What kind of cable do I need for Bose lifestyle 12?
Issue is that Bose Lifestyle 12 only takes Analog (L/R) input and TV only has digital audio (optical) cable output and HDMI (ARC) cable input. Is there a way to hook the Bose system up with one of those audio converter adaptors or thru alternate device like blu-ray player? Or am I stuck? You need a digital to analog converter.
Which is the lifestyle 535 or 525 series?

Can a Bose lifestyle 12 surround sound system work on a Samsung TV?
I just purchased a Samsung UN65MU6300 TV and I’d like to use my old Bose Lifestyle 12 surround sound system for external audio as it’s still running strong. Issue is that Bose Lifestyle 12 only takes Analog (L/R) input and TV only has digital audio (optical) cable output and HDMI (ARC) cable input.

When did the Bose lifestyle 12 series 2 come out?
In 1999, the “Lifestyle 12 Series II” models added a coaxial S/PDIF input. The first products to include a DVD player were the “Lifestyle 28” and “Lifestyle 35” models, which were released in 2001. The Series II versions of these products, released in 2004, used a “BoseLink” audio output instead of the previous “Zone 2” RCA outputs.
