Hello All,

I need a bit of help here! I am thinking of buying the new Apple TV to connect to my BV7-40 but all the HDMI sockets have been allocated to STB and DVD 

I am now asking if it is possible to get a VGA to HDMI converter for this set up and use SPDIF for sound? as anyone tried this? I dont want to go through the hassle of HDMI expander and incuring extra costs!

thanks,

John..

VGA to HDMI prabably wont work, because the new Apple TV only has Digital out (HDMI + Toslink)

I use an HDMI to DVI cable on my Beovision 7-32 (It needs to support HDCP-Encryption) and the picture ist great.

In addition you will need a Optical to Coaxial Converter (will cost you approx 10 EUR) to get the sound into your BV7-40.

Depending on the age of your TV, you will need a software update too.

Hi

Have you thought about using the component inputs. This does hi def and sound, I use it for PS3. Unfortunately you cannot then see this anywhere linked throughout the house.

New Apple Tv lacks the component output. Just has HDMI. One reason I went for the old version.

Yes, that is the issue im facing! i might have to go for the old ATV..

Thanks all for your reply

Happily using HDMI from my 2nd generation ATV to my BV8 ... my issue is not enough HDMIs !

Germans beware!

B&O Service technicians just left the house - after trying to update my BV 7-32 Mark 2.

It is  not possible to update the german Version!
