How do I play Apple TV through auxiliary speaker system?

Please help. I am trying to use my Apple TV to play movies with the sound instead of going through the TV through a speaker system. The only Input for the speaker is a Female Auxiliary. I do not have an Auxiliary Output with my TV. Is it possible to run the audio through my AirTunes Express Auxiliary? That is how I play music through my computer into the speakers. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

The Apple TV outputs a digital signal over an optical cable, you would need to convert this to an analog signal for your sound system. You can do this with a DAC (Example Only -Not a recommendation or suggestion that this is suitable in your circumstances).

  • How can I play my ipad through my TEAC speaker

    I have a 2/3 year old single TEAC speaker with no airplay functionality. How can I play my ipad through this speaker, preferably without wires
    Thanks

    If you're just looking to play audio, the easiest way is to buy an AirPort Express and connect your stereo to the miniplug jack, then play using AirPlay. That's how I do it! And as an added bonus, it can extend your wireless network.

    An AppleTV would work too, if you're also looking to stream video.

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Apple TV...how to connect to get sound through my sound system (I have a satellite receiver and also Russound system)

    Just hooked up my Apple TV.  It's great.  I have a satellite receiver and also a multi room sound system where I would like the sound to come through.  Can anyone tell me how I would connect to accomplish this.  My HDMI is connected so the sound is coming through my TV just fine.  I would like it to come through my sound system instead.  Your assistance is very much appreciated.

    Hi:
    My system is as follows.  1 only HDMI output on TV.  I purchased an HDMI switch box/unit.  I have the output from the Switch Box Unit going into my TV. 
    I have 5 inputs on the switch box unit.  2 I have used.....
    1 input from my television satellite receiver
    2 input from my Apple TV
    My other equipment is
    1 home theatre system.  This is where the sound from my TV goes through
    1 russ sound whole home sound distribution system
    When I play my Apple TV I am still getting the sound of my satellite TV.
    This suggests that your satellite receiver is connected to your "home theater system" (which I will shorten to AVR "Audio/Video Receiver") for audio. Is this correct?
    If so, then your problem is that you're switching video inputs, but not audio, and what I listed as (2) applies:
    2. You can connect the ATV to the TV using HDMI. Then you can either:
       2a. Connect the TV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
       2b. Connect the ATV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
    You've connected the ATV to the "switch box" instead of the TV, which amounts to the same thing, as you're just expanding the number of HDMI ports on the TV by using the switch. So your simplest solution is either 2a or 2b. If your TV has an audio out port, and it's the same kind of port that your satellite receiver uses, you can just disconnect the audio cable from the satellite receiver and plug it into your TV. You may have to enable "external speakers" or whatever they call it in the TV settings. This would be best, because then you wouldn't have to change inputs on the AVR to select the correct audio; you would just change inputs on the switch, and both video and audio would switch between the satellite box and the ATV, solving your problem. Note that an optical cable is required to get Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (surround sound), and I mention that because it's possible you're using an analog audio (RCA) cable. So an optical cable is best.
    Beyond this, I would really need to know your TV and AVR model numbers, preferably accompanied by links to specification pages or manuals, and it would be very helpful to know how the satellite receiver is connected to the AVR for sound.

  • How do i play video simultaneously through airplay and on iPhone

    Hi, I'm currently using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2, and i require playback of video via AirPlay to a projector from here and it works perfectly fine with a wifi plug-in bought separately. However, i wish to have playback on both the projector screen and my iPhone, but iPhone only shows a TV-out screen. My teacher says it could be a mechanism to help the phone save on energy during playback by choosing to only play the video through AirPlay and not on the iPhone Called Apple Support but i didn't really get the answer that i needed. Will this problem be solved if i used an Apple TV instead? Or are there existing third-party apps available that will help me achieve my desired effect?

  • I have an old tv.  Can I play apple tv through my set top box?

    The guy at the apple store told me I could play apple tv via my set top box as long as the box has a HDMI slot.   It is not working and I am wondering if the slot is input only?   Really out of my depth here!

    It would need HDMI or the three component jacks to input to.
    DirectTV box has HDMI out but not in.
    Best is to see if your TV has the component video jacks or multiple HDMI and switch via your TV remote.
    For example my Bravia has 2 sets of component input and 3 HDMI inputs.
    Hopefully, you have a newer TV.

  • How to play Mozaic over car radio speaker system without static?

    Playing Zen Mozaic over Car?s Radio Speaker system without static?
    I just purchased a Zen Mozaic and want to use it primarily for playing books downloaded from the local library over our car?s radio speaker system without static.
    I purchased a cheap audio cable to connect the zen to the AUX interface in the car but I understand that trying to play it over the car runs into the problem of bad static.
    Is there some device that will allow me to play the Mozaic over the car radio system without static?
    Thanks very much.
    Bruce? [email protected]

    D? Are you simply plugging a jack from the headphone output on the Zen into a headphone-like input on your stereo? That sould work fine, with possibly only slight "whine". If you are wiring into the back of your stereo, it should work just as well unless you have poorly shielded cables or your car has crummy sparkplugs. Do a Google search on this---what you are doing in case 2 is common on motorcycles and they will tell you how to use a resistor circuit to cut down on ignition interference.
    You can also either use a cassette adapter (if your stereo has a cassette player) or an FM transmitter (many varieties of these). The FM transmitter works well, but you'll pick up static and interference if you dri've into an area where an actual FM station is using that frequency. You just have to "change channels" on your radio and transmitter in this case---simple. The sound is pretty good (not as good as direct cable or cassette adapter) and is more than adequate for books.

  • Playing Apple TV through my Onkyo receiver requires the TV to be powered on, can this be avoided?

    My Apple tv is connected to an HDMI input on my Onkyo receiver and plays perfrctly but requires the TV connected to the HDMI output to be powered on to play music thtough the received, is there a way to play music through the receiver without having the TV powered on?

    According to the following thread, it looks like the TV has to be on in order to play music:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17638488#17638488
    My wild guess is they were trying to close some kind of security (DRM) hole and ended up making the AppleTV less useful for streaming music than an AirPort Express. Sigh.

  • How can I play Premiere Pro through headphones on a Mac?

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 on a Mac running OS X 10.9.4 on a Mac Pro (the silver tower version, not the newest one).  Premiere plays fine though the system speakers.  However I can't get it to play through headphones, plugged into the tower.  I've selected headphones in System Preferences and the headphones work fine with applications like iTunes.  However, there doesn't seem to be anything I can find in Premiere's preferences to set audio output to headphones, as the playback continues to be through the computer speakers.  I've seen others post with this issue, but I have found no solutions.  Any ideas how to fix this?
