How can I connect ATV to my Bose Lifestyle 8 system?

How can I connect my 3rd generation Apple TV to my home theater BOSE Lifestyle 8 system (1999)?
In the BOSE reciver there isn't optical output just analog.
what the solution for this issue?

The problem is with the Bose bar and not the Apple TV .  I have confirmed that sound is Transmitted from both the HDMI output and the Optical (Toslink) output simultaneously from the Apple TV
The BOSE bar AUTOMATICALLY selects the best quality signal . You can't select it.   So HDMI  will win and once the TV is off,  audio will not work. 
The AUX port is essential useless as Bose told me its for "Redundancy" and you can't "select" to use it. 
What you need is an optical selector .  I bought this one for around $20 from amazon .  I like it because its black and you can connect up to 4 devices.

Because the Bose bar inputs from the Optical out on the back of the TV,  have it now go through the selector.  Your Apple TV can be input 2 . 
You can now watch TV or Apple TV normally but if you want to still hear the music from Apple TV ,  manually change the selector to input 2 on the optical selector device .  When you turn off TV it will still play sound coming from apple tv's optical output . 
Works perfectly !  Cheap work around .  Unfortunately for such an expensive Bose device you shouldn't  need to buy "work arounds" but I'm very happy with the sound quality and I'm a Bose believer .   So it was worth doing .

  • I have an older HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection. I use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II system and have a HDTV cable box. Bose system has no HDMI. How can I connect an Apple TV to this system?

    I have an older flat panel HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection which is being used through my cable box for TV reception.  I also use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II home theatre system.  It has no HDMI inputs. Can I use an Apple TV with my present system?  I'd prefer not hearing, "buy a new flat panel."

    Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.

  • How can I connect with SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition

    Hello together,
    I downloaded and installed the SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition on a virtual client.
    I toke a long period to finish the installation.
    Now some questions to use this system in the right way:
    1.) How can I get a "developer license" which do not expire? Because the link http://www.sap.com/minisap seems to be not ok.
    2.) How can I connect via network with the sap system? the application server is running on a vm client with a static ip i.e. 192.168.1.5. And my laptop gets a ip in the same range. I have installed the gui on my laptop and tried to connect with the system. But it does not work! I used as application server the ip of the virtual machine. I use the gui witch is installed on the same host like the application it works (with localhost as application server adress)
    3.) Where can I download the newest version of the SAP Gui? I do not have a service marktplace account? Is it possible?
    4.) I read in the documentation that it should be possible to reach the sap system also with web dynpro: http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000
    But it does not work. I got an error message: Service cannot be reached
    Note
    The termination occurred in system NSP with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
    The selected virtual host was 0 .

  • How can I connect my existing firewire drives to the "new" Macbook pro

    I'm thinking about getting a new Macbook Pro, to take on the road.
    I already have four external drives with firewire and USB 2.0 ports.
    After I looked at the new machine I noticed it only had USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt ports.
    I dont see any Firewire to Thunderbolt technology out there nor do I see any  USB3.0 to anything technology. How can I connect my drives to the new system?

    You can use the USB3 connections for USB2.  That's downward compatible.  Just runs at USB2 speed.
    Just this week apple announced a couple of TB adapters, TB-to-ethernet and TB-to-firewire.  But the FW adapter is not at the apple store as yet (at least at the time I am posting this).

  • I have an ATV 1 which is connected to my Bose Lifestyle System.  I just expanded the system and connected a second AMP for the expansion.  Can I connect the ATV 1 to the aux jacks (RCA Cables) of the expansion amp?  Thanks

    I have an ATV 1 which is connected to my Bose Lifestyle System.  I just expanded the system outdoors using a second Bose System Amp.  Does anyone know if I'm able to connect my ATV 1 to the Bose expansion module in addition to keeping it connected to my main Lifestyle System using RCA cables?  The new amp has RCA input jacks for auxiliary inputs.  Thank you. 

    hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

  • My HD TV has two HDMI inputs which are being used by a home theater system and my RCN cable box. i want to be able to use my appleTV as well as those but do not have another HDMI input. How can i connect it so that i can use any 1 of the 3 at any time?

    Get an HDMI switcher. Plug in the ATV directly to the TV and then use the switcher on the other input.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • How can i connect to SQL Server 7.0 on Windons Using JDBC

    How can i connect to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 on a windows enviroment ?
    in sql server 2000 some jar files are required that is
    What you need to do is actually add all three jar files to your class path individually. There are three jar files that come with this driver the msbase.jar, msutil.jar, and mssqlserver.jar. for sqlQ server 2000.
    now the problem is that i cant find these files on my system. firstly where these files will be located. secondly are they will be used to connect to SQL Server 7.0. thirdly if not what is the procedure.
    My next Problem is that I have Websphere Studio Application Developer. in which their is this facility of Database Webpages its like a wizard which makes automatically beans servlets and JSP but before that you need a Driver Name and and Class Name for to Connect to the Database.
    Can you tell what is the specific Driver Path for the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 . secondly is this the class which is used to connect to SQL server 7.0 "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" where can i find this one. for SQL server 7.0.
    please provide some guidance in this regard.

    You can search for the JDBC drivers at, http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
    All the three jars that you specified are part of MsSQL Server jdbc driver. You need them (in the classpath) to get connected to the database.
    "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" is the class in mssqlserver.jar. This is the driver class which will be used to get connected to the database.
    You can search in this forum for writting jdbc code (for Sql Server). If you don't find these jars, give me your e-mail id.

  • My SLD is configured in SOLMAN sys, How can I connect it with SAP PI system

    Dear Friends
           My Basis has configured SLD in Solman, Now I cant use SXMB_IFR tcode in my PI that suggest me some error. saying "error in connection cant read secure connection config" or something like that.  Plus SLDCHECK tcode is also not happy. it suggest that RFC connections are missing.
         It is clear that My SLD is not linked with PI system. something is missing in technical system part and its not even bridged. but since I am not a BASIS guy I dont know How can I configure it. Not even my BASIS guy understands that I need to bring SOLMAN SLD to PI.
    Can anyone suggests me How can I bring my SOLMAN SLD to PI system so I can run SXMB_IFR tcode ? I need to create some rfc connection like LCRSAPRFC and SAPSLDAPI but dont know the connection type like t, or something else. Please englight me by suggesting How can I bring my SOLMAN SLD to PI.
    One intresting observation is when I try to run my SLD over url using PI system as host it comes but says SLD is not configured properly and when I did the same practice with SOLMAN host it works fine and I didnt receive any error.
    Please reply me. your any help will be appreciated greatly.
    Regards
    Naeem

    Hi,
    Preferebly PI should have it's own SLD. And SOLMAN could use PI's SLD.
    Please check Installation guide and SLD Administration Guide from Service Market place before finalizing SLD architecture in your System landscape.
    I guess SOLMAN will have only one Instance in system landscape. (Not three system landscape like Dev, Qa, Prod).
    If you want to go ahead with your current SLD plan, then Change your SLD hostname in Exchange Profile of PI, to SOLMAN Host name.

  • How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
    It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
    Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.  Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs.  Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.
