I'd like to purchase this receiver for my projector with HDMI and optical out. How do I hook up my apple tv to all of this?

I have a roku and I hooked it up to one of the HDMI's i believe it's simular to your apple. Hook your hdmi from your projecter to one of the other hdmi's.

You would hook it up as a component, the same way you would hook up a dvd player...

excellent receiver for the money! Hook it up per the instructions given by the manufacturer!

The Optical out from the TV needs to connect into a splitter with an optical in . From that point on just connect each line out from the splitter into each box.Let me know what it sounds like? You will need 3 optical connections plus an optical splitter (1 in and 2 out)

Yes, u need a HDMI or VGA adapter to your Mac and from it you can connect it perfectly to the projector like an external monitor.

In order for my setup to work correctly I have to use both the HDMI and the optical out on my Apple TV. My receiver is a 2001 Integra DTR6.2 which was made before HDMI existed so I run my HDMI into this switch and out to the TV. I then run the optical output from each device into this optical switch - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C15798/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This works for me. I'm not sure if I answered your question. However one thing that I can tell you is tht this switch will not separate the audio from the video, which is why I needed the seperate optical switch.

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=2914&zmam=49733141&zmac=5&zmas=1&zmap=2914&gclid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg. Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

No, you can't. I tried it from the apple TV to the HDTV, and noting was coming out. I also tried it with other combinations. Nothing. I Don't recommend this product. It was too late when I found out and I could no longer do a return. I ended up throwing it.

Pioneer VSX-9040TXH 7-Channel Direct Energy Amplification Home Theater Receiver (Black) Can I connect my macbook to this receiver directly to get both the picture and sound from it?

You've come across the same issues that I have in trying to set up my Apple TV. Basically the problem is that the instructions work fine -- as long as you are willing to let Apple TV be your "one and only" device. Most folks want to do what you and I do, though, use several devices via HDMI. I believe the only way to do that is with an HDMI splitter -- and not a switch. Use that and you're stuck with having to take still another step to do what should be seamless. I love Apple products -- in the abstract -- but their mindset is that they don't care to play nice with other technologies.

You would need an Apple TV and Airplay or similar device connected to the TV to connect a Mac to your TV ( I have a Mac mini and Apple TV connected this way). This device does not output an HDMI signal.

You'd need to have a cable box to convert the cable into a usable signal. The cable box will probably have an HDMI jack that would be the best way to connect to the projector.

you could get a $10 ish converter box to take the optical to rca digital, I've had to do that for my audio receiver as it came with more rca digital, than optical, and HDMI was yet to include audio pass through at the time.

Not sure about the HDMI but the VGA adapter used with the apple lightning adapter does not support any video. I just tried it out on this projector.

My receiver does not have HDMI and no HD audio. What I do is connect HDMI from the A-400 to my Tv directly and audio to the receiver through optical cable. 7.1 audio is amazing. Like I said, check the A-400 forum for HD audio. It is a huge resource of practical information.I use the A-400 with a 80" 3D TV and I still can't believe how great it looks.The only reason I don't buy one more is because the iPad browser works so well that I can browse my movies, ratings etc from anywhere, pick what I want to see and then manually select that movie on any of my old media players.

We just ran an HDMI cable. Provides both video and audio to the projector (the internal speaker is adequate for small to medium sized rooms). If you're using a Mac, I believe you can purchase an adapter that will let it plug into the HDMI cable. VGA is always an option and will adapt to the Mac as well, but you will need external speakers for audio amplification.

That is the one you will also need this...Apple Lightning to VGA Adapter This is also sold on Amazon. You will need to follow the updates on the Pioneer web site to use all of the equipment and get the app radio to work properly.Sold by DataVision Computer Video

My experience with Apple products is that they tend to have proprietary devices that work only with their hardware/software. However, if you look at the output of your Apple TV (depending on which model you have) search Google/Bing...for "apple tv connections". One of the units has an HDMI output that would connect to the HDMI input on this HD device. Then connect the component video (Red,Blue,Green) output on this HD device to the component video (R,B,G) input on your tv connection. Here's the product web site: http://www.u9ltd.com/ Hope that helps!
