Hi, Wow no. It's only the plug that looks a little bit alike. Brian

I've seen it with my Bose SoundLink blu-tooth speaker when I use it with a PC. Also strangely it now does it with the IPhone too. I don't understand what's going on over there with you all because and someone can correct me if thiss ain't so, but HDMI is kinda like USB ain't it? -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of John Gurd Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 3:44 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Subject: RE: Apple TV 4th Gen Hi Mary Ah well, you've got me there. I should have been more specific. I didn't use the remote to enter any passwords, etc. Most of the set up was done using that handy Bluetooth transfer thing you can do with your iPhone and my wife put in the remaining password. I was only referring to navigation with the remote. I have my Apple TV connected to an Arcam AVR750 reciever via an HDMI so you could be right and it is affecting Voice Over for some reason. I haven't tried disconnecting the TV from the receiver, but interestingly, anytime I turn on the Apple TV my Sony Bravia TV automatically comes on as well. I'll try turning off the Sony to see if it turns off the Apple TV.

I think you are the first one who hasn't encountered a significant learning curve, especially when it comes to actually having to type something in, such as a mixed case alphanumeric password. I'm holding out for bluetooth keyboard access, which is supposedly coming with the next major release of tv os, if I can believe what I read in the mainstream Apple-oriented press. That deal where voice over cuts out has happened to me with a 2nd generation apple tv. It happened a lot and only quit happening when we experimented and connected the apple tv directly to the hdmi in on our tv, rather than going through an a/v surround receiver or even a sound bar. When connected directly to the tv, the voiceover cut out problem completely disappeared. Unfortunately, that also meant the rest of the sound from the apple tv went to the tv speakers, which are God awful. Just food for thought. And I have heard others report varying results with the voiceover cut out problem. Some have it. Others don't. And I haven't a clue why. I do have a question. Can you connect the apple tv 4th generation and use all of its features without actually having a tv in the mix? As an example, with my 2nd generation product, it was not possible to watch netflix unless the tv was actually turned on. Netflix would not play. There may have been others too, but Netflix is the one I specifically remember. So even though I didn't need the picture, the tv had to be physically on, not just the surround receiver and speakers.
