This is a toslink cable, if your Aux interface is not digital toslink type, it will not work.

yes it does. I was able to connect my TV with Bose system using the optical audio output.

I had the same issue. use an Analog output audio cord or the Co-axial audio output cord to connect the Soundbar directly to your tv. I ended up just plugging the Optical connection from the Soundbar into my Blu Ray player. I used an Analog output audio cord that I had laying around in my house to connect the soundbar to my TV. If you don't have an analog or co-axial cord, be sure to buy one because this soundbar doesn't provide either for you.

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

I can't think of any reason why it can't fit in any place other than the TV. The connection I used was the optical cable that appeared to be a couple feet long. As long as you can connect the optical cable or other cables of the Bose to the TV. It should work fine. It appears that where you put the unit in the room will affect the sound. As I indicated, we put ours in a corner which emphasized the base. Move it where you want it and see how it sounds. We're happy with the Bose Solo now that we could reduce the base. I hope that this helps. Art

Could you use the AV Cables that are in the back to hook it up to a portable sound dock? I just purchased one of these off ebay and was either going to get a Red/White Audio spitter to a 3.5mm Coaxial that way I can run it through my portable Bose Sound Dock to enhance the sound (http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Stereo-3-5mm-AUD-1200-25/dp/B0016LTZFI/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514406&sr=1-11) or if that audio channel is dedicated to the Svideo Input, You could buy a Digital to analog converter (http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Audio-Analog-Converter/dp/B0013LWK3A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514478&sr=1-1) and then use a Toslink cable from the MM72 to the Converter and then the RCA cables to whatever you choose. lol Sorry its what I am going to do.

I use the Bose 325 for a projector . The two are connected by HDMI cable. Works fine. Same should hold true for TV.

I am unfamiliar with the Bose unit you have, but it looks like it is a speaker setup with bluetooth built in. Assuming that is the case, you will hook the Indigo device to whatever you want the source to be (TV, MP3 player, etc) and set the switch to transmit. The Indigo has a button on top that can be used to change the modes. Instructions will be provided with the Indigo that explain the modes. But if I remember correctly, you will hold the button about 5 seconds until the led flashes blue and red, indicating it is in a pairing mode. You will also set the Bose into a pairing mode, and the two should find each other. It may take a little fiddling, but it should work fine (even if you don't know how to play the fiddle :-)

Without knowing more about you setup (type of TV, etc.) I cannot answer with certainty. If you have the receiver and the TV connection via HDMI from the receivers HDMI out you might be able to use TV audio return channel. Otherwise connecting the optical cable should work, just make sure you have the correct mode selected on the receiver. I believe it is TV but it could be different. Check the manual.

Hello Karen, Thank you for contacting us about our listing for the Bose Wave - Audio System - Radio / Cd - Graphite Gray. We are not entirely sure what you are inquirling about, but we will try to help you as much as we can. This particular Bose system is technically not designed for for a TV, although it does have RCA inputs (red and white) that you could hook up a DVD player, or your TV if it happens to have an audio out (most TV's do not), if that is what you wish to do. However, it may not provide the quality sound you are looking for. This is more designed for CD, radio, and receivers as such. Bose does have surroud systems for your TV if you wish to look at those. You may look at this item we have by searching within Amazon with the product code B008EWNVI4. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you.

I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. The switch detects an HDMI signal and passes that through. The output should "look" the same to the Bose unit as if it were not run thru a switch.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

You need an amp. I doubt that your TV has a powered output capable of driving the Bose.

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

Hi James, they don't need a Bose system, I'm using them on a middle of the range AV receiver and very good. May work on a tv but prob not as the ohm and wattage is probably not high enough from the tv, check the output of the tv to check if possible. Have fun.

A quick visit to the Audioengine web site (hint!) shows (since I'm at work and cannot look at the back of my speakers at home...) that the system has two input modes: the four RCA (+/-, LR) connectors, and a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack. However, if your TV has only digital outputs available (which would seem odd, to me), some kind of converter would be required, I should think.

Sassy, we have the speakers connected to the Samsung TV. Our Bose is also connected to the TV. If you have a plug on the Bose to plug in the speaker 'adapter' then this will work on the Bose.
