HT5437 connect apple tv to Yamaha receiver RX-A1010

Want to set up Apple TV to Yamaha Receiver RX-A1010 and to use URC Harmony MX980 IR remote. No info available on Yamaha website or manual
Anyone done this?
Had Home theater set up by professionals - was hoping we could to this part ourselves.

I just got an Av receiver this week and connected an ATV to it. You connect from the ATV to one of the receivers HDMI inputs with an HDMI cable and then connect from the receiver's HDMI output to TV HDMI input. If your tv does not have HDMI ARC, also connect an optical digital cable between receiver and tv for sound. Just be sure to remember what input you used on the receiver to connect your ATV to so you can select that input to play the ATV.

Connecting apple tv to a receiver via optical cable

I connected my apple TV via a digital optical cable to the yamaha receiver RX-V477,but I have not figure out how to hear the music that is coming from the apple tv. Can you help me with the set-up in the yamaha receiver. Thanks

Hey mgrossi,
The Apple TV's optical digital-audio port, also known as as TOSLINK, carries both audio and video signal when used with the proper cable. See this article for reference -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Connect Apple TV 2 to Receiver

Hi
I have not bought Apple TV jet, but i'm thinking of doing it, but i do not know if i will be able to connect it to my sony receiver called: Sony STR-de495P
Here you see a photo of the receiver from behind:
So my question is, will I be able to connect Apple TV 2 to this, and how can I do it?
Best Regards
Emil

The ATV2 only has HDMI out for video. There's an optical out for audio too, but I don't know much about it.
If you only have RCA-in, you're out of luck for direct use, or you'll need to spend some extra dosh on a converter.
In my case, my TV has HDMI-in and a headphone out, so I just put a mini-stereo-to-RCA cable in place and I'm happy. YMMV depending on how "central" your receiver is to your setup.

Connecting apple tv through older receiver to older tv

I have an older (9 years) Yamaha a/v receiver and (same older) Pioneer Elite plasma tv. Neither has hdmi. I am attempting to connect to the receiver via optical cable for sound and RGB (component) connectors for video. I am going through the "D-TV" (digital tv) component hook-ups on the receiver. I get no picture.
I have tried apple's suggestion of changing the video mode ("menu" and "+" on the remote) to no effect.
The receiver and tv function fine in all other respects.
Is there something I am missing?
All sugestions gladly accepted!

The Apple TV doesn't output in RGB, its component signals are YCbCr. However, I suspect that your TV is also expecting YCbCr so this isn't the likely problem (i.e. it's just a mistake in your terminology). In any case, if your plasma TV supports only RGB then the YCbCr signals won't work without an color space converter.

Connecting apple tv through stereo receiver

I just bought apple tv and wanted to know if it's possible to connect it through my HDMI stereo receiver instead of directly through my tv. I ask this because I don't want to have to take the tv off the wall and feed cables through the wall unless I have to. Thanks.

I have the apple tv connected to HDMI input 2 on the stereo receiver and set the tv to HDMI 2. what do i need to set the stereo receiver to?
Assuming that your TV is connected to the HDMI output of your receiver, you just need to figure out how to route HMDI 2 to the HDMI Output. How to do this depends on the receiver. You should search for forums that are specific your model to get more detailed help.

How to connect apple tv2 to receiver

Apple tv is connected to tv via hdmi - working perfectly. But i would like to connect apple tv to my receiver as well - for surround sound on movies and for streaming audio from the computer.
My receiver has 3 optical ports in addition to the DVD coax ( CD, CDR and TV) which one do i use to connect from apple tv - none seem to work.
Apple TV set to dolby output.
receiver digital in is turned on
No sound from the receiver
Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to use one of the optical ports.
Are you sure they are optical ports.
Are you sure you are matching the input to the output correctly on the receiver.
Have you tried adjusting the audio out and Dolby digital settings on the Apple TV.

My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver. This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

Apple tv connected to yamaha receiver via hdmi, but only plays in stereo

I have connected my new apple tv 2 to my yamaha receiver, but it is only playing hd content in stereo. I am using the same hdmi cable that I had previously used on a PS3, so I know that it is capable of receiving 5.1 content. I have tried streaming hd content from Netflix as well as hd videos from apple tv, but both are still just playing audio in stereo format. I have played with all the settings on the apple tv, but nothing is working. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that the content is 5.1 as I have tried various HD programming streamed from my iPad, on Apple TV, and HD shows streamed from Netflix. I have tried the Dolby Digital setting in both "Auto" and "On" settings and neither appears to work. I would assume that HD content would play in 5.1?

