Connecting Apple Tv to an older receiver with RCA aux/ins

2014-05-02 Thread Bradford Trainham
The subject line says it all. I want to stream audio via my Mac through an Apple Tv and from thence into a receiver with RCA/aux inputs. Does a cable exist or does one need a converter box? Thanks, Brad Trainham

Yes, its available in Australia though I don't think the service on the Apple TV is quite the same as that available on your Computer, iPhone etc, with those editions you can create your own stations whereas with the version available through the Apple TV you can only listen to predi

Yep I agree with this actually, even though I'm a great fan of Apple TV the thread here is a very disconnected one it seems, this is the fault of no one at all rather its a lack of knowledge of the setup that the original poster to the list had and again that's no one's fault.

Gary, The Apple TV must be plugged into an HDMI input. If your cable box lets you switch between inputs as a few do, this should work. Still, you have to be more specific if our answers are going to mean anything. How is your cable box connected to your TV? Does your cable box have an
