Apple TV and Bose Home Theater

How should I connect my Apple TV to my Bose Lifestyle V30 Home  Theater? The Bose AUX input does not have an HDMI connection, so I tried the component connection, but get no video input. Tried using HDMI and the DVD input, but no video from Apple TV on this  connection either.

    When I plug HDMI from atv into the VCR port on my Bose VS-2, the receiver tells me "no video input." what can I do?

    Hi There,  No luck in connecting Apple TV to HDMI. I have to use the Bose v30 only for audio (AUX) and connected the Apple tv to another HDMI directly on the TV

You should be able to connect hdmi from apple tv to bose v30 for picture and sound. You can also run component video to bose and a hdmi out of bose to tv. Just make sure your running hdmi out of bose system to tv if your tv supports hdmi if not use component video cable. Another way which isn't as good of quality is to run fiber optic from apple tv to bose v30 and hdmi straight to tv.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/brandon_60dfebff379d64bd

    also when you connect hdmi cable to apple tv you might have to reboot apple tv by unplugging power to it for a few seconds and then plugging power back up while hdmi cable is hooked up.

I had the same problem.
I could not get HDMI to HDMI to work.

i fixed it (work around), by connecting ATV HDMI to DVD HDMI port on V30, i then connect L&R to AUX.  I set the Bose remote for controlling ATV to AUX. 
so to use ATV with Bose remote i know press DVD, this gives me the correct display but not audio, i then press AUX and this gives me ATV control and audio.


interesting, when i first set this up (trial and error), it didn't work.  I was doing some cable management clean up, when i got a fright and the thing started working...but i have a ghost in my house so that is probably a more plausible reason why its working now.
it feels like this product is only 90% finished

Bose Lifestyle v30 home theater connected to a Sony Blu-ray player - lately when I switch to DVD, the Bose system switches from PCM 2.0 to AAC and kills the sound. Help!

It sounds like there may be a compatibility issue between your Bose Lifestyle V30 home theater system and the Sony Blu-ray player when switching to the DVD input. The change from PCM 2.0 to AAC audio format might be causing the loss of sound. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: Check Blu-ray Player Audio Settings: Access the audio settings on your Sony Blu-ray player and ensure it is set to output PCM audio (if available). Some Blu-ray players have options to change the audio output format. Setting it to PCM 2.0 might help maintain audio compatibility with your Bose system. Check Bose System Settings: Review the audio settings on your Bose Lifestyle V30 system related to the DVD input. Make sure it is configured to accept PCM audio. Refer to the Bose user manual for instructions on how to access and adjust the audio settings. Firmware Updates: Check if there are any firmware updates available for both the Sony Blu-ray player and the Bose Lifestyle V30 system. Manufacturers often release updates to address compatibility issues and improve overall performance. Reset Bose System: Try performing a factory reset on your Bose Lifestyle V30. This can sometimes clear any configuration issues that may have arisen. Test Different Audio Inputs: Check if the issue persists when connecting the Blu-ray player to a different audio input on your Bose system (e.g., AUX, HDMI, etc.). This will help determine if the problem is specific to the DVD input or if it affects multiple inputs. Alternate Audio Connection: If possible, try using a different audio connection between the Blu-ray player and the Bose system. For example, if you are using HDMI, try using optical or analog audio cables (and vice versa). Contact Bose Support: If the issue persist

Manufacturers frequently release updates to address compatibility issues and improve overall performance. Reset Bose System: Try performing a factory reset on your Bose Lifestyle V30. Sometimes this can cause scheduling issues. Test audio inputs: Check if the problem persists when connecting the Blu-ray player to a different audio input (e.g., AUX, HDMI, etc.) on your Bose system This may indicate whether the problem is specific to the DVD input or affects multiple inputs It will help determine whether. Extra audio connection: If possible, try to use an extra audio connection between the Blu-ray player and the Bose system. For example, if you use HDMI, try using optical or analog audio cables (and vice versa). Contact Bose Support : If the issue persists

No video at all!

I recommend you switch from using HDMI cables to using component (R/G/B RCA-style) cables. HD picture is superior through component cabling, and solves several HD picture issues, including HDCP (High Def Copy Protection) through HDMI issue. Component cabling should eliminate this problem.

I hope that helps.

I have installed the v30 bose lifestyle system but I can not get any video output on my Samsung led tv. I have tried the hdmi cable and the component cable. It both doesn't work.please help me with this

I recommend you stick with component cabling.

Having no picture at all generally suggests the V30 is trying a video mode your TV does not support:

  1. video type (PAL or NTSC)
  2. Progressive scan
  3. an HD resolution beyond your TV's range.
I hope that helps.

Have audio through TV can't get audio through Bose

It sounds like your signal path from the dvd is going through your TV, rather than through your Bose V30. Either find an audio out port on your TV and route it back to an aux in on the V30, or, preferably, run your DVR and your DVD to the V30, and then from the V30 to your TV.

I hope that helps.

Flashing / ghosting with Bose Lifestyle V30

I recommend you switch from using HDMI cables to using component (R/G/B RCA-style) cables. HD picture is superior through component cabling, and solves several HD picture issues. Component cabling from your devices should eliminate your problems.
