I bought Mac mini today and I will become a new Mac fan, but my TV can not show any for Mac mini! Can I just power off? is it no trouble to HD or anything else?
Got a tip for us?

Please read this https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/920543/, I thought the problem is my Sharp AQUOS TV is only support 1080i and 720p, not 1080p, but the Mac mini should be set default to 1080p, so I got message "The video single can't be received, please setup input equipment".
Do you think so?
By the way, do you have any idea to solve my problem? What can I do?
I am using a USB wireless keyboard and mouse, so that I can't reboot in safe mode.

You know, even if I press power button, the LED on the front is still light, so is it no any problems if I take power plug away from socket?
How about another HDMI monitor/TV? DVI to DVI cable is ~5$ so maybe you could try it with one.
Try rebooting into "Safe Mode", this sets the resolution at a different level, which may be able to be shown on your tv. To boot into safe mode, press the power button and right after your hear the startup tone press and hold the shift key.
Your Mini should recognize the video mode automatically. My brother had that problem with his 52" Sharp and as it turns out he just bought a new adapter. Seems like the tv didn't like going from Mini Display Port to DVI and then DVI to Hdmi (he was changing the signal too many times.)
All he did was just buy a simple Mini Display Port to HDMI dongle. Then it recognized the signal just fine.
If you are using Mini DisplayPort or Mini Dvi to HDMI then I would for sure try it on a different TV to make sure the adaptor isn't faulty (they can be). If it works on another TV then you know your TV is the problem, and some setting needs to be tinkered with.

Then I don't have any USB keyboard

Have you tried pressing shift? IMO any KB should work, even Bluetooth
Mine is not bluetooth keyboard, its a USB wireless keyboard, I think it should be initialized after boot, do you think so?
I tried a couple of times...
Go find another TV. Its not like the Mini is huge or anything. Just take it in its box with the power cord to WalMart and say you have to try and make sure it works on the TV there or something.
LOL if it works on another TV then you know you should call your television support line and start fiddling with your settings.
Well, at the moment, I have to power off my Mac mini, can you tell me what keys what I clicked by order can shutdown it?

Just hold the power button for ~5 secs. Then unplug the power cord
Thanks a lot!
I will call Apple Support and bring my mini to Apple Store for adjusting resolution.
