How to connect Apple TV to DVD blu-ray home theatre

Hi guys, I am planning to buy Apple TV2 and I was wondering is there setup guide for connecting to HDTV and home theatre system. I currently have LG HDTV and LG DVD Blu-ray Home Theatre. They are connected with HDMI 1.3 cable and I had to get optical cable to get sound from TV to Home theatre.
How is Apple TV fits into that? I have 1 HDMI slot free on TV and 2 HDMI inputs on DVD system.
I was thinking just to connect Apple TV to DVD via HDMI? Would that put sound on home theatre system?
Thank you in advance.

You have read home theatre manual about playing sound from external device.
You doesn't need to connect home theatre to tv at all as you have get video from apple tv.
Connect video output from apple tv to tv(may carry sound along) and optical cable from apple tv to home theatre.
That will do. You can mute sound of tv(in case hdmi carry sound along) or using other function(on samsung ) and hear from home theatre sound from speakers.

  • How do I region lock a DVD/Blu-Ray drive?

    I want to region lock my drives. So e.g. I want to lock a DVD drive on one computer to region 1 and another drive on another computer(or the same computer) to region 2. Is there a safe fool proof way of doing that? Thanks.

    Hi
    It's not a relevant question - In iDVD forum as
    iDVD - can only make one region setting = region 0 (Zero)
    This means that DVDs if made for the right TV-Standard (NTSC or PAL) will play in ALL REGIONS.
    TV-Standard - is something else and can be set for each new DVD project.
    • PAL = 25 frames per second (fps) (EU)
    • NTAC = 29.97 fps (USA)
    Do not let iDVD convert material from one to the other ! iDVD tries to do it - BUT RESULTING DVD is poor or Worse.
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer) to do this - does it so much better and is free)

  • How to connect soundblaster 5.1 VX to my home theatre

    Im rather stumped as to how to go about doing the above.
    There's no line out on the sound card and my PC speakers are already using the given inouts which means that i have to use a splitter?
    ?I have a AUX input (RCA) on my audio recevier which im thinking of linking it up to my soundcard.
    Any suggestions pls?

    There is no way to create a real Dolby sound unfortunately. The mac currently only supports 2 channel outputs. There are interfaces you can buy that will separate the bass and send it to the subwoofer, and fake a 5 channel sound field, but ultimately it will only run 2 sets of stereo speakers, and one mono in the middle, so it is not true surround sound.
    Here's a similar thread with more information if you are interested:
    How can I connect 5.1 speakers to Macbook Pro 13 bought Summer 2011
    I wish there were a way to do it, I personally am a recording musician and an audiophile, and have looked for the same thing on several occasions. But unfortunately at the time, it seems as though there is not the hardware to do it.

    Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter?
    If you can find such a thing.  I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.
    would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.     
    That would depend on this adapter.

  • How to connect Apple TV with AT&T Uverse

    Need help pls.  Not sure how to connect Apple TV2 to AT&T Uverse.  I know I need to connect one cable to my wireless router, and another cable from the HDMI port to my TV.  That part is clear.  But my Uverse router is in an upstairs closet, and my TV is downstairs in the living room - too far apart to connect cables to both devices from my ATV2.   Do I need to somehow put a bridge router next to my TV, so that I can connect my ATV2 to both my bridge router and to my TV?  Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with air play

    Hi...how to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with AirPlay

    Hi. Your Apple TV should be connected to the TV (I'm using HDMI cables) and connected to the internet via a wireless or ethernet connection.
    The best way to test AirPlay is to play a movie trailer from the iTunes store. When you play a trailer you will see the AirPlay symbol at the bottom of the screen. Click on it and it will show your AirPlay devices - in your case the Apple TV. Select it an your video and sound will come out of your TV.
    I hope this helps. Google the AirPlay symbol. I tried to paste it into this message with no success.

    Follow the steps below to resolve this error message:
    Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the Sony product and the router or modem.
    If the Sony product still does not detect the router or modem, try connecting the Ethernet cable to a different LAN jack (if available) on the router or modem .

  • How do I make interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion?

