Connecting appletv to RCA jacks?

I have a 19" Toshiba combo DVD/TV, our only TV.
The HDMI jack on the back has wiggled enough that the AppleTV no longer can work via the HDMI jack. I bought a HDMI-RCA cable (Red/Yellow/White) and plugged it in, but only get black screen and no sound.
Is there something else I need to do?
We are hesitant to buy a new TV, and have seen that since we got this TV 7 or 8 years ago, the only combo TVs out there are from names whose quality I don't trust. Plus, we don't want our home to be dominated by a giant TV or cabinet hiding one and all its accoutrements.

HDMI is the only supported method, there is no guarantee with any converter. Even if it did work you wouldn't be able to view protected content (ie iTunes. Netflix) and functionality could cease at any time.

  • How to use the Digital Audio in & out RCA jacks a6010n

    On the lower right of the back of my Pavillion a6010n desktop, above the mouse and keboard connections and below the monitor connection are two RCA jacks labeled Digital Audio in and out.  The top one has an orange insulator and is labeled "out", and the lower one has a black insulator and is labeled "in".  I have been unable to find any information about these or how to use them.  Can anyone please tell me or direct me to information about this?  I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit and have added a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card which is cheap but has a better S/N ratio.  In Control Panel --> Sound the digital output for the sound card is listed but there is nothing about the Digital Audio jacks I would like to be able to use.  Thank you all.

    Yes there is. I suggest trolling these boards for the 3rd party remote solutions that will free you to use the remote in ANY application like Winamp, Notepad, Windows Media Player, etc.
    Just my two opinionated cents...

    These are a few of the opotions, there are many more. search google or other engines, be sure to include the model/make and OSX that you are using, as it makes a difference.
    If I had the make /model canera I would have been able to give more precise info. My wife does this and is not here right now, but I know she would want to know the camera info. Good luck and all the best.
    Oh, check roxio, they have a large selection of this kind of gear.

  • XFi Platinum - RCA Jacks - Arrrgggghh

    On the recommendation of my local PC specialist I purchased the XFi Platinum for my music production needs. I currently own an M-Audio card but no Vista drivers are available so I was looking forward to sinking my teeth into something new. However, on getting the new PC home I found that my Fostek monitors have no where to plug into the card. They are powered speakers with standard RCA Jacks. When the Xfi was recommended to me I noticed some RCA Jacks on the front panel and thought all was sweet. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get these monitors working with the XFi or is it a lost cause? I fear I may have to resort to some cheap Logitech things to get me up and going. Please, someone, show me the light......

    How come people buy sound cards and NOT read the info/instructions?When I looked at the I/O dri've bay for mt X-Fi Platinum I could see that it said L-Aux IN 2-R and to me that says ?INPUT and not output and anyway, why should anyone expect there to be RCA connectors for connecting speakers to be on the front?.ALL the speakers I have ever owned have always had regular jack plugs.

  • Using Front Panel Composite Video 2 RCA Jack on the HP m8000 Media Center PC

    I have a HP M8000 Computer with front panel RCA jacks, composite video 2 and Left and Right Audio RCA jacks.  I have been unable to determine how to select  these jacks for inputting video recordings to the computer.  Any ideas on how to use these jacks to input video from my VCR?

    The front composite video jacks did not have software support for the release of this PC.  The analog video software was not compatible with Windoze-Vista so there was no software given with this PC model that supported analog video input.

  • Can I connect AppleTV to 27" Thunderbolt Display?

    Hello,
    I've 27" Thunderbolt Display. I'm planning to get AppleTV. Can I connect AppleTV to Thunderbolt Display? I know that TD has only Thunderbolt / mini DisplayPort and AppleTV has HDMI only port. Can I use this adapter "http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapt er" for my purpose?
    Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    I'd be inclined to check with Apple about that, or wait for someone who has used exactly the same set up as you propose to use and can share their experience with you.
    The possible problems I can see that you might want to specifically confirm are:
    The cable I believe is intended to be used the other way around, can it be used the way you intend.
    Does the cable support HDCP.
    You might also confirm the following about the display:
    Does it support HDCP
    Does it support 720p natively
    Finally the display is likely to be 16:10, check whether any picture on screen will be stretched or will be letterboxed, you need it to be letterboxed.
