Hi, I would like to hear from any one who has an Apple TV working with a BeoSystem 2. Mine is the older variety without a PC input option. I wondered if anyone else has got this arrangement to work? If you have, what configuration in terms of cables/connectors did you use and what did you need to tell the BeoSystem 2? Thanks for your advice and suggestions.

BTW. On my panel I have got a component input and I can convert the digital audio to plug into the BeoSystem 2.

You just have to use

- a component cable from the Apple TV to your Beosystem 2 and

- an optical audio cable from the Apple TV to your Beosystem 2.

That's it :-) 

Hi TWG, thanks for your response. I'm puzzled as to how I do this as the BeoSystem 2 does not offer a component input and the digital audio input is coaxial. I have been able to convert the optical signal to a coaxial one but I'm not sure how I deal with the component input?

What kind of video-inputs does the Beosystem 2 has? I don't know the system so I have to ask.

 You don't need to convert the optical audio signal to a coaxial one, you can simply use the analog RCA plugs, too. Music quality of the Apple TV is low (MP3 and AAC...); digital audio is only required for movies if you want Dolby etc.

If you only have scart inputs or composite you can "hack" your Apple TV like I explained here:

Then the only thing you have to add is a RCA-->Scart-Adapterplug.

Thanks TWG, I'd had a hunt round the forums and missed the thread you directed me too. Sounds like that's the solution I want.

you're welcome :-)
