How do I connect.apple tv, generation 2, to sony braveria.

What is the model number? Connected directly via HDMI securely? What do you see on the screen? Have you navigated to the right input on your TV? Have you tried a different cable and port?

Connecting macbook pro to sony bravia wirelessly

Hello,
Is there a way to connect a Macbook Pro to an HDTV that are both on the same wireless network? I have a Sony Bravia KDL40EX521 that I bought a USB wireless adaptor with. Is there an app that allows me to do this? Alternatively, I have a PS3. I know Apple TV has a way to "mirror" a display. Does PS3 have an app that allows you to do this?
Any comments / advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Go back to the salesman and have him demonstate that and advise you on the software needed. You could also check SONY web site as well.

Apple TV and Sony Bravia, Slight video distortion when streaming local video

I have a 3rd Generation Apple TV and a Sony Bravia TV
When I am strwaming movies from iTunes, it appears it is skipping frames every few seconds. I have it hooked up through a Sony ES receiever, and i have by passed it to go directly to the TV. Below is all the troubleshooting i have done:
- Changed the HDMI cable
- Plugged it in directly to the TV
- I have tried 2 Different TV's in the house (Video Streaming is fine on both TVs)
- Tested the video on 2 macs and window media center, videos play fine
- Moved the Airport Extreame and internet connection next to the unit
- streamed from Both my macs and the WMC PC.
- tried connecting either net to Airport extreame with the Mac
- Streamed a movie trailer and it looked fine.
- Changed the resolution of the apple tv from 1080P to 720P
- Played movies from the PS3 and DVD play, no problems with the picture on the TV
- Power cycled EVERYTHING!
I have over 400 movies on my media server, and none of them acted like this on my 1st generation Apple TV i just sold.
The weird part is that it only happens to the movies i am streaming on this specific TV. I know the TV is good, the moveis are fine. And the connection between the device and the system hosting the movies is fine..
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Make sure its compatible
H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

How to connect MacBook 2009 to Sony Bravia HDTV?

Hi everyone! I received a Sony Bravia HDTV as a gift (lucky me!), and I want to connect my MacBook from 2009 to it so I can stream Netflix movies onto my laptop and watch them on the HDTV. I have a Mini-DVI port (video out) on the MacBook, and HDMI on the TV. A couple of questions:
- What cable(s) do I need?
- Do I need a separate cable for audio?
- Has anyone tried to stream Netflix this way (directly from the laptop), and was it successful?
Thanks so much!
Denise

You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and an HDMI cable from that to your TV. Here's some types of Mini-DVI adapter to HDMI on Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_9_8?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field- keywords=mini+dvi+to+hdmi+adapter&sprefix=mini+dvi
When you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. You'll have to contact Sony support to see if the Bravia has an audio plug that will work with one of the HDMI plugs.

Connecting Macbook Pro to Sony Bravia tv?

Hi all,
Firstly i hope I've posted this in the correct location, I'm still new to this forum, and all the technology I'm surrounding myself with.
I recently brought a Samsung 3dtv, I connected my Macbook pro via the VGA, all worked fine, however my new tv does have dodgy hdmi's and screen issue, so a new replacement will be delivered next week.
My Macbook pro was bought in 2008, yes 4 years ago, only recently did it start slowing down and playing around. So, my Macbook is not top of the line, with many fancy connctions, oppostie obviously. However the dvi - vga does work and continues to do so.
My iMac was brought only a couple of weeks ago, so is more up-to-date, I still don't know what all the connections are at the back, but I'm impressed.
In the lounge there is a Sony Bravia tv, was brought last year, again i don't know everything about it.
Last night, du to the failure of my hdmi's i decided to connect my Macbook to the Sony tv. This simple task turned in to hours of touture, not quite but it was pretty horrific.
I went the way which i knew has worked and should work. dvi - vga.
I connected the adapter from my Macbook to one end of the vga lead, the other end in the tv. I also connected my audio cable. The same way that i have done for years, especially on a 6 year old LG lcd tv. And still nothing. (This way even works on a broken Samsung tv)
The PC output on the Sony was grayed out, and continue to stay that way... all night. Frustrating!
I then decided to try an old windows laptop, again nothing.
I also tried with my iMac, thunderbolt (i believe) to hdmi - hdmi, again nothing!
I even tried the hdmi cables from the cable box etc and all worked ok. Nothing wrong with cables nor the connectors on the tv.
I spoke with a technician from the store of purchase, he said.... It only worked on Samsung tv as it is a 'Smart' tv, and that i could make it work by downloading a free app called... AirPlay. : |
I find this all completely odd as like I've said, the 6 year old LG Nothing-of-a-tv LCD worked via the dvi (on a 4 year old Macbook) to a vga cable, through and in to the tv, also using an audio cable, I bet my life that if i connct it again right this moment, it will work.
Also my Samsung tv is broken, yet the same cable and Macbook still works.
Why does the other two completely different tv's work just like that and the one year old Sony, No!!!
All i would like to know is, how on earth can i connect my Macbook to the Sony tv and have it working as an extra screen?? with video and sound content?
Many thanks to you all. x

I run into exactly the same problem with PC input staying grey. The matter gets worse by:
- if I connect a PC to the Bravia on the it recognizes it.
- if I then connect a MacBook after it it works, until the MacBook is turned off when the matter returns...
- with the earlier MacBooks (time with the round power cables before the magnetic connector) it worked well but newer display connector has this problem.
Hence it's somehow a Bravia problem or a signaling problem from this particular MacBook connector to Bravia (something signal is missing that should be there...)

