Hi Severin, Making a digital optical connection: Some optical cables come with a protective cover. Make sure to remove this cover before making your connections.
On the back or your audio device, insert one end of the optical cable into the "Optical Out" or "Digital Audio" output Insert the other end of the optical cable into the Optical IN jack on the Bose media center. This is the optical input on the left Turn on your TV and choose the correct input to see the Bose system menu on your TV screen. You will need to have a video cable connected from the Bose system to the TV in order to proceed. On the remote, press System. The Bose display should read "SYSTEM: SEE TV." Your TV screen should look like this: <http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/article_146_connecting_an_audio_device/page.html> Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > On 17 Aug 2016, at 10:57 PM, Severin Crisp <[email protected]> wrote: > > I do not have digital coax.
