Connecting an Apple TV to BeoCenter 6-26

24 replies

I’m trying to connect an ATV 3rd gen. to a BeoCenter 6-26 without HDMI. I’m using a HDMI to DVI cable for the picture and a digital to analog audio converter for the sound.

The problem is that I have picture but no sound.

As you are aware DVI only carries video only, not sound.

You may wish to use an audio extractor like this one to take the sound from the hdmi output:

I know that DVI doesn’t carry sound, hence the digital to analog audio converter. I use a toslink cable from the ATV to the converter and phono cables from the converter to the television. The phono cables are plugged into AV3 but I cannot see it in Connections on the tv. I have changed the Audio Mode from auto to 16 bit and changed the Dolby Digital Out setting from on to off, but still no sound.☹️

Hello riis,

I had exactly the same setup as you (with ATV3) but was using V-AUX (under LIST) so I was able to use PUC to control the ATV. I had AV3 connected to the L&R phono cables from the toslink/analog converter as you have. In the set-up menu I even have selected 'none' under audio input and it worked fine.

Maybe this helps?

Regards,

Johan

How did you connect to v-aux? The only way I can access the ATV is by pressing DVD. When I do that I get picture but no sound.

In the menu of the BC, at connections I choose AV3, there I choose STB(V.AUX). On the Beo4 you have to add V.AUX under the LIST to be able to start.

Hmm, I haven’t got a set top box, so this is not an option for me.

What are your settings for AV2 and AV3?

Sorry. Didn’t see your kast post.

Does “geen” mean none? My dutch is a bit rusty😀
