Trouble connecting Apple TV to Sony TV (KV-24FV10)
I am having some problems connecting my new Apple TV to my Sony TV (model: KV-24FV10). I used cables that previously was connected to my DVD but when I use them on the ATV the picture is black and white.
I plugged the cables in so RED=RED, WHITE=BLUE and YELLOW=GREEN as described in another post on this forum.
Any ideas? This is what I have available on the back of the TV. This is from the manual
Darn it..... I thought my 8 year old tv would be able to handle the ATV.... Ok, i will see if I can find a good deal on a 24-26" LCD
pwonk:
1. I haven't gotten as far as to play anything. Even the animated startup screen is in black&white
2. I set the output to 480i which was the only resolution that showed up nicely.
3. Yeah my DVD is working fine so i can;t see that being the issue. Also when I get into the TV menu it is showing colors for the menu text.
Thanks for both of your feedback.

How to connect Apple TV to Sony a/v receiver
I have my Apple TV connected to my home a/v Sony receiver thru the DVD input. I am using an Hdmi cable. When I try to play music from my iPad using airplay to my Apple TV, the sound cuts in and out. Should I be using an optical digital audio cable also?
No, HDMI should be OK.
You'd only need optical if say the HDMI connection went direct to the TV (say your Sony had no HDMI).
If playing music via Airplay the commonest cause for audio dropouts os poor wifi - either poor signal for iPad or AppleTV, or interference from other equipment (micorwaves, cordless landline phones) - I used to use an older Airplay equivalent to an Airport Express and it there would be frequent bits of silence - this was often triggered by somone using teh microwave in teh house causing wifi interference.
Also consider whether someone else in the house could be using a lot of LAN access/internet access eg downloading, and thus limiting bandwidth available to AppleTV and iPad.

Hi,
I got the Apple TV for a Christmas gift and I cannot connect it. I can get video, but no audio. The HD TV I have is an older model, it was purchased in 2006/2007. I had to connect using an HDMI to DVI cable, however, there isn't a digital audio port. My DVR box has an HDMI and Digital audio port that fits into the apple TV. IS there a way to connect through the box? Can I just use an HDMI switch that connects directly into the TV and get sound?
ThanksThanks for your response. I don't have an HDMI port on my TV, I only have a DVI port. Does this mean that I cannot use and hear my Apple TV with this TV?
You need to use the optical audio output to connect the audio separately, either to your TV if it has an optical audio input, or to an A/V receiver or other audio device that has an optical input. -
Having trouble connecting apple tv to ibahn hotel network
Im staying in a condo that has Internet access via ibahn, like in a hotel. The apple tv finds the network find, but there is a pop up login, so it won't actually connect. Is there anyway around this?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Without a web browser there is no way to log in to such networks, I'm not aware of any workarounds. -

Having trouble connecting apple tv with ethernet
I previously had my apple tv connected to a wireless bridge to connect to the internet. no for some reason it no longer wants to connect through the wireless bridge. It will work wirelessly though for some reason. It has an ip address, subnet mask number and ethernet number. there is no router address or dns number. I have tried to configure it manually but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
P.S.
Wondering if I need a different cable. I only have the HDMI running from Apple TV to the HDMI slot on the receiver. Do I need the red/yellow/white cable as well and if so, how would I connect that to Apple TV? Thx! -
Trouble connecting Apple TV in China
I just moved to China from Bulgaria. My Apple TV worked fine in Sofia, but I can't get it to load in Chengdu. The screen just gets stuck on "setting date and time". I press "menu" to get into settings but nothing happens. I should have enough internet power to run it. Any suggestions?

Connecting Apple TV to an Acer H5380BD DLP Projector?
Having trouble connect Apple TV to an Acer H5380BD DLP Projector. It is currently connected with an HDMI cable to projector. I played a purchased movie once with the same HDMI cable/connection and it worked fine. The next day I tried to watch the same movie and it displayed I can't because HDMI cable issue. The same apple tv and hdmi cable work fine on our flatscreen tv but not on the projector. Any suggestion? Getting no answers from apple.
You may have better luck going through support for the projector as that is where the issue seems to lie.

Connecting Apple TV to iTunes Tip
After following every bit of info on this forum as well as Apple's solution I still had no luck.
Finally, I tried unchecking Proxy box in the network settings and it worked!
I guess for those of you still having trouble connecting Apple Tv to iTunes, just uncheck the Proxy box under network settings.I guess you will have to try Apple's solution: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305003

Hi, I just got an Apple Thunderbolt Display. How can I connect it to my sony vaio pc? At Apple Store they gave me a Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter, but monitor doesnt display any image. Thanks for your help!
no, your computer needs to have thunderbolt technology. does it?
if not, no adapter can make a thunderbolt display work on a non-thunderbolt computer.
someone was likely confused since miniDP will FIT into a TB socket but is only compatible one way, ie a mDP display can work on a TB machine, but a TB display cannot work on a mDP machine -
