hello, I have had my BV 5 for 14 years or so and had previously connected an Apple TV via scaler and hdmi component switch. Trying a repeat about 8 years later and I was wondering if anyone has experience with this. I assume the BV 5 can receive 1080i 50 ... thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply. It works using 1080i 60 on the scaler, I have been able to hookup Apple TV 4 with a converter. All works!
Hallo Herr Kallas,
wie funktioniert die Verbindung eines Beovision 5, MK 5 ( HD, 720) zu einem Receiver MR 400 von Entertain TV (Telekom )?
Ich bekomme ein Bild,aber keinen Ton. Hatte davor den MediaReceiver 303 angeschlossen, funktionierte wunderbar mit HD-Adapter und getrennter Tonübertragung mittels Cinch-Kabel. Nun kommt aber kein Ton mehr.... Haben Sie eine Idee?
Herzliche Grüße aus Berlin,

do you know if it is possible to connect an Apple TV 4 Generation HDMI 1.4 through a conversion box HDMI 1.4 Input to Component Video and Coaxial Audio Output to a Beovision 5 type 8488. Do you know any brand of conversion box to recommend.
Interesting question. I have the same doubt.Do you know if it is possible to connect an Apple TV 1080p 4 Generation (HDMI 1.4) through a conversion box I think it also would be HDMI 1.4 Input (Entrada) to Component Video and Coaxial Audio Output (Salida) to a Beovision 5 type 8488 with Video Component (Above Input) and Audio Coaxial (Below Input by V.Aux). I THINK it would be OK.
Someone knows if it is possible, and knows a brand about de conversion box and where you can get it.?
Thanks.
Hello, I got my Apple TV connected to a hdmi view HD audio splitter w optical going to the BV5, from there hdmi to a HDMI View HD splitter VHD 1x2MN3D to a scaler MDHX to viewHD hdmi to component to Tv.
Apple TV is set to 1080p
Very interesting your information could you send me a photo, everything would be useful to me, I appreciate your response. Many say that it is not possible to do so. Your information perhaps can help to do this. THANKS!!
I send you an answer: "I am very sorry but I am not aware of any way reliably use streaming devices such as Amazon Firestick, Sky Q, Chromecast, Apple TV, etc. with older TVs that don't have HDMI sockets fitted. Adapters or converters don't usually work well, as the protection software in the streaming device can turn off the signal unless a TV with an HDMI socket is detected.I am sorry but we no longer support any video cables for TVs without HDMI sockets due to their age and obsolescence."
I tried to post a picture but not sure if it does come through.
Without pictures see below written connections
Apple TV latest release
HDMI out to ViewHD Audio Extractor HDCP 2
from there I have a optical out to the TV
HDMI from the ViewHD to HDMI spitter ViewHD 1x2MN3D
from there HDMI to scaler Decimator MD HX converting 1080p59/1080i60
from the Decimator HDMI to ViewHD Switch Converter VHD H2YVs to component to TV
I know it’s a lot but it works well. It took me a while to figure this out.
I have the doubt because Apple TV 1080p 4 Generation is HDMI 1.4 and this converter box you told me is HDMI 1.3 (A friend of mine watch it in eBay)
I'd really appreciate your information, photo, and help.
