How do you hook up a bose pc speaker to your tv?

Question

headphone jacks to tv and usb to tv setups

Answer 1

 The Bose pc speakers give a much better sound quality than the TV's built in speakers. You might be able to connect the TV set itself directly to the speakers, but you usually need a certain size set to do that. You can connect the speakers through the TV`s headphone socket if it has one, but if it is a mono TV you will get sound only through the left channel. In this case you need to make the connection through a stereo synthesizer.

If your TV has no headphone socket but it has a red and white RCA output, you need to do the following to make the speakers work:

• Connect the stereo jack to 2 RCA plugs into TV audio outputs which are red and white in color.

• Connect a radio shack to 1/4 Mono Phone Plug into the end of the Bose pc speaker wire.

• Connect bose pc speaker plug into the 1/4 Radio Shack plug

Answer 2

Computer speakers have a 1/8-inch male plug that contains the connections for both right- and left-channel signals. TVs and home entertainment devices use RCA connections, which provide a separate jack for each audio channel.

You'll need one adapter for each 1/-inch plug that your speakers have. Most speaker systems will have one of these plugs for every two speakers. For example, a six-speaker surround-sound system will have 3 1/8-inch plugs and will require 3 adapters.

Locate the speakers in a convenient location. Connect the audio cable of the speakers to the output on the back of the TV or home theater system. Use the 1/8-inch to RCA audio adapters when needed. One RCA connector will be red, and the other one will be either white or black. When plugging them into the system's audio output, make sure to match the colors properly. This will ensure each audio signal is sent to the proper speaker. Turn both the speakers and the TV on. Depending on your TV, its integrated volume control may control the speakers. If not, you'll have to manually adjust the volume control on the speakers as needed.
