To connect a device that does not have an analog RCA or digital audio output:
If the TV or device you are trying to connect does not have an audio output connection, look for a headphone jack. If available, use a 3.5 mm stereo-to-dual RCA adapter cable to connect the device headphone jack to your Bose system.
If the device does not have a headphone jack either, it cannot send audio to another system—like your Bose system. In this case, connect the output of the audio source (i.e. the cable box or DVD player) to the Bose system. (Note: If there is more than one audio source, an audio selector box can be added to switch between sources).
