[QUOTE="stevenb, post: 1144631, member: 65513"] Alright, how does this sound. I found a manual for my TV online and was surprised. I found (Amazon) a digital (Dolby 5.1) audio to RCA (left/right) components adapter that I can use from the ATV2. The main questions is, will the ATV2 work with an HDMI to DVI input (Apple tech said no, but some people say yes) in the back of my TV (Sony 36XBR800). In the original Sony TV literature, it states it supports HDCP. Has anything changed in HDCP since 2001-2002 to today? The literature also says the DVI input converts 720p to 1080i. Is that going to be a problem? I have attached a few more screenshots to look at. I think this is the fix, HDMI to DVI cable (~$20.00) and digital (Dolby 5.1) audio to RCA component cable adapter (~$100). Is the price to steep for the adaptors? Has anyone had any luck, good or bad with either of these adapters? This TV is huge, but the super-fine pitch (HI-Scan) look very good. I just want some advise before going this route and wasting money. Thanks in advance for any help. [/QUOTE]
