 1080p HDMI output. The receiver transmits both audio and video through the HDMI monitor output to your TV or you can choose for the HDMI monitor out terminal to only output video to your television. Video signal that is input through HDMI input can only be output through the HDMI monitor output terminal.
Note: The receiver does not offer video upconversion.
So it looks like if you go HDMI in - you have to go HDMI out (to your TV)
If you go component in - you need to go component out (to your TV)
