How do i hook my ATV through my surround sound and then to my TV?

Hi,
I have just bought a Samsung HT-Z120 to play music and video with my ATV through my TV. However i have a slight issue connecting everything together harmonously.
Currently i have 3 RCA components connecting the TV to the Samsung HT-Z120 (surrond sound system) and a HDMI cable connecting my ATV to my TV.
I need to connect the ATV directly to the surround sound but the connections i have left on my surrond sound and ATV are an optical output on the ATV and a audio out and video jack on my surround sound. I know this is a silly question as one is fibre optic and the other is analogue, but is there anyway to connect all this together?

No unfrotunatley there is no HDMI output on the surround, neither is there an optical. All i have is 2 rca point and 3 rca component point. I bought it second hand thinking it was a good deal, however i now realise my mistake.
Im not sure im going to be able to make this work, unless there is a magic answer involving the two remaining audio jacks from the surround.
Thanks for both of your replies...
The Apple TV only supports HDMI and Optical Output. I took a look at your Samsung product specifications online and it is a bare bones unit. You will not be able to connect the Apple TV to your Samsung product.

  • How do I play my shuffle through my surround sound system via a USB port?

    Help! Love my new shuffle. Would love to play it through my LG surround system that has a USB port on the front. I connected my docking usb with shuffle in and it tells me there is no data. Is it not as simple as this? Don't seem to be able to find any info from the manuals.
    Thanks

    Use a cable with 3.5mm mini plug on each end and connect one end to the system's audio-in and the other to the shuffle's earphone jack.
    Shuffle doesn't play through USB without a special adaptor that interfaces it to normal iPod "universal" dock connections...

  • After connecting my Apple TV this morning, I have no sound. It is hooked up to play through my television speakers. Any ideas on how to get sound? Also, I tried hooking it up through my surround receiver, but could not get it to come up on my ty screen.

    Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
    Also make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
    Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

  • As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    Apps and many other purchases are tied to the iTunes Store account via which they were purchased. So if you buy the app, that app is tied to your iTunes Store account. Without that account information, the child could not update the app nor back it up.
    I'd also suggest giving the child an iTunes gift card or gift certificate along with the iPod. If the child is too young to have and manage his or her own iTunes Store account, then his or her parent could set up an iTunes Store account to purchase the apps. That could be done with that gift card and not need a credit card. You can also gift specific apps, though again that would require the child or a parent to open an iTunes Store account through which to redeem the gift. For more information on gift options, see:

  • Not able to get the sound from my tv to come through my surround sound speakers

    I have a new Samsung 46" tv and a new yamaha receiver also a new Samsung blu-ray player.  I currently have an HDMI cable going from my tv to my receiver and a short HDMI cable going to my Blu-ray player and the old style red and white rca cables from my tv to my receiver.  The surround sound works great when playing  the blu-ray but no luck when watching regular tv.  I have tried to change the tv speakers to external speakers but all is silent when i do that.  I have read on the other post of similiar problems and the solution seemed to be using an optical digital cable.  I have also read on prior post that i should be able to accomplish this with just the HDMI cable.  I do not have a cable box only a cable line coming into the house and straight to the tv.  Do i even need the rca cables? 

    When i purchased the equipment from best buy i told them what all i was trying to accomplish and this is the exact way i was told to make the connections keep in mind i know nothing when it comes to electronics so i wrote the instructions from the salesrep word for word.  Here is what I have. My tv is located on one side of the room and receiver and blu-ray on the other about 25' from each other.  I have regular cable coming to the tv   and I have an HDMI cable coming from HDMI (DVI- IN)  on the tv to HDMI(OUT) on my RX-V367 receiver. the i have a short HDMI cable going from my receiver (HDMI/DVD) to my blu-ray (HDMI out).  My RCA cables came into play when I told the rep. that I wanted my tv sound to come through my surround sound. He said they did not have a digital optical cable with a length of 25' to reach from tv to receiver so I would have to use RCA cables and to connect them from (audio component IN) on my tv to (AV OUT) on my tv.  The input on my receiver when watching tv in on HDMI 1.

  • How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

    How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
    site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

    First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word.  I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ).  Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
    Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver.  Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

  • Hooking all my components to surround sound

    ok, i bought a sony home theater system with surround sound. the problem is i can only hook up 2 compnents to the system because there are only 2 inputs, the standard rca type audio input and an s-cable input. doesn't someone make a product to defeat this. in other words something that i can hook all my audio inputs into and then hook this into an input on the surround system and then choose whatever i need to input into the system. any feedback will be much appreciated. Terry

    the home theater system is a Sony DAV-DZ175 which has the dvd player built into it, i have my Blueray player already hooked into it via the optic cable, (not an s-cable) but I have a dvd-vcr component and a gaming system (Wii) that i would like to try and hook into the sound system, occasionally i use my laptop on the tv and would like to get that hooked in also if possible.

    If you ordered Acrobat via subscription, then you can use either Windows or Mac version.  Just download/install the Mac version, then activate it with your Adobe ID.
    If you purchased the perpetual license, then you need to Contact Customer Care bu chat or phone.

    have an ipod and then got the wife an iphone4. all passwords are screwed up. she can not access playstore cuz she doesn't have password. i can not get find any help on how to get or update a password for the ipod. and then get her a separate password for her iphone. we need to save her photos, music, etc to ? icloud and the phone stuff to verizon cloud? so when she gets her new Iphone6 she can have all her "stuff" back on the new phone. hope this makes sense. please offer suggestions here or at [email protected] thanks for your help!

    Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.
