Connecting Apple TV to an Acer H5380BD DLP Projector?

Having trouble connect Apple TV to an Acer H5380BD DLP Projector. It is currently connected with an HDMI cable to projector. I played a purchased movie once with the same HDMI cable/connection and it worked fine. The next day I tried to watch the same movie and it displayed I can't because HDMI cable issue. The same apple tv and hdmi cable work fine on our flatscreen tv but not on the projector. Any suggestion? Getting no answers from apple.

You may have better luck going through support for the projector as that is where the issue seems to lie.

    jpmarkques post is a good start point, after folling his directions, you can try detect displays. Also try different rsolution and refresh rates.
    Most of the projectors I have used support a 1024X768 res.
    Youcan also try a pram reset if it still does not detect.
    Leave theproctor connected and powered up, power down the MBP.
    Power back up the MBP and hold the following keys before you hear the start up chime:
    Option, command, P,R (no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times.

  • How do I connect Apple TV and surround sound to my projector?

    My current set up is that I have a projector connected to my Blu-Ray player. My surround sound speakers connect to my Blu-Ray player. They all came in the box together and the speaker wires all go into the Blu-Ray. Everything works perfectly.
    However now I have bought an Apple TV and although I can play it through the projector, the sound is only through the projector and not the surround sound. I tried plugging the Apple TV in the HDMI in the projector and then connecting the Apple TV to the Blu-Ray via optical cable, but that didn't work.
    In the back of the projector there is 1 HDMI port and an audio port but no optical port
    In the back of the Blu-Ray, you have the speakers, the HDMI, the audio in and the optical port.
    How can I connect everything so that I can use my Apple TV with surround sound?

    The manual doesn't say anything an optical port on the BD ?

  • HT3382 Does the Apple MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter allow me to connect a VGA DLP projector as a display?

    I want to connect my MacBook Pro i7 that has a mini Dsiplay Port/Thunderbolt port. I want to connect it to my VGA NEC LT20 DLP Projector.
    I have the Apple MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter, MB5727Z/A, Model Number A1307 and the computer does not recognize the NEC LT20, nor does the LT20 recieve the MacBook Pro as a computer or other source.
    My previous MacBook Pro core duo with DVI to VGA adapter worked fine with the projector.
    Is this because the Apple  MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter is only for computer to VGA video displays?
    Is there another adapter that will allow me to use my particular VGA proejctor with my MacBook Pro?
    Has my replacing the old computer with the newer one forced me to shell out big bucks to for another projector, thereby making my ability to give educational lectures for free to audiences impossible?

    When you plug the projector into the computer, with the projector on, dose the computer reconize a second a 2nd display is connected?
    ie: Menu bar, click on the Apple menu, chose System Preferences, click on displays, do you see an arragment tab?
    if you do see an arragment tab, try clicking gather display windows. a window should pop up for the projector. What resolution is it set to? is there a lower resolution you could set?

  • How do I connect my Mac Book Pro to a Mitsubishi DLP projector?

    How do I connect my MacBook Pro to a Mitubishi DLP Projector?

    Without knowing the model of your MBP and what connectors are on the projector this is only a shot in the dark but I'd guess you will need a min-display port (mac end) to HDMI (projector end) cable.
    See Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (2 m/6.5 ft.)  for one possibility. But you need to confirm the connectors on your equipment before buying.

  • 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 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.

  • How to connect Apple TV when I have run out of HDMI Ports?

    I have a Sony Bravia TV with 3 HDMI Ports - in those I have connected:
    - Sony Home Theater Surround Sound
    - Playstation
    - Sky Digital TV HD Box
    Is there a way to connect Apple TV without disconnecting any of the above? (and without buying a new TV with 4 HDMI ports!)

    lkrupp is correct, the only soution is to add what's called an HDMI switch to your setup.  The HDMI switch normally has 2, 4, 6, or 8 HDMI inputs and one output.  The output goes to your display.  You then select which input you want to choose.In your case, you can do one of two things:
    Connect all your sources to the HDMI switch.  You then select sources via the HDMI switch and you no longer need to change HDMI inputs on your TV.
    Disconnect one of the HDMI sources you have (let's say it's the Playstation) and plug both the Playstation and the APPLE TV into the switch.  In this setup you need to change the input on both the TV and the HDMI switcher.
    The simplest setup in your case is to buy a 4 or 8 port HDMI switch and put all your devices on the switch.  If you are looking for inexpensive HDMI switches, you need to look at Monoprice.  The stuff is all manufactured overseas and can be hit or miss but it's the cheapest that you'll find.  If you feel like you need some guidance and help, then try www.hdtvsupply.com.  They have a good selection and great support.

  • How to connect Apple TV to DVD blu-ray home theatre

    Hi guys, I am planning to buy Apple TV2 and I was wondering is there setup guide for connecting to HDTV and home theatre system. I currently have LG HDTV and LG DVD Blu-ray Home Theatre. They are connected with HDMI 1.3 cable and I had to get optical cable to get sound from TV to Home theatre.
    How is Apple TV fits into that? I have 1 HDMI slot free on TV and 2 HDMI inputs on DVD system.
    I was thinking just to connect Apple TV to DVD via HDMI? Would that put sound on home theatre system?
    Thank you in advance.

    You have read home theatre manual about playing sound from external device.
    You doesn't need to connect home theatre to tv at all as you have get video from apple tv.
    Connect video output from apple tv to tv(may carry sound along) and optical cable from apple tv to home theatre.
    That will do. You can mute sound of tv(in case hdmi carry sound along) or using other function(on samsung ) and hear from home theatre sound from speakers.

  • How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

    Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.  Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?
    The TV is HD, but only has a component input and not HDMI.  Apple TV 2g only has HDMI output.

    google component hdmi converter
    but they are pretty expensive and may not work at all
    and will not work with any DRM material as in movies you reant and maybe netflix and the sports thingy

  • How to connect Apple TV with AT&T Uverse

    Need help pls.  Not sure how to connect Apple TV2 to AT&T Uverse.  I know I need to connect one cable to my wireless router, and another cable from the HDMI port to my TV.  That part is clear.  But my Uverse router is in an upstairs closet, and my TV is downstairs in the living room - too far apart to connect cables to both devices from my ATV2.   Do I need to somehow put a bridge router next to my TV, so that I can connect my ATV2 to both my bridge router and to my TV?  Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
