DOes sonyreciver hook up to str k840p hookup to apple tv 2. I want to use the surround sound.

You can go into the television (if it has HDMI) then take the audio out of the television to the receiver.

Does apple tv work with a sony KE-42TS2U?

thinking about getting it as a gift but am not sure if it works with the tv.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The TV doesn't appear to have an HDMI connection.
Some users have managed to get DVI to work but others haven't, I don't believe DVI is officially supported.

Have you used optical audio cable from apple tv to sony?

I have an ipod classic 160gb and i also have the dock to connect it to my TV using composite cables. I would rather use component then the composite cables. Does Apple sell a component connection to hook up my ipod to hook up to my TV?

Does Apple TV work with Sony Grand WEGA TV

I have a Sony Grand WEGA KDF42WE655 TV and would like to purchase Apple TV, but want to make sure it works with the TV first. Does anyone have a TV like this and does Apple TV connect to it? Thank you.

my sony bravia works fine
if a tv have a hdmi port it should work end of story
a company such as sony would not release tv sets which did not follow the hdmi std.
so it's like if you have a computer and buy a monitor connect the cable and recieve the visuals on the screen

Does apple have update to idvd so I can use Sony dcr-sx44 camcorder

Does apple have an update to idvd so I can use sony dcr-sx44 camcorder?

If you already have iDVD then run Software Update, if there are any updates available for iDVD they will be posted. While that doesn't answer your question directly it is your best option. Looking at the software specifications for the camera it doesn't look like it was ever intended to work with OS X. This is what I found on Sony's website:
Software
Supplied Software : PMB Ver.5.0 Supports Windows XP Service Pack3 (SP3)(32bit), Windows Vista Service Pack2 (SP2) (32bit), Windows 7, 64-bit editions and Starter (Edition) are not supported. Not supported by Mac OS.
Operating System Compatibility : "Windows XP SP3 * /Windows Vista SP2 ** /Windows7 * 64-bit editions and Starter (Edition) are not supported.The Windows Image Mastering API(IMAPI)Ver.2.0 or later is required to use the function for creating discs. ** Starter (Edition) are not supported. Standard installation is required. Operation is not assured if the above OS has been upgraded or in a multi-boot environment. "
I suspect a camera upgrade may be what you need to do.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Connecting my new sony str hd800 to my Samsung LCD.

I want to make sure that HDMI out from the receiver to HDMI in on the TV is the way to hook up my receiver (Sony str dh800) to my Samsung LCD TV (think it is a 52" lcd 650) I don't remember now but when I tried it (looked at it but didn't connect it) last night I didn't think it looked correct. If I didn't need to help with the kids I probably would have tried it. Just want to make sure! Thanks!

right now I have it connected to the rca audio input on the tv

Sony STR-DN1040 audio cuts out briefly, frequently

Audio on my new Sony STR-DN1040 cuts out whan SAT/CATV is the source. This happens frequently (every 30 seconds to a minute, unpredictably), though it is only for a fraction of a second each time.
When the audio cuts out, the following items on the front display panel of the receiver all flash off momentarily:
A.P.M.Dolby Digital SymbolD.L.L.
When I reconnect the cable box directly to the TV instead of the receiver (same HDMI cable), the audio issue goes away. I have tried resetting/clearing the receiver. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks again for your suggestions! They are much appreciated.
I have noticed that the problem is apparent on some TV channels more than others. Some channels seem to cause the audio drop and other channels don't.
I have now tried attaching my Blu-Ray player to the SAT/CATV port using the same HDMI cable. The problem was not apparent (but I haven't noticed the issue with the Blu-Ray source previously, so perhaps that helps rule out the SAT/CATV port).
I also tried attaching the cable box/PVR to the BD port and the problem was still present (as mentioned earlier, mostly present on certain channels).
The software is up to date as of last week (ver. s9327.1074.0).
I also tried powering off and disconnecting everything, then reconnecting and powering everything on in the described order. The issue is still present, regardless of the HDMI input port that I use. As mentioned before, this happens only when I route the SAT/CATV signal through the receiver. When I bypass the receiver, by connecting the cable box/PVR directly to the TV, the audio does not cut out on the usual affected channels.

