Hi Mary,
HDMI has several versions, depending on how old your receiver is it
will not carry the audio signals. I just purchased a new dennon that is HDMI V
1.42 or 3a and it not only will support dolby trueHD, blue ray 3D, and audio
that can be used to back feed over the air signals fro
if you are having a hard time getting optical out to work you probably need to
select that input on your reciever. often the optical connection defaults to
work with only a specific input, but can be reassigned for use with any input
you desire. this is something that you will of course need si
Hi,
I connected a set of RCA cables from my TV to my home theater system as
I couldn't get the optical out working. Only disadvantage to this is
the TV must be on.

Some receivers though don't decode that correctly so you need the optical link
or the coax SPDIF deal.
On my Denon receiver you can grab the surround audio right off the HDMI as well
as use the receiver as a switcher to redirect both audio and video
Michael,
You asked what surround receiver we have. It is an NAD. I can't recall the
model number just now. But my husband read in the manual some very specific
language about how you have to connect an optical digital cable along with the
hdmi cable if you want the digital audio through the rece
what reciever do you have? i have never found a home theater reciever that did
not take the audio from the hdmi connection, it is however sometimes a menu
setting that can make the reciever ignore the hdmi audio in favor of another
source. it has to take the hdmi audio in order to work with mult
I think this might be specific to your model of receiver. HDMI definitely
carries audio and video.

It is possible to connect the HDMI to the television and have the optical audio
go to the receiver. I don't know if that would effect the quality of the
signal though...
I actually resolved my sound issue last night. I believe that the

Regarding having the hdmi and optical cables connected at the same time, the
manual for our surround receiver specifically says that the hdmi cable only
carries video not audio, so if you want audio through the surround receiver,
you have to connect the digital optical cable. Cery annoying, espe

I was curious if you can have hdmi connected to the TV and the optical audio

if there could be any issues with this configuration.

Hi Justin,
I have not noticed any difference in the quality of the audio from Mac to apple
tv, as opposed to Mac to airport express. Admittedly, the speakers that are
attached to the receiver that has the a tv connection are not the most
wonderful speakers in the world, but they're decent. So I
I'm running my Apple TV through the optical audio out, and the speech
is definitely choppy for me as well. That is a real bummer, as the
audio from the tv is definitely a no go.
On a related note, has anyone using the new Apple TV noticed any
loss in audio quality when streaming from the Mac?
Thanks, Soren, for your comment on the choppy speech issue being a result of
using an optical cable into a surround receiver. That's really disheartening,
since connecting just an hdmi cable gives no sound at all. I think I'll call
Apple and see if I can speak with somebody, because this problem
Hi.
I think this happens when you connect the optical cable to your surround
receiver. I don't have an Apple tv, but I have experienced this with other
devices which have an opticle output.

Mary,
I don't have my cable yet for the tv I really want to hook the apple tv to, but
it is hooked up to another tv and I have no problem with choppy speech either
via the apple remote or the iPhone app.
I'm not experienced enough yet to know if I can play a dvd from my mac to the
tv.
Actuall
maybe you can get the remote early...

I have the optical cable going into a surround receiver. It is a medium length
cable, 6 feet. I could use a shorter one, but that was what they had in stock.

Hi.
Do you connect the HDMI cable directly to your tv or does the sound come
through a receiver? I have a surround receiver which cut off the sound while
using digital sound inputs and outputs. I don't know why. If you only connect

Chris,
I did find apple tv listed in Itunes in the remote speakers section, and
airfoil also sees it just as it sees airport expresses, so it would appear that
you can at least send audio to the device, or I should say through the device,
from a Mac. I wonder if the video is picked up by airfoil
Mary,
The Apple TV is one way sharing, i.e. the Apple TV can see your iTunes and
iPhoto library and stream them, but the Mac does not stream anything from the
Apple TV box. The Apple TV box has 8gb of storage, but this storage is only
used for applications and buffering video content from iTun
