Hey all
Okay, I'm about to bite the bullet and snag myself an Apple TV, but I have a couple of wicked-fast questions that I think I know the answers to — but I'd like confirmation.
1. If I get an Apple TV, I want to run it through my main receiver, so my plan would be to connect the ATV HDMI to my receiver like all my other components (my Onkyo has a single HDMI out, BTW). This will treat the ATV like all my other components as far as sound through my mains, etc.
Am I correct to assume this will work? Apple's docs seem to want you to connect directly to your TV...
2. I have heard that upon upgrading to the v3 software that was just released, some people are having issues with the ATV recognizing when the receiver has switched to it, making an ATV restart necessary. Anyone having that problem? I feel it may be because these people are using legacy receivers...?
THANKS!
Maury

It will work fine. My ATV is connected to my Harman-Kardon receiver using the HDMI port.
I've not had any of the problems that you describe either before or after the v3.0 upgrade. My HK is fairly new though.
Cheers,
Steve

1) My Denon recognizes my ATV just fine. When switching among my 3 HDMI inputs, the TV screen will black out, come back, black out, and come back, but it always works. I assume it is doing the HDCP handshake or something.
2) I haven't had any issues with 3.0 requiring a reboot, and have watched a few movies/TV shows.

Too many Apple/Mac products to even bother listing!
