How do I connect my ATV to my Yamaha receiver, pvr, Sony Bravia, and DVD player?

Note: I am not very savvy with this stuff so basic lingo please ;) I have a lot of hdmi inputs & outputs. I had it all connected & working except for the surround sound wasn't playing for Apple TV. I have 3 hdmi's on the TV labeled 1, 2 & 3. The receiver has a "HDMI DVD IN1" and "HDMI DTV/CBL IN2" and then another that just says "OUT".
So I'm not only trying to figure out what to connect to each device but also by the numbers & in & out options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

If you want the ATV sending audio to the receiver, connect it to one of the inputs on the receiver.
Ideally, all devices connect to the reciever.
The reciever then connects via one HDMI cable to the TV.
That way all audio goes to the receiver and the TV merely acts as a monitor.
However, this may not work in all situations depending on the number of inputs on the receiver.  Personally, I would replace the receiver with on that has at least 4 inputs, but that may not be feasible depending on your situation.

  • How do I connect my 13in (early 2011) MBP to my Sony Bravia KDL-26

    Hi Folks,
    I've recently bought a 13in MBP and want to output my HD video to the TV. Is this just as simple as Thunderbolt to HDMI? If not any ideas.
    Cheers

    Hi Folks,
    It's easy, there's just a few things you need to know.
    Bought the minidisplay to HDMI cable off ebay for about £6.00. Pluged in both ends OK. Had to disconnect the recorder first. Might have to look at some kind of splitter so I don't have to do this every time.
    Select the HDMI input on the tele.
    At first the TV will only display the basic Mac background picture (stars) You need to 'Mirror' the displays, and sort out the sound.
    Go to 'System Preferences' and select 'Displays'. With the Mac plugged into the TV you get an extra tab (Arrangements) at the top of the box. Select 'Arrangement' and check the 'Mirror Displays' box.
    Next from System Preferences select 'Sound'. Both 'Internal Speakers' and the TV are listed. Select the TV.
    All should be working now.
    HD video without Blueray - result!!
    Cheers

  • How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    Use a mini-Displayport-to-HDMI adapter and a standard HDMI cable to connect the computer to the proper HDMI port on your computer — the one that is paired with the separate RCA audio inputs (see the TV's manual for this information). And connect the headphone port on your MBP to those inputs with a cable that has a 1/8' stereo headphone plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other. You'll also need to select the proper HDMI input in the TV's menu system, and you may have to select the headphone port as the audio output in the Sound pane of System Prefs on the Mac (or it may be selected automatically).

  • How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?

    How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?  I assume I would need to use the DVI to Video adapter that came with my computer to connect to my LCD tv.  I'm just not sure which port I should use on the TV.  The HDMI port is being used for digital cable.
    Also, does anyone know if this can be done wirelessly? 

    For a 2010+ MBP you can connect with a Displayport to HDMI, which will include Audio.
    With older MBP you will need a displayport to HDMI, if you want audio to the actually TV, then you will need to get a cable with either digital out from MBP to the HDMI, or USB audio mixed into the HDMI

    how can I connect two thunderbolt monitors to my macmini in windows 8 and bootcamp? Works fine in OSX

    Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

    Hello TchrDi,
    I suggest this article named Archived - iDVD: Troubleshooting issues with burning discs found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1583.
    It is pretty lengthy, but also pretty thorough.

  • HT2729 how do i play my iTunes movies on my newly purchase Sony Bravia tv

    Recently bought a Sony Bravia smart tv with wifi and I want to play my iTunes movies on it. Do I need to load an some apple app on the tv?

    Mirroring video to TVs from iOS needs either AppleTV or a Connection Adaptor.
    AppleTV: £99.00
    VGA (PC type cable) Adaptor: £25.00
    Composite (Phono Cable) Adaptor: £30.00
    HDMI Adaptor: £35.00
    To stream direct from iTunes you would need the AppleTV.

  • How do I save my slideshow in a format that will play on my DVD player?

    How do I save my slideshow to a DVD that will play in my DVD player?

    afaik, no, iMovie also relies on iDVD to do the actually burning to DVD.
    If you are looking for free software to do that, have a look at "SimplyBurns".            SimplyBurns rev416         
    I never tried it, since I have iDVD installed as part of the iLife Package, so I cannot vouch for it.

