Apple TV (2nd Gen) problem

[sa226]

I will probably sound like a complete moron when I say this, but I was having a hell of a time getting my android phone to pair with my sound system. I googled the crap out of everything, reflashed a new ROM thinking it was something wrong the phone etc etc.

Turns out I was doing it backwards, I was trying to get the phone to search for the sound system when I was supposed to make the sound system to search for the phone. I just put the phone in "visible mode" or whatever its called and bam, problem solved.

It sounds like you have paired other things so maybe this post was a complete waste of time, but it may be worth it to reverse the process.

ATV only supports bluetooth pairing with keyboards, not speakers or headphones.

I am sure you could jailbreak around this, but I am sure they want you to buy an airport express or use some other means of home sharing, rather than bluetooth

Does the speaker system have an Optical sound in port? My apple tv (got for xmas present, not sure what gen but probably the most recent) has an Optical out port on it.
