I have Bose speakers which takes 3.5 aux as input. I need to connect this to my LG tv which accepts optical cable only for Sound. Can i use this?

If there's an optical output and you want to connect the sound to your speakers this is exactly what you need.

What 2 channel types do you have? I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.

You must use the optical port. The 3.5mm output is for any additional headphones you wish to connect.

If depends on a couple things. First, does your tv's optical audio output send out 5.1 or just 2 channel stereo? Some tv's mix the audio down to 2 channels. Also, do you have any other devices such a a blu ray player or gaming console hooked up to your tv? If so, it might be best to use your tv as the audio switcher so all your devices can benefit from the speakers.

Yes with a converter. The one I used is ViewHD Toslink Optical Audio Splitter 1x3 | One Input to Three Outputs | VHD-TS1X3. Input from Optical audio out from the TV and 1 output to my sound bar another to a DBTech Digital to Analog Audio Converter with Digital Optical Toslink and S/PDIF Coaxial Inputs and Analog RCA and AUX 3.5mm (Headphone) Outputs hooked up to the base unit. Much better sound than from the headphone output from the TV. Doing it with the splitter means it is always set up, if you have 2 optical outputs on your TV you don't need a splitter.

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.

Yes. I currently have mine hooked to my LG flat screen. You should have an 3.5mm audio jack, simply plug it in. If you have everything in and the volume up on both the tv and the Bose system and nothing comes through, simply go into the TVs audio setup and adjust for an outside system. Hopefully this helps you out my friend.

depends. If you have an RCA cable out you can buy a cord that changes a red and white to an AUX headphone jack and plug that into the sound system. If you are trying to use HDMI or optical then no.

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.

You can route the audio through your TV "if" your TV has an optical output. You would want to check and make sure.

You can only hook-up a optical connection to a amplifier with such input. Or you can buy a soundbar, but not directly to speakers. any more questions you can reach me a Central TV Inc. >> 330-395-4935 >> gncalugar@gmail.com I hope this info helps, George

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

You don't need one. If your receiver has an Audio Out - you can run a RCA (red/white) to 3.5mm cord from your receiver's audio out to the input on the back of the LG soundbar and it will play whatever the receiver is playing. The soundbar does NOT have an audio out so you cannot hook it up the reverse way.

There are two types of audio inputs. Dual standard RCA ( L-R) and a Single input for CD etc. The Speaker inputs are standard RCA.I use the supplied cable with single 3.5 mm connector on one end from my TV head phone Jack and 2 Standard RCA Jacks on other end plugged into the speakers. I don,t know weather this helps you or not.

I don't see why not, it would plug into the AUX input which requires a 3.5 mm mini plug connection and your all set. I plugged my TV into the Aux input for theater sound.

joe, There are two most common options - you can use either a digital optical audio out (if your receiver supports that), or the 3.5mm analog output that will either go to a 3.5mm input, or can be used with a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, which will support most receivers that have an AUX or TV input. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

The digital optical audio cable I purchased works just fine with my LG tv and LG sound bar. I had to use the audio optical output because the tv did not have any other audio output to hook up the sound bar. I have no RCA vs. digital optical audio comparison but, like I said, the cord worked fine.
