There are a number of ways to do it. Running HDMI to the TV sets up the
TV to do the decoding but running an RCA pair from the TV to the
receiver means you're only getting stereo. Now if you only have two
speakers then that's fine but if you have the center, subwoofer and rear
channel stuff you probably want to get the full 6-channel digital signal
to your receiver somehow. Some newer receivers have HDMI inputs as well
but my old Dennon just has the optical and coaxial (RCA) digital inputs.

For one thing, you don't run the Apple TV directly into the receiver.
I mean, I suppose you could if you had h d m i, but me personally, I
ran my Apple TV via HDMI into my television, then I run my television
out via RCA to the red white RCA in on my 5.1 surround receiver.
Thank you kindly,

Subject: Apple TV to stereo receiver
Hi listers,
I am interested in purchasing a Apple TB to use with my stereo
receiver. I'm not sure how to do this as I understand the Apple TV has
a HDMI output and my receiver has something called a DVD optical in
put, that is square. A single port called a digital input that is
round. and analogue input with RCA jacks.
Can anyone let me know if they are using a Apple TV with a stereo
receiver, and let me know if any of my input options could work?
