Connect a Mac Mini to an Onkyo Receiver Wirelessly
The compact size of the Mac mini makes it well suited for placement on a shelf or even in a cabinet, rather than having it on a computer table. Connect the Mac mini's video and audio wirelessly to an Onkyo receiver for transmitting the video to a HDTV and the audio through high-fidelity speakers. To connect a Mac mini wirelessly, use a radio frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver set. A number of these devices are available from computer or electronics stores. All operate in a similar manner to wirelessly transmit video and audio from a computer like the Mac mini to an audio receiver like an Onkyo. No special tools are needed.
