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

It does not appear that any of the Bose Wave systems have an optical in. The AUX in appears to be analog only expecting a 3.5mm mini, not an optical (light) input. If you are trying to play audio from cable/sat, dvd/bluray, etc on the Wave system I'd look at audio outs on the cable/sat box or media player (dvd/blueray/streaming) to see what analog sources they have that could connect to the AUX on the Bose. Most of the time unless your cable is connected directly to the TV you don't want to take audio from the TV to an external source, but instead send the source audio to something other than the TV. Hope that helps. It does not appear that any of the Bose Wave systems have an optical in. The AUX in appears to be analog only expecting a 3.5mm mini, not an optical (light) input.

From the TV menu, turn the TV speaker off, and as long as the Bose set is powered on, they should work.

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.

I connected to a Bose Companion Speaker system. I have also connected it to my amplifier and stereo speakers. Both I owned already. If you think about the Phorus like your iPhone or laptop, how would you connect those at your house today to play to speakers? Phorus also has speakers you can buy but not included with this.

I'm not familiar with the Bose Lifestyle System and how it would interface with another speaker, but this FiiO will convert the optical signal from your TV, allowing an analog speaker or other analog audio hookup.

I bought a Yamaha sound bar that only connects to my TV. On the back of it is the place to connect the TV to the soundbar. The TV said Digital sound and the Yamaha only has optical sound I had to get the extra cord to make the connection work properly. Apparently this is very common with many electronic devices. The cables are much more expensive at local retailers.

Hey Craig-Which optical input connection on the Onkyo receiver did you use to connect the optical cable from your TV? I'm not having success. :-(

This is for connecting multiple INPUTS to one reciever or one output to multiple receivers. So if your Bose has optical input and your Cable box has optical output this can help. But this product has a lot of issues with reliablilty.

Just buy a 3.5" to RCA cable and you could hookup both TV (through optical input) and ipod/mp3players (through RCA input) at the same time. Only one input will be chosen at a time by the bose system (looks like optical gets the priority if a signal is available)

Sorry, but I don't know if Bose speakers would work but I have successfully connected to a variety of BT devices and see no reason why a name brand like Bose would not work also.

Hi Ken,Did you try it? Did it work? I want to run the Bluray player or TV HDMI sound out to RCA in to my stereo to get more sound out of my tv.Martha

There is an optical output in the TV , the optical input from sound bar should be connected to the optical output of the TV. I am not sure if this will work with other TV. I think if there is an optical output, it may work.

Actually I'm using the optical audio output from my Sony tv to the optical input of the sound bar...not sure why it wouldn't work when using the red/white output from your tv into the soundbar...all I did was hook it up and turn my TV speaker off...make sure the blue light is lit up on the soundbar when powered up...

You need to have inputs for the jacks to go in. Not sure if the Bose has that. I hooked mine up to a stereo receiver and it worked really well. Hope you can get yours to work as Bose speakers are the best!

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.

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.
