HT1586 Is it possible to connect my Apple TV to a TV withouth an HDMI port

I have just bought an Apple TV but my TV does not have a HDMI port - can i use it on this TV and if so what connectors do i need?

Hi @kateaird.Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and congratulation on your new Apple TV.
Unfortunately the latest generations of Apple TV only output video through an HDMI port. While the first generation also had component video and RCA stereo audio ports, they were removed in the second generation.
However, there are HDMI to 3RCA 3-RCA Video Component converter which you can purchase, to connect your Apple TV to a TV that does not have HDMI port.
I hope that helps.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable and pass thru dolby digital. I do not have optical inputs on my receiver.

    I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.

    Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital.

  • HT202157 is it possible to connect an Apple TV and a Roku to your tv without first disconnecting one or the other?

    Is it possible to connect both an Apple TV and Roku without first disconnecting one or the other. In other words, connecting both devices to the tv simultaneously? I'm sure it depends on the number of ports, audio/tv available, and if so, do they make a splitter that would accomodate this???

    Hi. Got to App Store and download the Remote app. It's an app that makes your iPad or iPhone a remote for the Apple TV! I like it especially if you need to type a lot text.

  • How do I connect my apple tv to my tv when the HDMI  is being used for the freeview box?

    I have an apple tv that I want to set up to my tv.  Currently the HDMI on my tv is connected to the HDMI on the freeview box we have.  How do I connect all three?

    You can buy an HDMI splitter or switcher to take two (or more) inputs into one port.  Just put a search into your search engine and they will come up or visit your local electronic shop.

  • Can I make a connection from Apple TV to HD television other than HDMI?

    Question:
    With only 2 HDMI ports on my HD TV, and the apparent need for 3 -1 for a Blu-Ray DVD player, 1 for connection to Apple TV, and one to connect to HD cable modem, I feel stuck.
    What do I have to do, how much will i be giving up?
    Is getting a cable box with two HDMI connectors the solution?
    Or other equipment?
    Tthanks,

    Cable modems do not have HDMI ports and do not connect to tvs.  Maybe you mean a cable set-top box?

  • How to connect my apple TV to an analogue ampli / hifi system

      Hello, i have been looking for an answer to this question for quite some time.
    I would like to stream my music on my hifi system using apple TV as an airport express.
    I found out that this was possible by connecting the apple TV through the optical port to my hifi system.
    My ampli has only analague RCA ports. Is there a way to link these two with a good quality? I found "Digital to analogue converter" on the web but will it work? which brand should i choose to get a good quality?
    thank you very much

    You can use the remote app on iPhone but that would require home sharing to be setup and both on the same network. If that's not the case you will need a new remote.

  • Is it possible to connect to PC

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it possible to connect the Apple LED Cinema Display to my pc.
    I really like the monitors but I don't like the OSX so I'm sticking to W7.
    I've been told I need to buy an adapter to make this work. Is this correct?
    Can anyone help me out?
    I really need someone who knows what he is talking about, 'cus this is a big investment for me!
    My computer specs (if needed) :

    The graphics card in your PC needs to have a Mini DisplayPort (no adapter required) or DisplayPort (cheap adapter to the Mini variety required) port - also the graphicsa card needs to not be one of the Radeon 5xxx ones that has problems with the ACD - the 4890 or later 5xxx cards work fine, check online for reports of success with a particular card before you buy one as there were some where it didn't work due to ATI incompletely implementing DisplayPort.

  • Failing to connect via HDMI port on Marantz sr7002 AV receiver.

    I tested the HDMI ports with other equipment and they work fine. The Apple TV works fine when connected directly to the TV, but I need the HDMI port on the TV to connect the AV receiver. I do get the sound from the automated voice ("please connect keyboard...., etc.) through the sound system, but no signal is reaching the TV when I connect the Apple TV to the AV receiver. I tried different HDMI ports, different cables, etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help!  Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
    Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
    Do I need a cable too and which one?
    Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.
