Kanex ATV Pro + Apple TV + Sony Bravia KLV-S40A10

I purchased a Kanex ATV Pro to provide VGA input from my Apple TV to my Sony Bravia KLV-S40A10 as my model does not have HDMI input. I have checked the VGA input on the TV with a laptop which works correctly however when the Kanex ATV Pro is used the TV shows an out of range error, could anyone provide guidance with this problem please.

This is a user to user forum - not many of us have the Kanex device - I've been meaning to order one.
You may get an answer but I still think Kanex would know best.

  • Apple TV 3 not working with Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A

    CURRENT GENERATION APPLE TV (3)
    Hi I recently bought an ATV 3 which works fine with a Panasonic TV but is not detected on the HDMI input (or any of the others listed in the Sony menu) by a several year old Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A despite the specs saying it supports 1080 p HDMI input. The HDMI lead is the same that worked successfully with the Panasonic TV.  I have reset the Sony to factory settings, turned the power on and off; cut the power to the ATV 3 and re-booted and tried the fixes I've seen listed on other threads which speak of editing the External Input labels and skipping the ones you don't use (on the Sony) but none of these have helped, can anyone help?
    Thanks

    That does make things more difficult. Is the monitor HDCP compliant? Seeing as it's an issue with the display and not the device the only thing I could suggest is to get hold of another TV in order to lower the resolution on ATV. If that doesn't work then i'm not really sure what else to try i'm afraid.

  • Kanex ATV Pro VGA to S-Video?

    Anybody using a Kanex ATV Pro with an Apple TV, know if a simple VGA to S-Video, or composite cable will allow it to be used with an older CRT Television?

    Rudegar, you may not have seen this:

    We normally say that converters are a bad idea but if Apple sell this it is presumably supported.
    I've got an old VGA projector and am tempted to get one.

    bit of a shame as this cable/convertor was recommended on these boards by another user and was definately not cheap
    I may have recommended this based on my own experience with it and the fact that it is designed for AppleTV specifically and is actually sold by Apple.
    Have you contacted Kanex support to query what the issue might be?
    Might be worth trying to cycle display resolutions with the remote, see black screen recovery:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3176
    I have not used mine for a few months as I got a new HDMI equipped projector - it is not impossible that Apple have scuppered functionality with a software update though.
    If you cannot get it to work can you return it to the vendor?  I would not have recommended this device if Apple weren't selling it for this very purpose - even if a software update prevented protected content playback it should not stop you using Airplay of non-protected material.
    My suspicion would be some kind of incompatibility when the device is working out what resolutions the projector supports.  It could even be a faulty Kanex adapter.

  • Kanex ATV Pro experience

    Has anyone else had the experience of video dropping from using the Kanex ATV Pro with Apple TV?
    I just picked one up at the Apple Online store. The Kanex ATV Pro (http://www.kanexlive.com/atvpro) is a 3rd party dongle that plugs into the hdmi port of the Apple TV and splits the audio onto a female 1/8 and the video to VGA (for then connecting to a projector). (You see, I own a projector, but not a flat screen TV or other HDMI-input display).
    Anyway, things were working well for the first couple days but now I get these random drops of the video feed from the AppleTV. The projector goes blue screen for 2 seconds then the feed is back. Completely random too. Sometimes as often as 30 seconds. Sometimes as long as 3 minutes. Makes the AppleTV completely unusable.
    So my question: is the problem the Kanex or the Apple TV? I have reinstalled (restored to factory settings) the OS on my ATV but that didn't help
    I will continue to fiddle with things to see if I can get stable performance again.
    thanks

    Our projectors are old school and ceiling mounted... even if they had HD inputs, there would be no convenient way to get to them, plus I would be using OTHER folks' projectors on the road with no control over their inputs.
    IF I do get near a projector that HAS HD inputs, I would still need an adapter correct? Presumably one from the docking port that terminates with hdml...
    SO should I spend the extra money on the ATV Pro?

We know how to set it up, but what setting do you put your tv on!?!?!? we have tried everything, but it wont work!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, I have connected my mbpr directly to a Sony Bravia using an hdmi cable, then set the tv to use the corresponding input port, and it works just fine. Have also connected via airplay -> appletv -> tv (with the last connection via an hdmi cable), which also works fine.

