How to connect audio reciver to soundbar - Audio Players & Recorders

These components are meant to be compatible with each other, providing a seamless audio and video experience. Here's how you can connect them:

1. Connections to the Media Center:a. Soundbar Connection: Connect the Bose Lifestyle 135 soundbar to the MC1 media center using an audio cable. Depending on the available ports on both the soundbar and media center, you might use an optical audio cable, coaxial audio cable, or another appropriate audio cable type.
   b. Subwoofer Connection: The Bose Lifestyle 135 subwoofer is a wireless subwoofer, which means it connects wirelessly to the media center. During the initial setup process, the subwoofer should automatically pair with the media center. Follow the instructions in the user manual to ensure proper pairing.
2. Speaker Setup:
   The Bose Lifestyle system, including the MC1 media center, typically uses Bose's ADAPTiQ audio calibration technology. This technology helps optimize the sound based on your room's acoustics and speaker placement. Run the ADAPTiQ calibration process as outlined in the user manual to ensure the best sound quality from your system.
3. Remote Control:
   Ensure that the remote control provided with the Bose MC1 media center is properly programmed to control both the media center and the soundbar. If needed, follow the instructions in the user manual to set up the remote control for seamless operation of all components.
4. Audio and Video Sources:
   Connect your audio and video sources (such as Blu-ray players, cable/satellite boxes, game consoles) to the appropriate inputs on the Bose MC1 media center. This allows you to route both audio and video signals through the media center and enjoy them with the soundbar and subwoofer.
5. Power On and Configuration:
   Power on the Bose MC1 media center and ensure that the soundbar and subwoofer are also powered on. Navigate through the media center's on-screen menus to configure the audio settings, input sources, and any other preferences.
6. Testing and Adjustment:
   Play different types of audio content to test the sound quality from the soundbar and subwoofer. Adjust the volume, bass, and other audio settings to your preference using the remote control and on-screen menus.

Remember to consult the user manuals for both the Bose MC1 media center and the Bose Lifestyle 135 soundbar for detailed setup instructions and troubleshooting tips. If you encounter any difficulties during the setup process, Bose customer support can also provide assistance.

How to Connect Soundbar to TV audio

I would think that the tv would automatically detect a cable being plugged in. It should only send sound to the soundbar once it is connected. Make sure the soundbar is on when you do your testing. You may have to change the audio settings on your tv in order to send audio to the soundbar.

make & model of soundbar? connect viewsonic 'audio out' (headphone jack) to soundbar input.

Be sure you have connected the audio OUT jacks from the TV to the audio IN jacks on the sound bar. People often connect them to the wrong jacks.

If you are connecting the soundbar to your TV with the digital audio cable, make sure to select "D IN" using the source button on the soundbar. Bluetooth (BT) is a separate source from another device. (phone, etc.) The TV will need to be set to use the digital audio output and probably PCM format. (?) The subwoofer is preconfigured at the factory to mate up with your soundbar. (See below instructions - your soundbar includes the amplifier:)

Digital audio output setting:
After connecting an amplifier with digital audio input and
external speakers as shown, you should set an audio
output format compatible with the programme you are
watching or the device connected.
Go to "HOME" > "TV Menu" > "Setup" > "Option" >
"Terminal setting" > "Digital audio output" > select
"PCM" or "Bitstream".
NOTE
• When set to "Bitstream", Dolby Digital is output when the Dolby
Digital or Dolby Digital Plus audio formats are received. When
set to "PCM", PCM is output no matter what audio formats are
received.
• When set to "Bitstream", HE-AAC audio formats can be output
as Dolby Digital.

Because your TV is not Bluetooth-enabled and you are trying to connect it to a Bluetooth-enabled soundbar via Bluetooth. There are other ways to connect your TV to the soundbar:

1. analog AUDIO OUT (L/R) of your TV to the AUX IN on the soundbar (use a 3.5 mm.-to-RCA audio cable).
2. Optical OUT on your TV to Optical IN on the soundbar.
3. HDMI port to HDMI port (this may not work if your TV is not ARC compliant you have to try).

You get better sound quality with option 2.or 3. (if this one works for your TV)

You'll need some sort of audio cable to connect the TV's sound or audio output to the soundbar. For the most basic connection, use an RCA-style cable ( like the one found here: http://goo.gl/5F8yLh ) to connect your TV's audio output to the soundbar's input. Most soundbars also have an SPDIF input ( like the one found here: http://goo.gl/2F2rKs ) and most modern TV's have an SPDIF output. Get an SPDIF optical digital audio cable to connect the two devices together. Once you've decided which type of connection to use and have connected the TV's audio output the soundbar, then make sure you select the proper input on the soundbar. That should fix your problem.

Typically you will connect the RCA audio output jacks to the audio input jacks on the sound bar, but if your television does not have RCA audio output, you may have to buy additional hardware to make the soundbar work. If your TV has a headphone jack, then you will need to purchase an 1/8" Headphone connector to RCA Connector cable from a local electronics or audio store. If your TV doens't have any audio outputs, you may need to purchase a digital tuner box and connect it to your TV and soundbar.
