Sony Bravia 2006 will not recognize AppleTV

I cannot seem to successfully connect my Apple TV to my Sony Bravia KDL40S2000. I've followed all the suggestions I can find online:
I have connected the AppleTV to the Sony Bravia with multiple HDMI cables.
The HDMI port is active, and works with other devices (there is only one)
The Apple TV is connected directly to the TV.
The Apple TV works fine on other TV's
I know which video channel to look for.
There is no sound or video.
The resolution on the Apple TV is set to auto. I have tried them all.
I have contacted Sony, they simple gave me the user manual, very unhelpful.
When connected there is simply no signal.  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thank!

Since it is working on other TV's the issue would reside with the Sony display. Best to persist with them.

  • Sony Bravia TV does not recognize Apple TV

    I have plugged everything in, power and hdmi etc but in the HDMI input settings the Sony TV does not recognize the Apple TV...
    Any ideas??

    There are no video adjustements on AppleTV 2.
    It outputs a 720p signal.
    I would imagine your TV accepts that if it has HDMI.
    Try the usual troubleshooting steps:
    1 - Turn everything connected on/off at the mains and restart
    2 - Try a different HDMI lead if you have one.
    3 - Try a different HDMI input on the TV if you have one
    4 - Try a different TV set with HDMI input to try to rule out a faulty AppleTV
    If none of the steps above work, specifically 4, I would assume AppleTV is a lemon/faulty and exchange it.
    If it works ok with another set then it's probably an HDMI incompatibility issue, almost certainly at AppleTV end as you rarely hear of problems with other devices and HDMI, and there are known HDMI glitches with some sets. If it's an incompatibility I would take it back for a refund myself, but do let Apple know here:

    so they can try to fix it in a future software update for the device. Provide them the TV make/model number.

  • Sony Bravia Z5500 will not recognise HDMI output from Apple TV 2nd Gen

    After a frustrating time trying every connection possibility - various HDMI cables, all 4 slots, I still had no picture or sound. A week later (living so far from the shop) - I( angrily confronted stafff and told them I had a dud Apple TV. I had spent hours on the phone, firefox, apple and sony sites.
    They took it from me and plugged it into a samsung 3d tv and - hey presto - instant picture. I feel like an idiot - and I thought I knew all about technical issues. But this is just annoying me. They looked at this old man and just shook their heads. I am resorting to the hope that someone out there knows the answer ... ??

    got a bravia KDL-40WE5W and my appletv 1g never had any problems but if you messed with hdmi settings if thats possible and forced it to use various overscan only accept 1080p or something that could cause problems I guess

  • ITunes will not recognize AppleTV -- help please.

    Hello. I have AppleTV (the older one, the bigger silver one). I have a video in my iTunes library that I want to transfer to my AppleTV so that I can watch the video on my television. The problem is, AppleTV isn't showing up under "Devices" on the left side of the iTunes screen. This is where it always used to be when I used it before, but I haven't used it in a few months, and I now I can't get iTunes to show my AppleTV on the left side of the screen, so I have no way to transfer the video. Can anyone please help me figure out why iTunes won't show AppleTV, and how I can get it to do so? Thanks very much.

    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • 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.

  • Labview will not recognize Sony camera connected via ethernet.

    I have a Sony camera, model XCG-SX97E, and have been trying to interface it using Labview. I was told that the easiest way to do so is using the NI Vision packadge. However it became quickly appearent that Labview will not recognize the camera at all. It is connected via ethernet directly to my computer. I have tried using NI MAX and Instument I/O assitant, neither of which displayed ethernet or the device as an option. I have never tried to interface a third party device before and am at a loss at how to proceed.  If it helps to know, my computer has only one ethernet port, which is taken up by the camera when connected, and it has an Intel 82479LM Gigabit ethernet network connection.

    After talking to tech support, I have dont the following: 
    1) Uninstalled Sony drivers
               - This allowed the camera to show up in MAX
    2) Created a homemade cross over cable because I do not own one
    3) Disabled my firewall
    Now, when I try to acquire an image in MAX, I get the error 0xBFF69031: "The system did not recieve test packet from the camera."
    I have tried all the suggestions listed on http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4D0ECFAA9AD9FF3E8625792600551A1E and have had no luck. 
    I am now going to try the solutions found in this thread: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/0xBFF69001-0xBFFF800B-errors-with-GigE-JAI-CV-A10GE/td-p/1742...

    Hello:
    This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
    When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

  • IMovie 11 will not recognize panasonic hdc-sd90 camera

    I have just shot my first clip with this video camera and am trying to import it into imovie 11 but imovie will not recognize the camera even though the video camera shows up in system profiler ? any suggstions please.

    One cable, or an adapter plug for the cable? I assume the former.
    If the Sony works, you can capture using that most likely.

    You should see the camera identified here:
    If it's not seen by the OS it can't be seen by iMovie, regardless of the version you're using.

  • I movie 6 will not recognize panasonic dv 1000

    Hi
    Any idea why i movie 6 will not recognize panasonic dv 1000 deck.  It will start the deck but not record anything into bin?

    I used the recommended Audio MIDI Setup fix and now my Sony DCR-HC21 works fine with iMovie 5.0.2. Go into Audio MIDI Setup in your Utilities folder. A window opens and the third section (on the bottom of the window) is "Audio Input" The line "Format" offers a drop-down window with various frequency levels. I chose 48000.0 Hz. For good measure, I changed "Audio Output" to have the same frequency setting.
    After that, with no restart, no pulling out cables, etc., iMovie was working correctly with the Sony Handycam.
    Thanks to a post further down from Sue.

  • How do move my music from iPod to a new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account

    My school district installed new computers. The IT told us that our iTunes would not be effected.  When I went into iTunes on my new computer, there was nothing there. Obviously I can't plug in my iPod or everything would be erased.  They said that there is nothing they can do about this.
    How do I move my music from this iPod to this new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account?  It appears that it was wiped out. I have close to 400 songs that I use for daily classes. The os is now Windows 7. The old one was Vista.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have an old nano purchased in 2006. It indicated new models on the page.
    Any other suggestions?

  • MY NEW IPOD 60G WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY EXISTING MUSIC FILES

    I'M TRYING TO SET UP MY NEW IPOD AND IT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY EXISTING WMP LIBRARY OR A PORTABLE SONY VAIO LIBRARY. HOW CAN I CHANGE PROPERTIES OR EXT SO IT WILL. THANKS GB

    You will have to get the tracks into iTunes before you can load them on your iPod. iTunes will import the following formats: AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, and unprotected WMA. If your tracks are in one of these formats, iTunes should be able to bring them in (try the Add To Library command first).
    If the tracks are in protected WMA (either purchased from another download music store or imported from CD with the Windows Media Player default to copy-protect turned on) or are in Sony's proprietary format, then you will not be able to import them directly into iTunes. In those cases, the only way to get the tracks into iTunes will be to, if your download service allows, burn the tracks to an audio CD and then reimport that into iTunes.
    Hope this helps.
