Hi Ed, I can help you some. First off make sure you have a HDMI cable already because it doesn't come with one, and this is the only way to hook it to your tv or reciever. As far as starting VO from start up I am not sure I used my wife to turn it on for me, but i recall someone saying to tripple click the play/pause button which is the button all the way on the bottom right on your remote. If that doesn;t work and you don't have sighted assistance I can walk you threw it on the phone or something. using airplay is very simple to do, I haven't used it on the Ipad but I have on my Iphone and I think its the same. First you need to get your apple TV all set up and running on the same network as your Ipad etc. once that is all set up there are 2 ways to turn on airplay . Frist is to double click your home button on the Ipad to bring up app switcher and do a 3 finger swipe to the right to get to the first page of the ap switcher then scroll down the page untill it says airplay and select it. It then will bring up a list of airplay devices on your network, since you only have the apple tv that will be the only option besides the ipad itself . scroll to the apple tv and select it and your connected to your apple tv, once you select the apple tv you will then be given the option to turn on airplay mirroring , you dont have to do this to play music and other content on your apple tv. you only want to do this if you want to view your whole Ipad display on your tv . So once you turn airplay on on your Ipad whenever you play any music or media on your Ipad it will play threw your apple tv and not threw your Ipad untill you switch it back to Ipad . The second way to do airplay which is a little better if your doing something and want to quickly play something on your apple tv. all you have to do is start playing the music or movies etc on your Ipad and where the controls are for play/pause, forward and rewind are there will be a airplay button, just select it and it will bring up the devices list and select your apple tv and it will start playing threw your tv. This works on some 3rd party apps like pandora and utube as well. I also forgot to mention that there is nothing to be done to the apple tv to do airplay it just has to be turned on as well as the acctual tv and running the apple tv , thats it. So play around with it when you get it and let me know if you need any help . Jason On Mar 26, 2012, at 9:45 AM, Ed Worrell wrote:
