Does Apple TV 2 support 5.1 surround sound?
Hi,
I am planning to get an Apple TV 2 for my home entertainment system, but have a few questions that I would like to confirm:
- Does Apple TV support true 5.1 surround sound why using it for streaming music and video contents (assume that the Audio & Video file used are encoded with 5.1). I have seen some contradictory information online regarding this, some say it does not output ture 5.1 surround sound.
- Will this setting ok to give me the maximum quality of sound and picture: Connect Apple TV 2 to audio receiver using HDMI cable, then connect the receiver to a TV using another HDMI cable (just like the setting that I use for my playstation 3).
Thank you for your help,