Remote infrared codes for the Sony STR-DE675 receiver

Where can I find the remote infrared codes for the Sony STR-DE675 receiver? They are not in the Owner's Manual, nor on the Sony.com website. Thanks.GBP

If you were getting sound and no picture when you had the Wii hooked up to your surround sound receiver, your TV was probably on the wrong input. You would have needed to use the source or input button on your TV's remote and changed the input to the component 1 choice, since that is the port you stated you plugged the Wii into on the TV.
Your cable remote may not be programmed to work with the blu-ray player. However, I think you're misunderstanding the function of the buttons at the top of your remote labeled TV, Sat/Cab, VCR, etc. Your cable remote doesn't work like a Harmony remote. Pushing those buttons at the top of your cable remote are not like pushing the Watch TV or Watch DVD functions on a Harmony (meaning pushing them doesn't change the TV's input automatically). All those buttons at the top of the remote are for that you're describing are to tell the remote which components to control. For example, you are watching cable TV and just used the remote to change the channel but now you want to adjust the volume. You would have to hit the "TV" button on the cable remote to switch the remote from controlling the cable box to controlling the TV. Otherwise, you'd hit the volume controls over and over and nothing would happen b/c the remote would still think it was controlling the cable box. Only a Harmony remote (or similar universal remote) can change the TV's input with the click of a function button.
And to explain why one must change the TV's input when switching components, I always compare the process to the way a tube TV used to work for those that are new to the flat screen TVs. Think of the way your old TV probably worked - you had to have the TV on channel 3 for your VCR, 4 for cable, etc. The input changing is practically the same thing with just a few more steps, if that helps to make things any clearer. LOL
Nothing I post is an official statment of Best Buy or Geek Squad, it is only a helpful opinion!

Sony STR-DG500 Receiver

I have had a kid mess up the TV settings on the receiver and the volume is terrible. The radio volume through the receiver is good, but the TV volume is very low. I have to play it on max volume most of the time. I have checked all connections and tried other settings with no luck. Any ideas on where to start?? Thanks for any help!!

I just installed the 3.0.2 firmware upgrade and I still can't get my Apple TV to transmit HDMI video to my TV via my Sony STR-DH500 receiver. All other components - Blu-Ray player, Scientific Atlanta cable TV converter, and Acer laptop work just fine with the HDMI switch in the tuner.
AppleTv is notoriously fickle with some switches/AV receivers over HDMI.
Question is whether this is due to an over rigorous HDMI implementation by Apple but it would seem odd that other manufacturers just had lax implementations.
Apple TV works when connected directly to the TV, but I really don't want to have to keep swapping HDMI cables.
No, I agree very frustrating. HDMI great when it works!
Have you considered connecting via component to the TV/receiver and analogue or optical audio ?
Is this lack of compatibility due to heavy-handed anti-piracy measures on Apple's part?
Doubt it, it happens with unprotected material presumably too.
Apple TV is the first Apple product I've ever owned, and will likely be the last. There's one good thing about Apple TV: the interface is awesome.
Yes, makes up for lots of other things.
But, I should be able to connect it via an HDMI switch, shouldn't I?
Yes, it's not necessarily AppleTV at fault but when other devices all work it certainly suggests it's the problem.
And Apple won't give me any support over the phone unless I pay $49?!
I wouldn't bother I doubt you'd get anywhere other than being advise to try a different switch or plug into your TV.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Yes, with certain device pairings several posts comment about this.
While some non mainstream brand switches might not be implemented well you'd expect Sony to be ok.
Is there anything else I should try?
Apart from component no.
Is there a hack that can fix this problem?
No.

How does apple want me to create a DVD to play on my DVD player from iMovie? iDVD did not come with my iMac.

