don't think so, bose are an elite brand and they don't consider the bose sounddock to have any use other than ipod or iphone, The 3.5mm input is analog only and in this day and age is a massive step down as digital sound is the way forward, they even claim themselves that the sounddock is only really to be used with your ipod so you know what to do... rush out and buy one of bose's other products that is geared towards what you want in this scenario, sure what are you thinking anyway, why would you want to use it for more than 1 use, it's only $400...

I can't think of any reason why it can't fit in any place other than the TV. The connection I used was the optical cable that appeared to be a couple feet long. As long as you can connect the optical cable or other cables of the Bose to the TV. It should work fine. It appears that where you put the unit in the room will affect the sound. As I indicated, we put ours in a corner which emphasized the base. Move it where you want it and see how it sounds. We're happy with the Bose Solo now that we could reduce the base. I hope that this helps. Art

Yes, provided the cable box has a 3.5mm output. To use the RCA output connections (red/white) you would need an adapter. In either case, more than likely you would need to turn the dial, rather than use the remote to adjust volume.There is a bit more fullness compared to thin TV's sound, but not enough, in my option, to warrant the high Bose price. That is my biggest beef with this product--high price for little benefit.Good Luck

Mike, If your Bose speakers do not have a Toslink connector part no. 27015 will not work. Most new TV's and high quality speakers include a toshlink connection. I suggest calling Bose and confirm which cable you need. My best guess without knowing your Bose part no. would be you an audio cable like the C2G part no. 40411.

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

Bose is a different beast to the rest of the audio world!90% of the time you have to use Bose stuff to work with Bose stuff.I suggest you contact the manufacturing people of the devices ans see what they say...sorry

Are you sure this is the signal flow HDMI to RCA in my case it was RCA to HDMI signal Flow the opposite way because a bose system has a rca plug then you need a RCA to HDMI signal into the TV

Bob, the best advice to you is to give it a try. It may work or it may not. I've recently talked to Bose rep, she explained to me that some of their devices that makes the connections to iPod, iPad, iPhone often go bad.

Sassy, we have the speakers connected to the Samsung TV. Our Bose is also connected to the TV. If you have a plug on the Bose to plug in the speaker 'adapter' then this will work on the Bose.

It works with any bose sounddock that has the same conection for and i pod, because instead you conect the bose you conect the teku one. Good and clear signal. Works great and cheaper than the bose one

From the Bose web page: *Designed for use with your stereo or home theater receiverSo--yes, you do... unless...Of course, your flat screen output might have enough wattage to drive acceptable sound from your Bose speakers, but it's likely that you won't have enough volume without annoying levels of noise from the low-powered amp in your flat panel's audio wiring. If your TV has outputs for "external speaker" you might make those work to drive the Bose. With just a "line out" or "audio out" jack you may get some sound, but you probably need an amplifier or receiver to be happy. Good news--those are incredibly cheap used these days in the homes of baby boomers everywhere and your local Goodwill...

My older SoundDock has an input on the back just above the power cord input. I've used it to hook iPhones, iPods and Sony MP3 players. I've even hooked a cable from my TV and/or computer and run it thru my SoundDock. I don't see why you couldn't hook it to your iPad.

What 2 channel types do you have? I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.