  • How make wireless connection with airport express to  Yamaha Clavinova CVP-403 ?

    I would like to wirelessly connect my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-403. I would like to use a D-link DWA 125 and my airport express. Does anyone has any experience on how to do that?

    Hi Henry - you seem to be a very helpful and knowledgeable person and I am wanting to dive in to the depths of wireless working at home and could probably do with your advice. I certainly don’t have as much knowledge as Jaybee and if he’s had problems I am feeling a little apprehensive.
    I know that the first thing I need to do is get an ethernet modem to use with Airport Express as I currently only have a USB modem. I was wondering if you have any recommendations or if I should go straight for the Netgear DSL modem/router (DG834B) that Jaybee ended up with. Although the bit about ‘disabling the Airport Express resp. Extreme routers’ scares me rigid
    I have looked at ‘About this Mac’ and got the following for you – hope it’s helpful.
    OSX 10.3.9
    1.33 HGz PowerPC G4 processor
    Airport Extreme: Worldwide
    Firmware: 400.17(3.90.34.0.p11)
    Airport admin utility: 4.2 (v420.31)
    My ISP is also Tiscali (UK) - they have said they can only provide modem support on the USB modem they provide so once I switch to an ethernet modem I’ll be on my own. I have checked the Tiscali website and found the following modems, so I would assume (probably unwisely) that they would be compatible with my account...
    Zoom X6 5590 DSL Modem (55907200) 
    D-Link DSL-300T 
    Zoom Hayes ADSL Ethernet (H0-15805) (081580572) 
    Any help is very gratefully received.

  • How do you connect separate VIs so data can be read in one and displayed in another?

    I am reading data from a Lock-In Amplifier. I have wrote a general VI for the Lock-In Amp. I need to transfer data from this VI to a Control VI which logs the data. The Control VI also has to read temperature readings from a Temperature control VI. All three VIs will be running on the same PC.
    The VIs must remain separate. The Control VI cannot read from the Lock-In Amp or aquire the temperature readings. Do you use ActiveX? If so, how?

    There are three relatively straightforward methods that come to mind, though the best implementation will depend upon the amount and rate of your data transfer.
    1) Queues
    Create a named queue, containing the appropriate data type(s). Add elements to the queue in the "Lock-In Amplifier" VI and remove elements from the queue in the general VI. This method may be the easiest to implement since all of the data handling mechanisms to ensure that data isn't lost or duplicated are built into the queue functions.
    2) Datasockets
    There are plenty of examples for transferring data via datasockets. I haven't used them as often as queues, but they're definitely the best choice in some circumstances.
    3) By Reference
    Create a reference in your general VI and pass th
    e reference to your "Lock-In Amplifier" VI in the process of calling it. Alternately, the reference could be stored as a global variable so that the programs could be started independently. The "Lock-In Amplifier" VI would then utilize a property node to write data to the referenced memory. Of course, this method would require polling and a mechanism for preventing data from being lost. This wouldn�t be my first choice method.
    Certainly there are other methods as well, but I hope this gives you a good start.

  • How can i restore from Recovery Disk if my notebook's hard drive and dvd drives are dead.

    Hi. Good day. My hard drive just crashed and im trying to restore from my restore disks. Unfortunately, my dvd is dead too. I copied the recovery disks to a new hard drive and tried booting from a flash drive but the noteebook is still giving me the SMART hd error message. Please help. Thanks.

    Hi,
    If you have, or can borrow an external CD/DVD drive it would be worth trying this although I'm not certain your notebook will support booting from a drive connected via USB.
    Another option may be to see if you can find a second hand optical drive on somewhere like Ebay - the drives compatible with your notebook can be found on Page 59 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.  It may even be worth removing a re-seating your existing drive just in case this helps as described in this section.
    Does the drive show up in Device Manager?  If it does, right click it and select Properties.  Select the driver tab and see if there is an error code in the status box.

  • I have a 32in 1080p Sony Bravia. and a early 2009 iMac 20in. i bought a mini Dvi to HDMI adaptor. And i have the HDMI cable. but every time i connect my iMac with my Tv my iMac screen turns blue then back to the desktop.

    i also click on detect displays and nothing happens.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the TV hooked up to the MacBook and both screens working. Do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
