I have a BOSE 3-2-1 GSX DVD Home Entertainment System. I have a working VCR in the AUX ports of the Bose. To add a Blu Ray player, can I use 'Y' connectors from the Bose AUX ports to both the VCR and Blu Ray? THX Ken

It sounds like there may be a compatibility issue between your Bose Lifestyle V30 home theater system and the Sony Blu-ray player when switching to the DVD input. The change from PCM 2.0 to AAC audio format might be causing the loss of sound. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: Check Blu-ray Player Audio Settings: Access the audio settings on your Sony Blu-ray player and ensure it is set to output PCM audio (if available). Some Blu-ray players have options to change the audio output format. Setting it to PCM 2.0 might help maintain audio compatibility with your Bose system. Check Bose System Settings: Review the audio settings on your Bose Lifestyle V30 system related to the DVD input. Make sure it is configured to accept PCM audio. Refer to the Bose user manual for instructions on how to access and adjust the audio settings. Firmware Updates: Check if there are any firmware updates available for both the Sony Blu-ray player and the Bose Lifestyle V30 system. Manufacturers often release updates to address compatibility issues and improve overall performance. Reset Bose System: Try performing a factory reset on your Bose Lifestyle V30. This can sometimes clear any configuration issues that may have arisen. Test Different Audio Inputs: Check if the issue persists when connecting the Blu-ray player to a different audio input on your Bose system (e.g., AUX, HDMI, etc.). This will help determine if the problem is specific to the DVD input or if it affects multiple inputs. Alternate Audio Connection: If possible, try using a different audio connection between the Blu-ray player and the Bose system. For example, if you are using HDMI, try using optical or analog audio cables (and vice versa). Contact Bose Support: If the issue persist

check that the input source it set to aux on the bose. to check it is on turn the volume up a bit and touch the contact end where you plug into the source. it should gently hum when you touch the connectors then you know that the input is live on the bose. i take it you have it switched on lol

No, flushing anything hi-def through a VCR is counter-prooductive and could lose the definition you paid for.

but some assumptions are necessary because you don't provide the details regarding the audio capabilities of your HDTV and BluRay player.

Run the Bose and the Bluray

hi,
u have to change the digital out setting of ur blueray player. change the audio output priority from HDMI to optical coaxial. surely u will get audio from bose.
ok

need replaced laser pick up

hook up computer straight to t.v with hdmi cable. then get two aux cables (usually red and white) and run them straight from tv audio OUTPUT to audio INPUT on bose system. them anytime you want surround sound even when your watching tv just press the aux button on the bose system controller. should be perfect.

Sounds like you might be out of luck with the older 3-2-1 system. I am in the same boat, and am thinking I will only be able to utilize the "audio out" on the back of my Samsung LCD, and run that to the "aux in" on the Bose 3-2-1. This of course will not allow me to utilize the 3-2-1's DVD player, but by using a seperate DVD player, such as a Blu-Ray hooked to the LDC TV, the video will make it to the screen, and then the audio should make it through the Bose 3-2-1 speakers. Probably not the "best" solution, but one that I am going to attempt.

make sure it's compatable with the system, there are many different formatted discs out now and all are not working well, it's not by chance a blu ray disc is it?

hi there,

1-connect the blu-ray to your tv via hdmi cable and this will run picture.

2-connect the blu-ray via digital optical cable to the optical input on the bose system. then using your bose menu, (system menu)set your auxillary sound output to digital optical.

when watching dvd thru bluray player select aux on the bose and you're away.

good luck

Connect an HDMI cord from the bluray player to a free input on your HDTV. Then connect the standard WHITE/RED stereo cable from the bluray player into the AUX input in the back of your 3-2-1 system and voila!

You may need to check the configuration of your bluray player to make sure that is outputting stereo audio, for this please refer to the player's user manual. Other than that, you should be alright.
