Re: Connecting Apple Tv to an older receiver with RCA aux/ins
You can buy an HDMI to RCA converter. Amazon has a few of them. one can be had for around $20.00 to $30.00 or so. - Original Message - From: "Bradford Trainham" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, May 02, 2014 12:37 PM Subject: Connecting Apple Tv to an older receiver with RCA aux/ins 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?

Re: Connecting Apple Tv to an older receiver with RCA aux/ins
Hi. I bought a digital audio converter from Amazon for less than $20. I do not remember the manufacturer, but you should be able to find what you need. You connect the Apple TV to the DAC with an optical cable and the box has left and right RCA jacks. I stream content to our Bose all the time. Hope this helps.

Re: Connecting Apple Tv to an older receiver with RCA aux/ins
Brad, There are two ways I know of to get analog outputs from an Apple TV. First, I needed to use an older TV with our Apple TV and I bought a small converter for around $35 through Amazon that has an HDMI input and two Analog Out and a video out. I ended up running the analog out to a stereo instead and it sounded good. an HDMI cable was not included nor is a power supply, but I had to run mine from a USB power source for it to run reliably. There is also a switch that allows one to choose between two color display systems. Second, there is an audio optical output on the Apple TV and there are converters that will convert from Optical output to Analog output. I believe I saw those on Amazon as well.
