Change the way you look at TV
Your computer is the centre of your digital life. Your TV is the centre of your entertainment life. But what if you want to watch music videos, movie trailers, video podcasts or photos on your TV? Apple TV gives you more to watch on the big screen.
The revolution will be televised
Instead of huddling around your computer to watch what's on iTunes, connect Apple TV to your widescreen television and wirelessly sync your iTunes library. Then pull up a seat, put up your feet, and pick up the included Apple Remote to play iTunes on your TV. Give yourself a hand: you've just changed the way you watch digital media.
iTunes to Apple TV, wire-free
Apple TV connects to your TV via an HDMI port or component video and audio ports. Its built-in, superfast 802.11 wireless capability syncs your iTunes library to any Mac or PC in the house. Best of all, what's on Apple TV stays in sync: whenever you change your library in iTunes, it changes on Apple TV - wirelessly, automatically.
What's on TV? Whatever you want
Apple TV puts your iTunes library - including music, music videos and podcasts - plus movie trailers from Apple.com on your TV. And your digital photos from iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Album on a Windows PC appear in high definition, so you can put on a stunning big-screen slideshow.
Musically inclined:
If the best sound system in your house is connected to your TV, why play your iTunes library anywhere else? Apple TV lets you browse and play up to 8,750 songs and watch music videos, all on the big screen (and the big speakers).
Radio on the TV:
Thanks to Apple TV, you can enjoy podcasts on your TV for the first time ever. Listen to your favourite audio podcasts through your entertainment system speakers and watch video podcasts from the comfort of your sofa.
Get the big picture
Apple TV brings photo slideshows out of the study and into the living room. Pull up the best seat in the house and view your photos in jaw-dropping high definition. With up to 25,000 photos at your fingertips, you'll never cease to amaze.
All set
From the Settings menu, you can set up your screen saver, your network, or your TV resolution, and get more information about your Apple TV.
It Just Fits
Easy connectivity and built-in wireless make Apple TV right at home in your home entertainment system.
Plug-and-play time
Got a widescreen TV? Got iTunes? Then you're ready for Apple TV. Connect Apple TV to your TV, then open iTunes on your computer. iTunes wirelessly detects Apple TV and walks you through the setup process, step by simple step.
Relax and unwire
If you don't have a wireless network, you can set one up easily with a wireless access point like the superfast 802.11 AirPort Extreme Base Station. Newer AirPort Extreme-enabled Macs let you create a wireless network using only your computer. And if you have a Mac or PC without built-in wireless capability, you can connect Apple TV to your network using an Ethernet cable (sold separately).
One step. Great leap
Apple TV connects to your widescreen TV via an HDMI cable (sold separately). This simple connection delivers both audio and video to your TV - no need for multiple cables.
Options open
If your TV's HDMI port is occupied by another device, say a DVD player or DVR, or if your TV doesn't have an HDMI port, you can connect to Apple TV via component video and audio. Or connect Apple TV's audio to your A/V receiver via optical audio. No matter what your entertainment system looks like, Apple TV connects quickly and easily. And since Apple TV has a built-in power supply, there's no unwieldy power brick to hide.
