It's going to sound a lot like regular surround if you don't have 6 speakers Here's the tech on it:Apple TVs audio chip supports 7.1 surround sound, but Apple TV only officially supports Dolby Pro Logic simulated 5.1. Unofficially, full 5.1 Surround Sound digital discrete is supported by Apple TV if a 5.1-capable receiver is connected via the optical cable to Apple TV and the audio content is encoded as lossless. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_TVAnd here's the skinny in my opinion: simulated 5.1 sounds just like regular Dolby stereo. A little trickery can sometimes enhance the sound a bit, but you can't get a full and rich audio experience from two speakers.

If your TV (HD or otherwise) only has front speakers and no satellites (and I don't know of one that does), it is never going to sound as good as a true 5.1 speaker setup. The Apple TV component is irrelevant in such a case. Now if you hook the Apple TV up to a receiver that has all six speakers, based on the unofficial specs (and I see reviews that agree with them), it's going to sound just as good as the input from a DVD player or other device with digital outputs.

I hope that helps! Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_TV .

Deppends on bitrate used. It realy deppends on the bitrate used for AAC. Remember this.

If your AAC audio stream is reencoded from original AC3 stream, of a retail DVD, at same or higher bitrate, then you got nothing. AAC stream will sound same. If the bitrate used in AAC is much lower than bitrate used is AC3, then AAC will sound worse then AC3 but sometimes it is something only audiophyle, or specialized measuring devices (microphones) will notice.

Regular people hardly notice any difference. So if you want for your AAC stream to sound better than AC3 stream it would have to be reencoded from some (very) high quality source, like a master copy. Complicated :(, like in your other question -> "Will AAC 5.1 soundtrack sound better than AC3, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II thru surround sound speakers?

Which format is". I'll just say that you don't have to wory too much. You'll probably hardly notice any difference whatever audio format/quality you'll be using.

Sources: My opinion.

Most televisions with speakers are designed for the internal tuner or line ins. You may be able to get something that will split the optical out audio cable with the AC3 signal into analog RCA audio out you can plug into the TVs audio inputs. Its likely to be stereo or Dolby Pro Logic.

Sources: Unless you television has Optical or Coaxial in (for audio), you need an amplifier/reciever .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
