As I understand you need analog sound for your outside Speakers (=link room speakers).

See this for example: /forum/dutch/geluidmenu-in-avant#post-1720531

You'll need a DAC for the optical out of the ATV to a R/L analog input on the BSys3.

Only 'analog sound' can be distributed to the linkroom.

I use this small box for many years without any problems for sound distribution in my masterlink system:

BTW: With the new Apple TV 4 this is not possible anymore because ATV 4 doesn't have an audio output anymore. Very sad indeed.

Then we will have to use a 'HDMI audio-debedder' instead.

there is always a solution ;-)

Hello MM,

I think this one would do the job:

http://www.amazon.de/Ligawo-®-HDMI-Decoder-Audiosignal/dp/B00ADJIVB8/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1442413289&sr=8-21&keywords=hdmi+analog+wandler

But I also think you will need the new remote, even if there will be a PUC update available.
