[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1317591, member: 24160"] [B]Jon45189:[/B] Pg 22 of the Owner's Manual: Just one of the things that makes Vizio cheaper than most of it's competitors. To get audio to that TV you need an adapter that will combine the audio and video into the HDMI out such as: [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=5969&seq=1&format=2"]this one[/URL] - which only does 2 channel audio and 2 channel is all you need for connecting to your TV or [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=6331&seq=1&format=2"]this one[/URL] which does 5.1 audio - good choice if you're planning for the near future and planning on getting a 5.1 surround system and use it as the switch for your HD sources You will also need a "high speed" HDMI cable - get it from monoprice or pick up one of the Amazon Basics cables. You should not pay more than $10 for a HDMI cable at 3-6'. Take the one you bought from Apple back to them and tell them their sales staff needs to be trained related to Mac models that do and do not support audio out via the mini displayport instead of just saying "Yes, it will work' in order to make a sale.