I just bought apple tv and would like to set it up for my family for christmas. i have a samsung tv and yamaha receiver. where do i plug in hdmi? i assume into receiver but not sure. also, plug is on back of receiver so much get behind all equipment

i just bought apple tv and would like to set it up so it works right away. i have samsung tv and yamaha receiver. do i plug hdmi into receiver? i assume plugs are in back of machined so i have to get behind all electronic equipment? does that make sense?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your receiver is connected to your TV by HDMI and has a spare HDMI input port, then yes plug the HDMI cable from the Apple TV into your receiver.
If that's not possible the HDMI lead from the Apple TV can go straight to the TV and you can connect the receiver to the Apple TV with an optical audio cable.

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.

How to connect apple tv to NAD T748 AV Receiver

Hi All, Trying to connect apple tv to NAD T748 home theatre.
Any one achieved this?

Thanks, discovered the only way I could get it to work was to run an HDMI cable from my Apple TV to TV's HDMI 2. HDMI 1 then runs from TV to HDMI out on T748 AV Receiver
Could not find any reference to HDCP for NAD T748 or TV
TV = Samsung UA40C6200UMXRD

HT5437 apple configurator didn't recognize my USB connected Apple TV.

apple configurator didn't recognize my USB connected Apple TV. should it be a problem if no display connected? cause the plugs space of apple TV for connection is only enough with either micro-USB or HDMI.

Apple Configurator 1.4.2 is said to support Configuration Profiles for the Apple TV using the "Apple TV assistant" located in the "window" option.
However, I do believe you need to be on Mountain Lion or higher to perform and receive an update to 1.4.2, but I could be wrong.

Connecting Mac Mini to AV Receiver

I thought this would be simple. I purchased a Mac Mini today with the thought of connecting it through my AV receiver to my LG tv. Here's what I did:
1) brought it home from the store
2) plugged an HDMI cable into the Mac Mini, and the other end into my receiver (Yamaha RX-V3800)
3) there is another HDMI cable that goes from my receiver to my LG tv (LG Infinia 50PK950)
4) turned everything on, turned the receiver to the correct input that I plugged the Mac Mini HDMI cable into...
... and I get nothing.
The Mac Mini is on, the blue light is on.
Do I need to perform some sort of set up on the mini before I can connect it to my tv to use the tv as a monitor?
Did I connect the wrong HDMI cable?
Is it not compatible?
I thought it would be an easy connection if I went Mac Mini > HDMI > Yamaha AV Receiver > HDMI > LG Infinia 50PK950 TV.
Any help?

Yup - tried connecting it through 2 different HDMI inputs on the tv, and tried different HDMI cables in case that was the problem. All I'm getting is "No Signal" on the tv.
I can run a PS3 through my receiver via HDMI and to the tv and it works fine.
I think the first step at this point is to verify that the actual mini is working since I just pulled it out of the box and connected it. The blue light is on and it sounds like it is on but I haven't been able to see it on any monitor or tv.
Should I be able to just connect straight from the mini to a tv using an HDMI cable? I don't have a mouse or keyboard plugged in either, I only have the wireless apple ones.

How to connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp s35

How do I connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp.s35 tv? I connected to one of my pioneer receiver's hdmi ports but when I cycle through the inputs I can't find apple tv. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't have or indeed know anything about your receiver, but unless the Apple TV can see an active device and connect via HDMI it won't turn on. You will need to set your receiver to use the correct input and then turn on the Apple TV.

How to connect Apple TV

I am about to purchase an Apple TV. Want to be certain I understand what I need in terms of cables and understanding wireless connections. Our setup is as follows: An Imac G5 Isight running Tiger / Mac OS X 10.4 11 in back room. We have a modem from Verizon for DSL and a Netgear router connected to our Direct TV via a cat cable,running under house into front room. to receive On Demand content from Direct TV. We are not using the router wirelessly and have the Imac connected through ethernet for the internet. So I do not really understand how wireless works. In the front room we have a Sony Bravia LCD flatscreen, a Denon receiver. I understand I can connect the apple tv to the Sony or the Denon with a HTML cable. What I don't get is connecting the Imac to the apple TV. OH I do have a Airport Express base station. Do I need to purchase something else to help me connect wirelessly? My husband could run an ethernet cable under the house or through the attic but I would like to avoid that if possible. We could decide to forgot the On Demand content from Direct TV as we don't use it too much and use the Netgear WGT624 router to connect wirelessly???
Can you nice tech smart folks help me ? I really appreciate it.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
I'm assuming you are looking for the princples here and not specific set up instructions. I don't believe the method described above is correct and would advise the following:
It isn't clear whether your netgear router supports wifi or not, if it does simply set up the wifi connection between the router and the tv, the tv and your mac can communicate with each other over a mixed wifi/ethernet network provided all devices are on the same subnet.
If the netgear doesn't support wifi then you will need to connect the express to the router by ethernet and set it up in bridging mode, again he tv and your mac can communicate with each other over a mixed wifi/ethernet network.
In terms of connecting your tv, tv and receiver, you have two options:
connect the tv to the receiver by HDMI and the receiver to the tv by HDMI, or
connect the tv to the receiver by optical cable and the tv to the tv by HDMI.
My personal preference is for the second option.
