I have a BOSE which requires a coax cable and a flat screen hdmi. Is this the cable I need? I miss my surround sound

I'm really not sure. My mother in law bought the wrong cable for what she needed. I know the coax end has several prongs in it. Not like a normal coax that has one prong in it.

Nope. This particular item is an adapter for making specialized runs of hdmi. It's hdmi on one end and the other is a whole bunch of pins that mate up with a special extension cable just for this purpose.This link has some general information about video and audio connections: http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/article_498_making_your_audio_and_video_connections/page.html If you post some more specific info about what equipment you have, that would help narrow down what direction you need to head towards :-)

No. I have a tv that only has a coax input and I bout this cable to hook up an Apple TV which requires hdmi. You can't see it in the picture but the cable's end is not a normal coax. It wouldn't plug into my tv like a normal coax cable would. I had to send it back and have not been able to find the cable I need.

your Setup box would need to have composite or HDMI ouput, this you just connect it to one of the inputs of the Receiver, if you still use the old type of analog cable were you receive only a coaxial connection you would need a TV or VCR or Cable turner to pass signal from coaxial to a composite output.

J, I have it behind an AppleTv box via the HDMI output. It extracts the audio via the RCA outputs (the audio is still sent through the HDMI cable). It is not hardware dependent, it will work behind a DVD player (tried it and it worked) and will work with Roku box via the HDMI output. The Bose system has to have RCA audio in and it should be no problem. Dave

Double check that you have a port on the surround sound device for this cable. You may need to get a wireless device instead. My best advice is don't waste your money on this cable it's horrible.

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

Okay... It's been awhile since I setup my soundbar. If it comes with it then you are good to go. I just knew you would need such a connection cable.

As long as the tv has an optical out. If you already own the tv, just look on the back the input should match your bose. If you don't own it and are looking to buy then look up the model online and you should be able to find specs for it including the inputs it has.

You will need to buy sound cables, I used Monster Cables, strip the cables and inert the plus to the red clamp and the minus to the black. If you have a receiver do the same there. If you are going direct to your TV, you will have to figure what kind of hook-up you will need.

I agree with the response about connections. This product did not fit my SoundDock. I solved the problem by purchasing the correct power supply directly from Bose.

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.

That's probably not going to work since there is only one output source for the speakers - and those are for the speaker wires. the coax, component video, and optical cable are all inputs, only one hdmi output to connnect to your tv, the rest of the hdmi are all input from your other devices as well. do some search you may find a coax output for speakers, but it may be difficult because a lot of newer receivers are either hdmi, optical, component video and even bluetooth.

yes, I use this to connect to my Bose system which is connected to the TV....

Yes, that is correct. Coaxial and optical cables cannot carry HD audio signals; they simply cannot support the required bandwidth.

probably not unless your surround sound system uses ethernet. Depending on your system, you may want an Optical cable, or HDMI

In the previous response I hit yes by accident. I am not sure what you are asking because this is an adapter that you use on some Bose products if you have bare speaker wire. The bare wire could be coming from a receiver, amplifier or whatever you are using to power the speaker. Whatever it is, you will need bare speaker wire coming from that electronic item going into this adapter which will be connected to the back of the Bose speaker. So to answer your question no you don't have to have a receiver to use the adapter but you will need something that use bare speaker wire to power the Bose speakers. Hope this helps with your question. In the previous response I hit yes by accident.

You can't those two over coax or optical. HDMI definitely and most likely 5.1 analog

Sounds like what you need. My application required going from the orange RCA coax type on the TV and converting to the fiber optic type on the soundbar. It all works fine, but the converter does not come with either the coax cable or the fiber optic cable.
