Forum Discussion
I was told by Bose that I needed to do this. The sound came when put on FM, but not on the TV - no sound at all
I am tech challenged and I'm flying by the seat of my pants.
I'm not going to dispute anything Bose said to you, but I do wonder if they understood what you were asking, or even if they understood that you had a Roku TV, not a TV with a separate Roku device attached.
Or, maybe I'm not understanding things.
On manual page 17, it does show that you would connect the video from the Bose to the TV composite input. However, that would be if you had an external video source, such as a DVD player or a VCR. And if you have those, then yes, do that. But, if the TV is your video source, you wouldn't take HD or UHD video and feed it into your Bose to get SD video back out to watch. I mean, you can connect the RCA cords but you wouldn't be using the video through the Bose, only the audio.
Pages 27 & 28 indicate (but I don't see that it explicitly states) that you would use Video 1 for video/audio of the TV. I'm not certain why it matters, but that's how I'm reading it. At a minimum, connect the red/white RCS cords to the corresponding RCS jacks on the TV and Bose. I personally think the yellow video would be optional, but you may want to connect it anyway.
You would then use Video 1 to select the TV for listening.
If I'm reading it correctly. renojim may very well have better thoughts on this. If he contradicts anything I've said, defer to him.
