Your computer is the center of your digital life. Your TV is the
center of your entertainment life. But what if you want to watch
movies, TV shows, movie trailers, podcasts, and photos from your
computer on your TV? For one low price, Apple TV brings iTunes to
the big screen.
Say you’ve just downloaded The Incredibles from iTunes. Instead
of huddling around your computer to watch, you pop some popcorn
while your computer wirelessly syncs your new flick to Apple TV.
Then you pull up a seat, put up your feet, and pick up the
included Apple Remote to play your movie on TV. Give yourself a
hand: You've just changed the way you watch digital media.
How Apple TV works for you. Getting all your favorite iTunes
movies, TV shows and music from your Computer to your TV is a
snap with Apple TV.
Apple TV ports 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 from any Mac or PC in the
house. Best of all, what's on Apple TV stays in sync: Anytime 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 — movies, TV shows, music, 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. *
Just add popcorn.
Turn your living room into a multiplex with Apple TV. From the
Movies menu, you can choose from up to 50 hours of flicks from
iTunes, home movies you made yourself, previews from iTunes Top
Movies, even movie trailers that stream directly from Apple.com.
* Channel you.
Be your own program director with up to 50 hours of TV shows on
Apple TV. Sort shows by date or show, then watch them anytime —
completely commercial free. Or check out the latest TV offerings
from iTunes Top TV Shows.
* 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 9,000 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 favorite audio podcasts through
your entertainment system speakers and watch video podcasts from
the comfort of your couch.
* Get the big picture.
Apple TV brings photo slideshows out of the den 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.

Your iPod syncs seamlessly with iTunes. Apple TV does the same —
wirelessly, from wherever your Mac or PC may be. Your computer is
in your office. Your TV is in your living room. Apple TV brings
them together using its built-in 802.11 wireless capability and
your existing wireless network. Pair Apple TV with your computer
and your TV shows, movies, music, podcasts, and photos sync
automatically. Through the air. Like magic. Sync from one… Open
iTunes and Apple TV appears in your devices list, ready to sync.
Set iTunes to sync unwatched video. Sync new purchases. Or
manually select what to sync. Set your preferences once and Apple
TV automatically updates as your iTunes library changes.
Everything travels over your network to Apple TV’s built-in hard
drive. So once you sync, even if you turn off your computer or
disconnect it from the network, you can still enjoy stored video
— up to 50 hours of it — from Apple TV.
…stream from many. If you want to watch video from another
computer, you can stream it live to your TV via Apple TV.
Streamed media travels over your network to your TV — without
taking up space on Apple TV’s hard drive. That’s perfect for
multicomputer households or when the computer you sync with has
more in its iTunes library than will fit on Apple TV. Just choose
up to five additional computers from the Sources menu. As long as
a computer’s on your network, it can stream to your TV.
It just fits.
Easy connectivity and built-in wireless make Apple TV right at
home in your home entertainment system. Got a widescreen TV? Got
iTunes? Then you’re ready for Apple TV. Connect Apple TV to your
TV and open iTunes on your computer. iTunes wirelessly detects
Apple TV and walks you through a simple setup.
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 wireless
capability, you can connect Apple TV to your network using an
Ethernet cable (sold separately).

separately). This simple connection delivers both audio and video
to your TV — no need for multiple cables.
If your TV’s HDMI port is occupied by another device, or if your
TV doesn’t have an HDMI port, you can connect to Apple TV via
component video and audio. So no matter what your entertainment
system looks like, Apple TV connects easily. And since Apple TV
has a built-in power supply, there's no unwieldy power brick to
hide.
