Lynne, Thanks much for the reply. Perhaps you or someone can clarify a bit? I'm unfamiliar with the term: "Tosslink digital audio", and the specs listed in the wikipedia definition didn't shed any light on it for me.
My stereo's input jack has the standard two small female plugs. Will Apple tv's "Tosslink digital audio" output fit? If not is there an adapter? For example I can take a device like a computer sound board using a stereo cable consisting of one male 3.5 MM plug at one end and two smaller male plugs on the other. Thanks again and best regards.

No It has a Tosslink digital audio output and a HDMI connector. I hope that helps.

I don't recall whether that was true? I am considering the Apple tv for its intended purpose, but was also thinking of connecting it to a stereo via an audio cable and setting it up as a speaker to use with the airfoil software product. My stereo does not have an HDMI input, so my question is whether the Apple tv has the three prong audio/video output jacks I would need, or alternatively is there an adapter or cable that would accomplish my objective? TIA and best regards.
