How Do I Connect ATV to DLP TV w/o HDMI

I recently purchased an Apple TV (2nd GEN) for my parents for Christmas, only to find out that there DLP TV does not have an HDMI input. The TV is an HDTV and does support 720p but I have searched around the web to see if anything is possible to purchase that is cheap until they get a new TV (which will be in about 2 months) and have found nothing.
Can someone PLEASE help me?

    That won't work with the iPad, unless maybe there's a "control monitor" app somewhere.

  • How can I connect ATV to my Bose Lifestyle 8 system?

    How can I connect my 3rd generation Apple TV to my home theater BOSE Lifestyle 8 system (1999)?
    In the BOSE reciver there isn't optical output just analog.
    what the solution for this issue?

    The problem is with the Bose bar and not the Apple TV .  I have confirmed that sound is Transmitted from both the HDMI output and the Optical (Toslink) output simultaneously from the Apple TV
    The BOSE bar AUTOMATICALLY selects the best quality signal . You can't select it.   So HDMI  will win and once the TV is off,  audio will not work. 
    The AUX port is essential useless as Bose told me its for "Redundancy" and you can't "select" to use it. 
    What you need is an optical selector .  I bought this one for around $20 from amazon .  I like it because its black and you can connect up to 4 devices.

    Because the Bose bar inputs from the Optical out on the back of the TV,  have it now go through the selector.  Your Apple TV can be input 2 . 
    You can now watch TV or Apple TV normally but if you want to still hear the music from Apple TV ,  manually change the selector to input 2 on the optical selector device .  When you turn off TV it will still play sound coming from apple tv's optical output . 
    Works perfectly !  Cheap work around .  Unfortunately for such an expensive Bose device you shouldn't  need to buy "work arounds" but I'm very happy with the sound quality and I'm a Bose believer .   So it was worth doing .

  • How do I connect Apple TV (3rd) to device without HDMI input?

    I am trying to connect my Apple TV to an inFocus 70+ projector.  The project has a "computer input" jack which resembles a DVI connector but is really a M1-D connection. It also has an s-video input and a composite video input.
      I purchased a HDMI to M1-D cable.  The picture is perfect; however, I cannot get any sound no matter was source I use (iPad, Apple TV, computer).
    What alternatives do I have to output audio from the Apple TV to external speakers?
    I like the Apple TV, but if I cannot get this to work, it really does not meet my needs.

    Presumably this input has never been able to accept audio only video ?
    If it is like DVI that would explain it as DVI is video only.
    Not really the AppleTV at fault IMO.
    You can take optical out from AppleTV and feed that to a home cinema amp or speakers with an optical input.  Alternatively for stereo get a cheap DAC and run the stereo feed to an amp/speakers.

  • How to connect ATV into the Entertainment center

    I was wondering how people are connecting ATV into their entertainment center or components. I have of course the widescreen TV, ATV, also DVD, set top box and the stereo. The stereo is a late 80's/early 90's version that uses the copper stereo wiring and not the red/white plugin in the back.
    How are people setting up a similar system. Thanks

    My main set up is; tv to tv via HDMI, optical to receiver, I've thrown my DVD player and my STB is connected via scart.
    Your stereo likely doesn't have HDMI or optical but may have an auxiliary input of some kind, I think you are probably talking about the outputs in your description and I'd be surprised if the auxiliary (if there is one) isn't a red/white RCA connector.

  • 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 do I connect my Apple TV to my Philips surround sound DVD system?

    I can't seem to get surround sound when watching Apple TV (or when watching live or recorded TV via my Virgin Tivo). I use a three-years old Philips DVD home surround system to get surround sound when I'm watching Blu-Ray (I have connected my Philips Blu-ray and my Philips DVD player without difficulty). But I can't figure out how to get surround sound whne watching Apple TV. I bought an optical cable with an audio jack on one end, to connect to the DVD player and the optical end clicks into the ATV. Still nothing. Any ideas?

    The surround system seems to support digital audio - it has settings for HDMI audio and video (even though it doesn't actually have an HDMI port) I bought the optical/audio cable on the advice of a staff member in the Apple Store, but frankly, she didn't see, to understand my problem. She recommended I insert the cable into the "MP3 cable IN" port but that' not working.
    I'm probably not explaining myself very well - bottom line: I have a DVD surround system and an Apple TV, so how do I connect them?

    Get an HDMI switcher. Plug in the ATV directly to the TV and then use the switcher on the other input.