I have created several home movies in imovie and am now ready to burn them to DVDs that family members can play on their DVD players. How am I supposed to do this? iDVD did not come with my imac. How does apple want us to do this? Thanks.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it, and how do I install it?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. Some purchasers of new iMacs have reported that if you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone to Apple, they may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. As there is no satisfactory substitute for iDVD Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7. If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, and none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads contain them.
Currently the only certain way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20751 4/Installer001.jpg
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20748 0/Pacifist001.jpg
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
But even though you can still buy iLife 9 or 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
When you try to install iDVD you may see a notice come up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March 2012, because Apple have withdrawn the license to it can no longer be used.
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After installing iDVD reset the time back to the correct time on your Mac.
You may be to use able to use the installer even without setting back the date. Just click on the Continue button and it should work as expected, but for some it will not continue unless the date is set back.
Additional comments:
Apple has clearly indicated in the newest iMacs, Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to phase out optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one but which is not universally compatible with all Macs.
Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. but not all. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their latest Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
The latest anorexic iMacs do not even include a CD drive (or Firewire)! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of optical media - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

No Audio from Sony STR-DG700 AV Receiver

Yesterday I hooked up my Sony DTR-DG700 AV receiver to the BTV box. BTV HMDI output to the TV via receiver works in that I can see the picture on the TV, however the BTV digital optical to the receiver does not output audio to my front speakers.
I've made sure the receiver settings are correct in that I've forced the receiver to use the digital optical in, however I still get no audio from my Tannoy FX speakers. I went into the BTV Settings and selected 'Surround Sound' as the default and saved the setting, but still only get audio via HDMI
I know there isn't a compatibility concern with the receiver and speakers as this used to work years ago with my SKY system.
I should add I can hear the audio from the BTV box via my receiver by way of the headphone socket, but not via the speakers.
One thing I've not done yet is to connect the BTV box to the receiver via RCA phonos to see if this forces the digital optical to kick-in. I even went as far as to re-boot the BTV box and restore the default settings on my Sony AV receiver.
I would really welcome any assistance as this is beginning to annoy me.
Many thanks in advance
Neil
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm beinging to suspect the speakers might be knackered. Can't for the life of me fathom out why though. I connected my iPhone to an input on the receiver, played a song and again, can hear it no problem via the receiver headphone socket, but not via the speakers.
I've tried assigning another input on the receiver, by this doesn't appear to work either, as I still get no audio via the speakers.
Also tried hooking up a DVD player c/w co-ax audio out and get nowt via the speakers again. In this instance, the audio is simply being carried by way of SCART.
I checked the spec for the speakers and the receiver.
Tannoy FX speakers 6ohm impedance
Receiver is 8 ohm impedance
This set-up was working fine years ago, as I had SKY HD hooked up to the said receiver and speakers.

Insignia 32 LED TV and Sony STR-DH720 HDMI ARC question

I have my new Insignia 32 LED TV connected via HDMI to my new Sony STR-DH720 Home Theater AMP. When I turn on the TV it properly turns on the AM and initially sets AMP to TV input but then a few seconds later it swtiches to VIDEO 2 and then I get no sound. If I manually set the AMP back to the TV input I get good video and sound. I want it to stop switching to VIDEO 2 (where nothing is connected) and just stay on TV. Any ideas on why it is switching and how I can make it just stay on TV. The HDMI cable is connected to the correct port on the TV and the AMP.

yeah of the input from the imac to the tv will just be one of the input hdmi sources you have on your list in the sony menu
I have an Apple TV, a google chrome card, a sat box and at times wifes macbook pro I just switch between them in the bravia menu

Does Apple TV provide subtitles on movies streamed by Netflix?

I am DEAF and need subtitles or closed captions for the hearing impaired in order to watch movies -- or TV. These are two different things. Subtitles typically are options found on the Disc Menu: English, French, Spanish, etc. Some Disc Menus also provide for Closed Captions. However, some Discs provide Closed Caption Information embedded in the Disc that can be read by a TV and shown on screen when the TV's Closed Caption option is "On". Just what does Apple TV provide from streaming movies from iTunes or Netflix? Can I get subtitles? Can I get Closed Options?
I have a new Sony LCD Bravia TV that has both Closed Captions and Netflix buttons on the remote.
The Sony TV also can connect to my Wireless network in which I have an iMac 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 processor with OS 10.7.2.

I have had subtitles with Netflix without problems for aover a year. . However, recently I am getting closed captions if I have the subtitle option turned ( CC turnrd off) on on the ATV2. I turn it off, and they are gone and regular subtitles in a foreign film are there, no problem. Answer for this quirkiness?
