I want to get a Bose TV Solo Sound System to work both my TV and my DVD player. Will this do the job for me?

If your trying to feed your TV and sound bar from the DVD Player this will not feed both at the same time, it is a switch. Try going into your TV audio in and then come Audio out of the TV to the input of the sound bar or visa versa. If you do not have enough ins and outs look View HD SPDIF | TOSLINK Digital Optical Audio Splitter 1x3" here on Amazon.

If the Bose system has an optical input, then yes. Just keep the device in a place where you can reach it, because you have to manually flip a switch to change devices. Also, it emits a blue light, and it's kind of bright, so make sure that won't bother you.

I am using this devise with a Soundbar that my TV and DVD feed into. You flip the little switch between the two. It works.

I use the splitter to power my LG sound bar from one side and a wireless headphone set from the other. It works great.

Best to go to a Bose store and test both units side-by-side. Bring a CD or DVD that offers excellent sound to compare. On the CD side I usually play a smooth jazz disc which really highlights the mids and highs and play at low volume which really tells the story. On the DVD I play an action flick with considerable surround sound audio so you can see how they compare to a 5.1 system. I think you will find the GS system is worth the extra coin as the mids and highs are very clear while they seem muffled on the regular series II system. Yes both systems seem a bit pricey but unless you really want an exceptional 5.1 or 7.1 audio experience the Bose will provide excellent sound.

Probably not. The speaker only reproduces what the TV is doing. You could try your audio settings on the TV to see if a different setting works with the newer DVDs.

Yes it will do the job. That is exactly what I did plus I had a surround sound system that it was connected to.

I don't know the specifics of your setup but it does have audio out from DVD player. I have the audio out from the tview hooked up to the audio in of my pioneer head unit. I play the sound through the factory speakers.

Not much you can do with the tv in regards to sound instead of getting a sound bar or some sort of speaker system. I had a Bose system that I use for movies.

You are correct in that this is not a stand alone component. It would have to hook into some sort of system that has speakers. For instance, I have a Bose Wave unit, and these hooked right into it. Your cost for a sound system depends on the quality you want. If you have separate units (your speakers are separate from your amplifier), then this unit would have to go through your amplifier. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you, as I am only marginally tech smart! I can tell you that this Sony unit is excellent for playing and for copying CDs. However, I find it easier to make CDs through my computer these days!

I'd say yes. as long as you can use your TV as your center speaker you're better off with the back speakers as the option.

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.

They work great overall. The think is your going to need to use the two remotes, one for the DVD player and one for the speakers. Unless your TV is really nice. I'd use the speakers.

I don't have a home theater, but it does have audio/video output. I have used it with headphones and sounds great. Very happy with Coby dvd player. I also use it for my yoga sessions. I imagine it will work well with your system. The cord is on the short side.

As for the DVD player it works very well, as does the CD player. If you are working with more speakers it should sound great.

As long as your TV has the appropriate inputs, you should be fine. Check the back of your TV and look for either a composite video input (yellow jack) or a component video input (red, blue, and green jacks). With each of those there will also be an audio input (red and white jacks). The player will come with the composite cable and audio cables. Use the component input if you have it (you'll need to buy the cables separately) for better picture quality. If you only have composite just use the cables that come with the player. Once you're all hooked up, just use the input button on your TV's remote to select the one that your player is hooked up to. One nice thing about this Sony player is that it also has an input button on its remote as well as volume buttons, and once you set it up to work with your TV, you won't even need the TV remote when you want to watch a DVD. If you only have a coax connection on your TV though, you will need to purchase an RF modulator, which will convert the DVD connections to a coax connection. Just be aware that picture quality will go down and you will get mono sound. Maybe not a big deal if you're just using it with a basic TV in the spare room. Hope this helps - good luck with your DVD player!

I test it without the TV on. I'd say no. The DVD player apparently doesn't have any speakers. Sound comes through the TV speakers. But with the TV on it plays CD very nice.

From the Bose web page: *Designed for use with your stereo or home theater receiverSo--yes, you do... unless...Of course, your flat screen output might have enough wattage to drive acceptable sound from your Bose speakers, but it's likely that you won't have enough volume without annoying levels of noise from the low-powered amp in your flat panel's audio wiring. If your TV has outputs for "external speaker" you might make those work to drive the Bose. With just a "line out" or "audio out" jack you may get some sound, but you probably need an amplifier or receiver to be happy. Good news--those are incredibly cheap used these days in the homes of baby boomers everywhere and your local Goodwill...

I'm using it for a TV so if your DVD player has the correct audio output it should work fine.

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)
