Browse Forums Home Theatre & Automation 1 Nov 23, 2010 1:31 pm As i understand the new generation Apple TV only has a HDMI connection, while this is fine for my tv's, my amp for my speakers that are in my outside entertainment area where I'd like to stream music, only have the RCA plugs. Is there a way to connect an Apple TV to this amp using some sort of adapter? Or is it impossible to go from digital to analog without some sort of decoder? Anyone done this? Or is there a solution?
