I have a Beovision Avant 32 DVD TV and am very happy with it. We bought an Apple TV device today though and I have now realised there is obviously no HDMI input port in the back of my TV. Can you advise me on what to do? Do you know which of the remaining ports it should go into and therefore what adaptor I need? I read on an apple forum that I may need to connect the audio separately. I appreciate this is an apple issue but I'm not sure how technically savvy they are about the Beovision technology. Many thanks

Hi there,

You'll need an HDMI to Scart converter box or HDMI to RCA box.

Please give these a try...

Earlier versions of apple TV have non HDMI outputs Normal plugs.  There are heaps of them on eBay.  You just need a RCA to Scart adapter.

If the Avant can accept a component signal, you just need a rca component to scart adapter.

It the Avant only accepts s-video or composite you'll need a software hack to get a composite color signal out of a 1st generation Apple Tv !

 

With the recent Apple TV (3rd generation) the hdmi to scart/composite adapter should be suitable.

Please do remember, that the ATV1 has no native support for AirPlay.

Since the op already has bought the ATV3, he'll need a converter solution.

I use a very inexpensive HDMI to Video converter like the one posted previously on my Avant 32 and it works surprisingly well.

So sorry Dom: am just looking to buy the right hardware for my APPLE TV to Beovision Avant TV DVD and still can't figure out what to get. You said I need the HDMI to Video converter  -what do they mean by video? Do you mean Scart/RCA...even then I'm not sure what it would look like - is it a cable with hdmi at one end, a box in the middle and another plug at the other end? This is a massive ask but could you possible take a photograph of what you have and/or add the model number so i can find it online? I'm so sorry to be such a pain, I am just no clearer on what to buy even after everyone has been so helpful!
