Hi,
I have a Bose 3-2-1 system and I want to connect it to a Samsung LCD monitor. The video output choices on the Bose are S-Video, Composite Video and Component Video. I have chosen to use Component Video.
The input choices on the Ssmsung monitor are VGA, HDMI and DVI-D.
The first connection I attempted was using a cable that had component video connections at one end and VGA at the other. It didn't work at all. I know the monitor VGA port is working, as I have successfully connected two computers using a VGA cable.
The second connection I attempted was a component video cable connected from the Bose to a signal converter, which reportedly converts from component video to HDMI to enable older analogue components to home theatre systems. I then connected an HDMI cable from the signal converter to the HDMI port on the monitor. A message is displayed on the monitor, telling me the resolution is not optimal. No DVD output makes it on to the screen and the Bose on-screen menu does not appear on the screen, so I can't check or change any of the Bose dispaly settings.
Any advice on how to get this combination working would be gratefully received.
Thankyou.
Sounds like you might be out of luck with the older 3-2-1 system. I am in the same boat, and am thinking I will only be able to utilize the "audio out" on the back of my Samsung LCD, and run that to the "aux in" on the Bose 3-2-1. This of course will not allow me to utilize the 3-2-1's DVD player, but by using a seperate DVD player, such as a Blu-Ray hooked to the LDC TV, the video will make it to the screen, and then the audio should make it through the Bose 3-2-1 speakers. Probably not the "best" solution, but one that I am going to attempt.
