ÂÂ An HDMI cable: You can connect Apple TV to an HDTV or home theater receiver that has an HDMI port, using an HDMI cable for both video and audio.

ÂÂ An optical digital audio cable (optional): Use this cable if you want to connect Apple TV to a receiver for audio.

Important:  Before you connect Apple TV to a power outlet, carefully read these installation instructions and the safety information in the included Apple TV Important Product Information Guide.
