Bose Cinemate II Is this a replacement for current speakers or does it work in conjunction with them and it says hooks directly to TV can you run it through receiver

You can run these through either your TV or receiver. They can work in conjunction with your current TV speakers, but not sure why you would want to do this. On the other hand, they can replace the TV speakers by simply turning the built in TV speakers off.

Most TV's have an option to turn off the built-in speakers inside the TV. All the Cinemate II is doing is acting as an EXTENSION of your TV speakers (via RCA or TOSLINK). I turn my TV speakers off and let the Bose handle all of the work.

I believe the curvature of the speakers+acoustics of the room you have it in=near 5.1 quality, iirc, is the formula that Bose used to make these work in the right way.

No, the speakers the come in the TV are acceptable for stock speakers nowadays. Still, you should probably invest in exterior speakers at some point.

If you only have the Bose Acoustimass 3 III subwoofer, it must be connected to a receiver, any brand, can be stereo or 5.1, but you will only get stereo sound, not 5.1, You will need two sets of wires from the two speakers to your receiver, and two sets of wires from the two speakers to the Bose sub.I think I have the four sets of wires, that I can list on Amazon, if interested, let me know, or they nay be some listed already, you need total of four sets Bose 20" speaker wires, they have bare wires at one end, and RCA connection at the other end.

The connection points to the receiver are proprietary, the connection points to the speaker are hardwired. If the speaker blows you can splice a regular speaker wire to the connector and as long as the replacement speaker matches impedance you should be fine.

This item is just speakers (also comes with wires). You will actually need a receiver to hook them up to in order to make them work. A DVD player will also be needed if you want to watch movies using these speakers. More importantly though (and mandatory) is the receiver (any brand will do). A home theater system would also work in place of a receiver, but most of those come with speakers.

I have two BOSE speakers with a left and right cable, can i connect these cables to this adapter and then the adapter to my tv to get audio on my speakers from the tv?

This speaker hooks up using the RCA type cables. Only use red and white for audio input. If you have a Direct TV receiver it would connect directly to it.

HI Sir, Just little inquiry about the product itself. I have BOSE Acoustimass 5 Series 3 i wonder if it's capable of handling the receiver itself. Since it has a subwoofer stated 10-200W/Channel, 4-8 OHMS may i know if it's compatible with the BOSE and receiver itself. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your question. You always have the option to go into the TV's audio menu and enable the TV's speakers and not play the speakers connected to the receiver. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

you would need an amplifier/receiver between the directv receiver and these, these are passive speakers and need power.if you want to connect a directv receiver, you need the bose cinemate, those would connect directly to the directv receiver and work fine.

It has RCA Jacks for Audio in the back. I do not think they are really meant for speakers. They should go to an amplifier. I run mine to my TV sound system.

Should snap into the receiver. If the speakers are configured the same, you should have no problem. They are tight, which they are meant to be, so a little pressure will need to be excreted. Mine are plugged into an Onkyo TX-NR1009.

You can do a couple things. Buy an adapter for RCA like you said, or try to go right into your receiver. If you have a cable box, then you could pull the audio directly from there instead of through the tv. What i do is pull the audio through my home theatre system instead of through the tv.

These cannot go directly to TV. To go direct to TV speakers would have to have a built in amplfier. Thus they need to plug into a standard stereo receiver (which has an amplifier) and the the receiver and TV are connected using RCA plugs.

On most any Bose system including the Bose Wave system, you connect the Audio output from the TV into the audio input of your Bose receiver and you get the audio from your Tv. As of this time I do not have a Bose Wave but do have A Bose Lifestyle 28 surround system, like new that you can use for your tv audio, thanks fir your question, Jack

The RCA's are only input on the TV. The only audio output it has is a Digital Audio Output which is coaxal, so your receiver needs a digital audio coaxal input.

There is only one set of speaker outputs. Standard spring lever that you pull down and slide the bare wire in. So the question is, can you substitute your bose speakers with the ones that come with the unit. I would think so but you would need to see if the power of the unit is enough to drive the bose speakers.
