To connect a device to your Bose system using a digital optical cable, follow these simple steps. Based on the provided information, the primary method involves connecting the cable between your device and the Bose system console.
Connecting your optical cable is a straightforward process that allows digital audio transmission, often resulting in higher fidelity sound compared to analog connections.
Connecting Your Device via Optical Cable
The fundamental steps for establishing an optical connection between your device (like a TV, Blu-ray player, or gaming console) and your Bose system console are as follows:
- Connect the Optical Cable: Take one end of the digital optical cable and connect it to the optical jack on your external device. This jack is typically labeled "Optical Out" or "Digital Audio Out (Optical)".
- Connect to Bose System: Take the other end of the optical cable and connect it to the Optical IN jack on your Bose system console.
- Secure the Connection: Ensure both ends of the cable are firmly plugged in. Optical cables often have protective caps on the ends; remember to remove these before connecting.
Important Tip for Audio Output
Once the physical connection is made, you might not hear sound immediately. According to the guidance, a crucial step could be required:
- Enable Optical Audio: You might need to access the menu of the connected device (e.g., your TV's audio settings) and enable optical audio output. Look for audio settings that allow you to select the digital output format or specify the output device.
Following these steps should allow your Bose system to receive audio digitally from your connected device.
