Can I just buy the Console (with power and remote)? Since I am in Hong Kong, it would be best for me not to ship heavy speakers. Thank you.

I don't know if Bose sells the Console separately. I doubt it. You'll need to contact Bose to get an answer. The speakers are very light weight; the bass module is the heaviest. Check out the shipping costs with Bose.

The console is connected to the heavy subwoofer box which is connecting the 5 speakers. Therefore the console alone will not workYou can possibly buy the bose subwoofer locally. The 5 jewel cube speakers are very small and light though .

If you are shipping or bringing it overseas, to keep it from being damaged and in the original box it is fairly large. A little longer than the sound bar and as wide as the sub. Check the specs to get a better idea. Good Luck

Yes. Return the whole set. It only gets worse. We had the system for a week and it happened and the one speaker quit working completely so we returned it. We bought a Sony set and have been really happy with it.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews.

I do think so. If you mean play a console then yes. I use the HD audio for surround and if the base wasn't so damned cheap it would be decent.

You could get a SCART audio extractor that lets you input audio, or you could modify the cable to support audio. What console are you using?

I do believe that, considering this unit has been discontinue by manufacture (despite it's continuous popularity) you can only purchase the remote (separate) from someone offering this systems components - individually. However, I would like to provide further assistance and help you acquire this item if by the time you will receive this reply it will still be needed - and if true please let me know, and I will contact Amazon and seek their advise on what would be the proper way and under what listing (if possible) could I offer the remote only (listing it) so you may be able to purchase it ( I have a few in stock). Please just let me know and I will offer as much help as possible towards providing a pleasing outcome. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend Alina C.

Hope I can help. Our son really enjoyed this toy when he was younger. He turns 11 tomorrow, and hasn't played with it in a while. His mom moved out almost three years ago, and his things get moved back and forth. I have the controller, but the console (pretty sure) is at his mom's who's out of town for the next couple of days. Going on memory, there were two outlets on the back of the console, one for the power cord, and one to attach to the television. Given the age of this toy, it very likely was a coax connection into the antenna slot on the TV. If that's the case, should be easy and cheap to buy a coax cable. If it's something different, you may want to contact VTech to see if you can get a replacement connection cable. The first controllers were actually wired into the front of the console. Newer controllers can run remotely - a nice feature, since you can get a little distance from the unit and TV. If there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to give me a call at 919/526-2271. Good luck. Malcolm

I agree with Kanagaraj. What I do is have the console set up as normal. The speakers are connected to the tv audio output. Turn the tv volume down and just use the speaker volume. It's what I do when I watch movies on my PS3 and it sounds great. Hope this helps!

Thanks,I called to Sony to get my setup mike replaced and while at it, I asked about this. He gave the same explanation. Putting 4.5 in Bluray today. Nice toys !

Buy a vintage stereo receiver with a headphone jack and phono input. Preferably a mid to late 1970's model or very early 80's. Look for a ~30W Pioneer, Kenwood, Onkyo, HK, Toshiba, Sony. Should be able to find one on Craigslist for $0-$150. These things were constructed very well, it was the heyday of audio gear. Nothing like the throwaway Chinese junk made today. Pioneer's SX series is very abundant and priced pretty reasonably.

I bought the Sony off their website today. Frankly I would have purchased whichever one was available first. I paid for the express shipping so I should have it by next Tuesday and leave next Thursday. That was close, but it will be good to have on hand. Thanks for all the opinions and information, I appreciate it.

One would assume that it may? I think that most of the time manufacturing is generally the same i would suppose. But if there are different setups im not sure. Most of the time Operating systems are the same for consoles but i could be wrong. Im sure Amazon allows returns but I am unsure of the policy for opened games. All else i would guess you may may need a singapore vers to be safe? Not 100%.