Fails to connect MBP 2008 to Sony Bravia with HDMI Cabel

Trying to connect our MacBook Pro from year 2008 to our 2013 SONY Bravia by means of "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable", the SONY Bravia will only show the background picture (Milky Way) of our MBP, but NOT the application that we have opened on the MBP.... Happy to receive any hints... Thank you!

Well, I have a regular macbook and one thing I found out is to make sure your tv cable box is off and that just your tv is on. I know that sounds simple, but I didn't realize this at first! The other thing I did was go on youtube and found a video of a guy showing exactly how to set it up, settings, connections, etc... It really helped me. I had to look around a lot to find one that I could understand, but that's how I finally figured it out!

Can I use Apple TV with Sony Bravia LCD TV?

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV, but my TV does not have HDMI cable, it is a Sony Bravia LCD (here are the specs: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/sony-klv-20g400a-20/1707-6482_7-33664951. html)
It has component and composite as part of its video interface, but I don't know if it would be compatible with Apple TV or which connectors-adapter I would need to make it work.
I really hope I can use it with my TV, since it's really definitely new, it hardly has 3 years since I bought it. I really like what Apple TV has to offer, but I really can't afford to also change my television set
Thank you in advance for your replies

no if it would work it would only work with non DRM material so nothing bought or rented or netflix or the sports stuff would work
it's an absolute low range tv from a few years ago which is a bit of a streght for sony to put their label on

Connecting my macbook to sony bravia with AUDIO

I just setup my macbook to my sony bravia via mini dvi adapter to hdmi and it works perfectly. Now, the problem I have is getting the audio to work. I tried using my RCA audio cord to hook it up, but there is no sound on my tv. I would appreciate any suggestions on what else I should do, thanks.

Its the newest model available. The problem I have is that when i plug my audio cable (RCA) into the tv from my macbook, i get no sound and its getting aggrevating haha.

How to connect Apple TV to Sony a/v receiver

I have my Apple TV connected to my home a/v Sony receiver thru the DVD input. I am using an Hdmi cable. When I try to play music from my iPad using airplay to my Apple TV, the sound cuts in and out. Should I be using an optical digital audio cable also?

No, HDMI should be OK.
You'd only need optical if say the HDMI connection went direct to the TV (say your Sony had no HDMI).
If playing music via Airplay the commonest cause for audio dropouts os poor wifi - either poor signal for iPad or AppleTV, or interference from other equipment (micorwaves, cordless landline phones) - I used to use an older Airplay equivalent to an Airport Express and it there would be frequent bits of silence - this was often triggered by somone using teh microwave in teh house causing wifi interference.
Also consider whether someone else in the house could be using a lot of LAN access/internet access eg downloading, and thus limiting bandwidth available to AppleTV and iPad.

Trouble connecting Apple TV to Sony TV (KV-24FV10)

I am having some problems connecting my new Apple TV to my Sony TV (model: KV-24FV10). I used cables that previously was connected to my DVD but when I use them on the ATV the picture is black and white.
I plugged the cables in so RED=RED, WHITE=BLUE and YELLOW=GREEN as described in another post on this forum.
Any ideas? This is what I have available on the back of the TV. This is from the manual

Darn it..... I thought my 8 year old tv would be able to handle the ATV.... Ok, i will see if I can find a good deal on a 24-26" LCD
pwonk:
1. I haven't gotten as far as to play anything. Even the animated startup screen is in black&white
2. I set the output to 480i which was the only resolution that showed up nicely.
3. Yeah my DVD is working fine so i can;t see that being the issue. Also when I get into the TV menu it is showing colors for the menu text.
Thanks for both of your feedback.

Connect iPad wireless to Sony bravia

For playing vídeos or photos

You need an AppleTV or download from app store DNLA apps, they are free. There is a decent one called "iMediaShare"
Another possibility is to search in the Sony TV configs, there should be an option to connect devices wirellesly.
Bye!

My 13" mackbook pro can't connect to my 55" SONY Bravia using the HDMI cable

Neither unit sees the other. I'm using a brand new Apple HDMI cable for macbook pro. Is the SONY just incompatible?
Thanks...

One of the best features we never heard of is the Mac's ability to specify an entire basket of Wi-Fi settings at once, by bundling them into a "Location" settings file.
When you get to a new place, use
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > (assist Me) > (Assistant)...
... and set it up from scratch -- taking care to specify a new "Location" with a meaningful mnemonic name particular to School, Starbux, or whatever will remind you which to choose.
Be sure to close the window and save changes for them to take effect.

Connecting MacBook to Sony Bravia LCD tv

I really want to connect my MacBook to our tv to play region 1 dvd's and videos I've bought in iTunes. At the Apple Store they sold me 3 cables, 1 Mini-DVI to DVI connector, 1 DVI to HDMI cable and a cable for sound.
I've got these both hooked up to my tv but I can't get both sound and picture to show up. I have to choose between either the HDMI input or the AV (sound) input. Does anyone know how I can get them both?

I am trying to do the same . Connecting Mac Book to Sony Bravia. the audio is working fine but no display. After connecting the DVI - VGA adapter the mac screens blinks for a sec or so but then no display on the tv. The apples store sales person told me its plug & play as simple as that.
Pls help with some troubleshooting !

Connecting Macbook to sony Bravia TV

Ok not exactly the most computer savvy but I am currently trying to connect my Macbook to my Bravia TV. I have a Mini DVI to DVI cable then a DVI to HDMI cable connected the HDMI cable is connected to a box that i have my DVR and Blu-Ray player plugged into, then that is connected to the TV. The problem is that my macbook will not recognize the TV and the TV does not seem to recognize the macbook. I have read several other posts with the same problem all that seem to be solved by matching the computer's resolution to the TV's and by turning off mirroring in the display preferences, but there does not seem to be an option for turning that off in my display options and the detect display button seems to do nothing. Any help would be appreciated
