[Hidden-tech] Cutting the cable: Apple TV

[Lisa Sieverts]

I wonder if you are looking at an optical connector. This was standard a 
few years ago. I was lucky and happened to have both an Apple TV and a 
sound bar of the correct generation and used the optical cable to 
connect them to each other. I suspect that you may have to replace 
whichever of your devices is older in order to get to the current 
technology.
