Slightly off topic, but my solution to this was to buy something called "Kima" from http://www.akoo.com. It broadcasts on a 900 mhz freq. from the sound out port of a mac to a re…

I have hooked my iMac up to my stereo via the audio output jack. It works fine. I use a 1/8" mini jack to rca (red and white) connectors. I …

Ok, here's what I found.
1. Putting both the receiver and Mac on the same outlet did nothing to eliminate the hum. Neither did shortening the cable from 15 ft. to 1 ft.

you should try using a cable that has the shield only tied to the mac's ground connection and not to the stereo's RCA shields (but make sure the shield is continuous throughout the…

You can't get Dolby 5.1 with normal CDs anway, unless you don't want the subwoofer. The 5.1 uses a seperate channel just for the subwoofer. If it doesn't send out the signal, it …

I've had no problems with my Cinema Display. No bad or stuck pixels, mars on the screen or anything.
