[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1559836, member: 24160"] Easiest way is going to be checking the TV audio output and hope it has a stereo RCA output and use that. Unfortunately, with 5.1 audio being the new standard, most TVs only have optical audio output today, same as the Apple TV. In the latter case, you will need a digital to analog audio converter to get the sound to your speakers. Here's just a quick search at Amazon UK - [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_8/277-8347057-7187561?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=optical+to+analog+converter&sprefix=optical+%2Caps%2C257&tag="]link[/URL]. I'd connect it between the Apple TV and the Rotel. Along with the converter, you'll need an optical (toslink) cable from ATV to converter and a standard old stereo RCA cable (which you probably have plenty of already) from converter to the Rotel.
