If the apple TV is jailbriken, then you can use some other formats and a whole lot of other programs. The less elegant way to do all this is to have a Apple TV connected by ethernet or wifi to your router, and a mac mini to the same router, and then the Sony TV will accept anything your mac mini has, provided it is iTunes compatible. to play the movies in different formats, it is necessary to switch the output from built in speakers to an amplifier (painfully, every time) and then the sound comes from the amp-speaker combo and the picture from the TV. But in the quicktime / ELMedia player etc. I also have a USB out to my DAC for music, which is the principal purpose of the mac mini. Then i restarted the mac mini, as before. I switched off the mac mini, disconnected the HDMI, connected it back, switched on the mac mini, AND HELD DOWN THE OPTION BUTTON THROUGHOUT, then pressed CMD+F1. Hence when connecting with HDMI to a Sony Bravia, the mac mini did not recognise the Sony and vice versa. It appears that this leaves the mac mini with the memory of the samsung.
I had earlier used a samsung with the mac mini, and straight out of the box, it matched with the samsung. Initially I was disheartened after reading all that has been written in this particular article comments section, but luckily I managed to crack this. I have solved this problem with the help of telephone support.
The TV will turn itself off, then back on again then release the up arrow button.Turn on the TV and while holding down the up arrow on the remote control, press the power button on the TV.Turn off the TV and unplug all the HDMI connections to the TV.The Sony should show up in your display profiles even if the TV is OFF. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. Press the power button to turn on the computer. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Find other devices with HDMI input (game consoles ect.) to cross check.