    So, adobe doesn't support Encore anymore which means I can't use dynamic link to AE to create interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion.... or can I? Is there something I'm doing wrong? While in Encore, I go to dynamic link and boom, dynamic link to AE is not highlighted. If I can't make an interactive menu with motion using adobe, then what can I use? This is causing a major problem for me and my clients. (if i over looked the answer to this in another post, my apologies)

    You can use the "Create After Effects Composition." This prompts you to create an independent version of the Encore PSD menu file, and opens the layered file in AE CC and creates a new composition with appropriate settings. AE no longer has mpeg export, so you export from AE to AME.
    There were some workflow options that I did not play with much, but they were never what I saw as the basics for using AE to create the motion background.
    You need to understand these two help pages:

  • In anticipating upgrading to Premiere Elements 13, I need to know what "gotchas" there might be in loading project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

    Particularly, can I load project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

    cbjameson
    What computer operating system is involved?
    There is no guarantee that a project created in an earlier version can be opened in a later one. Many times it can, but...
    If you do try this, then please consider working from a copy of the project 10 project file and then trying to open that in 13/13.1.
    Reason: projects created in an earlier version and then opened and edited in a later version cannot be opened again in the
    earlier version.
    And, there is always the issue of maintaining the connect of the source media with the project file. Is this move from 10 to 13/13.1
    happening on the same computer and are the source media in the same place where they were when they were first imported
    into the 10 project. Disc menus consideration may enter into this depending on your details.

    No you cannot.
    You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer.  You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

  • HP DVDWBD TS-LB23L stopped detecting DVD/BLU-RAY

    Laptop info:
    HP Pavillion dv8-1190eo (5 months old)
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
    In the middle of watching a DVD movie, the player stopped working. The movie "froze", didn't start on its own, so I removed the DVD from the tray to check for scratches and dirt on the DVD (and found none but even cleaned it anyway). This was the last time the DVD/Blu Ray player worked. It has been possible to play a single audio CD but other than this, the device does not even detect that any CD/DVD/BLU RAY is in the tray. I have tried with approximately 12 different DVD's, including DVD's that it has played flawlessly before, including brand new DVDs and brandnew writeable DVDs.
    What happens on loading a disc in the tray is:
    1. it makes a sounds as if attempting to read the disc
    2. the small disc icon appears briefly next to the curser
    but nothing more. When checking START --> COMPUTER it shows the Blu-ray Disc-ROM-drive but it doesn't show that any disc is in the tray. When double clicking the drive, the tray opens with an "insert disc" message.
    With the aid of HP Phone Support over the phone, we have checked the registry to see if there were any conflicts (e.g. iTunes and similar). Everything was ok.
    Then we restored to an earlier point where the devise was working but to no avail.
    Then we downloaded the driver from HP's site and installed it, but to no avail. Upon a second attempt of installing the driver, we received an error message: "This software is for Windows Vista, Windows Vista WMC, Windows 7, Windows 7 WMC". According to HP Phone Support it is indeed the correct file for Windows 7 64 bit.
    I have also tried running HP Support Assistant to trouble shoot, but this is not working as it asks that I load a writeable disc to perform the test. It does not detect the writeable disc I put into the tray, so I cannot perform this test.
    According to device manager, the device is working properly.
    HP Phone Support's suggestion is that I make a complete restore. This means taking full backup of all data (which I should do anyway), restore, and then install everything I have on my computer again. I am not happy to do this as it is quite a bit
    of time consuming work. The other option is to let HP Support pick up the laptop and send it for repair and be without the computer for a minimum of 10 work days (which would easily be 3 weeks or more) which is not really an option for me.
    I can see from these forums that I am not the only one experiencing problems with the DVDWBD TS-LB23L, although HP Phone Support refuses that this is a "known issue".
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for your fast reply.
    It is indeed HP warranty support that I have spoken with in length yesterday, and more briefly today. They give me the options between complete restore which they will guide me through over the phone (as stated above, this is a quite time consuming procedure with full backup, restore, then reinstall of all software, then backup copied back to laptop), or alternatively, to pick up the laptop and send it to repair which means I would be without computer for at least 2 weeks, but most likely 3 weeks or more - this is not an option to me as I don't have a spare computer, and there are obligations which I can't meet without a working computer at home.

  • Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

    Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

    The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
    There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

  • Connecting TV to Blu-Ray Home Theater

    I have a 46G310U LCD TV and a Sony HBD-E770W Blu-Ray Home Theater and I cannot get the sound from the TV to come through the Home Theater.  I have followed what I can determine from both owner's manuals and cannot get it to work.  I currently have an HDMI cable connecting both and analog audio cables plugged in.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated; I would really like the sound from my XBox to go through the Surround Sound and not the TV.
    Thanks!

    You can get an optical audio cable to connect those 2 devices that should bring all the TV sound (including games) to the AV system.  Don't be ripped off, you can get your cable for under $5.  Look at like  http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10​229&cs_id=1022901&p_id=1419&seq=1&format=2
