Stay tuned.

This is Twit.

Hello and welcome to Hands on Tech, the show where I, Micah Sargent, take your tech questions

and do my diddley dog on best to answer them. We have gotten in some good questions. And by the way,

if you have a tech question that you have yet to ask me, or perhaps you've asked me

in the past, and it hasn't come around, be sure to reach out. You can email us, hot at twit.tv,

with your questions. You can also email me, Micah, at twit.tv, but it's easier, those three letters,

HOT at twit.tv. This week's question comes in from Dawn. Don is actually referencing an earlier

question and solution. And I really like this one because Don says, you mentioned using a Mac

Mini for a home theater setup as an option. So could you please expand on this in detail?

Thanks for all you do for the tech

industry and making it simple for the end user. Great question, Don, and also a very kind second

sentence. So let's get into it. It's very easy to use a Mac Mini as a home theater system,

and depending on how you want to do it, this setup is a little different. Let's say you specifically want to use the Mac Mini as your home theater system and home theater

sort of broadcast method. And by that I mean it is directly plugged into your home theater

viewport of choice,

whether that's a projector or a television or what have you.

This is the way to go about setting things up in that way,

and then I'll talk a little bit more about using it as more of a

almost a network-attached storage home theater system. So So first and foremost, Mac Mini, you are not alone in considering this an option.

It has long been a favorite for home theater enthusiasts.