  • I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

    I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

    Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
    On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.  Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection.  Check your connections.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown.  You should see a picture at this point.  I  recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

    Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

  • Unsupported output signal for Sony Bravia KLV-32T550A

    I have a mac mini 2007 running 10.6.3. I am trying to connect to a sony bravia KLV-32T550A either through VGA or DVI. Both keep coming up with error message (unsupported output signal, adjust your pc signal)
    I have updated setting on the TV as per some forums I have read so am sure its not the TV.
    Now the TV says the native resolution is 1366 x 768 but there is no exact match in display settings. Could this be the problems.
    I have read that i can download switchresx and this should fix the problem.
    Can anyone shed any light on this it would be much appreciated>
    Thanks

    Definitely the second computer can be a big help. If you set up Screen Sharing between the two so that the mini's screen is shared over to the MacBook, you will be able to see the mini's screen on the MacBook even though the display connected to the mini is dark. And from the MacBook you will even be able to control the mini, so you can go into Displays Preferences on the mini and make alternate selections for resolution and, if necessary, refresh rate. Hopefully you will hit on a combination that will light up the mini's attached display.

  • MacBook Pro connection to Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX308

    Hi,
    Can I use Apple's VGA Adapter to connect my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.5.8) to Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX308. Is it compatiable? If not, which adapter I should buy?
    Thank you in advance.

    I had the same problem with a 1080i Bravia Sony and a MacBook Pro connected with a DVI-HDMI lead - it turned out to be a very simple solution - you have to make sure you are looking at the right AV channel on the TV. The mapping of AV1-6 to the ports on the back is not obvious at all (in this case it was AV4 that was the correct AV port). The Bravia also has the option to skip AV channels if desired - so if in the preferences you have disabled ports then you need to make them available to skip through.
    The picture is very sharp indeed with a DVI-HDMI lead - far far superior to a vanilla SVGA cable. Sound is automatically selected from an analogue input (2xphono) on one of the HDMI ports so make sure you select the right one on the back.
    (p.s. just to emphasize - the DVI-HDMI does not map to the 'PC' port it is another AV channel)

  • Connecting my macbook pro 13" to Sony bravia via mini Displayport to HDMI

    Hi,
    yesterday I bought a new LCD TV Sony Bravia KDL-32EX600 (Full-HD LED) that has 4 x HDMI inputs.
    I also bought a mini Displayport to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI cable.
    When I connect it to my computer, the screen goes blue for a second and it doesn't recognise any additional displays. There's also no video or sound in the TV, on the right HDMI channel. (I've tried every HDMI input and every channel)
    I've tested the TV with another laptop that has straight HDMI output from the gfx card and it works perfectly.
    I have up-to-date MacOS and I also upgraded my TV's firmware to the latest.
    I thought that maybe the miniDisplayport to HDMI connector is broken but why does the computer try to do something when I turn on the correct channel on the TV?
    I'm out of ideas..

    Hi madhenry,
    I know it's a month on from your post, but I thought I'd add that I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm trying to connect my new MacBook Pro (15" core i7) to my Sony Bravia KDL-40EX600 using a mini displayport to HDMI adapter. When I plug the cable in, the MBP screen goes blue for one second then goes back to normal, but the system just doesn't detect the external display.
    I've tried the MBP on other monitors and it works fine, so there is nothing wrong with the adapter or cable.
    I've also tried plugging two other Macs into the TV (a 2008 15" MacBook Pro and a 2008 MacBook) and the TV works great with both of them.
    So, it seems there's something specific to the new MacBook Pros that makes them incompatible with the Sony EX600 TVs.
    I just talked to AppleCare about it and after trying a few things (resetting the PRAM, etc.) I was simply told that there's nothing wrong at all with the Mac and that this is simply a "compatibility" issue that I have to put up with. So, it looks like we're out of luck until (hopefully) a new Mac OS update fixes the issue.

  • Macbook Pro connection to Sony Bravia LCD Color TV
