ATV2 only displays Apple Logo

Same here

Using Panasonic PT AE500E with DVI-HDMI adapter

every device works perfect, sat, blueray player

only apple tv wont work

I see the apple..and then it stops

so i looked on a normal tv

checked, what happens if i start device without plugged in hdmi

it boots..and when cable is in..few seconds later picture..

so back to the beamer

started apple tv without hdmi cable

waited ~2minutes

plugged in cable, nd got picture..

so in basic it works

but apple tv hangs on boot

also i need ~10 tries to get nrmal pictures when apple tv is full booted without hdmi cable plugged in

seems to be, that just has some boot issues and some kind of timing issue on the conenction

tried different cables

any other hdmi/dvi connected device works...

apple please fix this

dvi and hdmi communication has a written standard, just saying on hotline..this is no supported conenction is ignorant, as always...

rest of world devices work...

Hi AK19_!

Did the new cord really solve the issue? What kind of cord do you use?

Bought another cord. Same problem.

ATV2 shows Apple logo and that's it. Working on a monitor but not with the beamer.

That's really nasty.

Even if I change the Video output setting of the ATV2 and connect the ATV2 to the beamer same problem.

I had to say but "APPLE SOLVE THE PROBLEM"

I think I can define the problem. The AppleTV2 gives refering to the beamer a 750p signal to the beamer although I changed the resolution of the ATV2 BUT maybe this is more a Panasonice problem because with the same cord I connect to a monitor and it shows the choosen resolution!

It is not a problem of the cord

I took my old one, and with enough plugin/outs i also got a synchronized signal

i read an article, that when you send hdmi signal connected to dvi, there must be switched something in transfer of signals, like a protocal or so

seems that the atv is not really able to do this correctly

my old panasonic beamer with its dvi+hdcp interface works like a charm with different BD players, old/newer sat receivers

there was only one device he didnt liked, that was a very old dvd recorder. but this one also made trouble at very much tv's

so i dont think it is a problem at my bemaers site...its the arrogance of apple, not supporting this issue

phone support told me..we say on package, conenct to hdmi, you connected to dvi

i said read wikipedia...hdmi is created to be compatible with dvi...

they told me..you did not, what we have written..no support...

after that i canceld the order of my macbook pro and bought a windows notebook..for half price, more features, power..and with all freedom to do, what i like...

this is the beginning of saying goodbye to apple, for their ignocrance of user problems and meanings,

Same problem, on a different TV. Replacing cords, updating, rebooting, etc... nothing works. Perfectly good apple logo on the screen though. Apple- what is the problem and why can't it be fixed?!

I had the same problem, just hold down the menu and play/pause buttons together untill the atv 2 restarts, that fixed my problem.
