Are Bose companion 2 speakers compatible with Xbox 360 using HDMI for video output?

I imagine that you are going to connect your Xbox 360 to a television. And considering the fact that you can connect companion 2 speakers to almost any television. For what I tried now, if your television has at least Jack output(1*) or Optical output (2*), you are good!
My anwser is YES!
2 Steps:
1) Your Xbox connected to your TV in HDMI:
This step is easy .. don't need to explain it.
2) Then your TV connected to Bose speakers:
For this step, you need to choose what output you want to use:
(1*) If you want to use the Jack output, you need to buy a "RCA males to Jack male" cable. You plug the RCA males at the back of your speakers and the Jack male in the Jack output or your television (often a headphone input).
(2*) If you to use the Optical output of your television, you need to buy a "Digital to Analog converter" (around $70 with Gefen brand). It will convert the Digital output (Optical) into a analog signal for your speakers. These converters rarely provide RCA cables(male/male) and Optical Cable(male/male). So you will have to buy them too.
It might seem an expensive solution, but it can save you if you already have good speakers and your tv doesn't provide Jack ouput.

How do you set up your playstation 3 to watch Blu-ray DVD's?
Ads describing features for the PS3 contain the following footnote: Video output in HD requires cables and an HD-compatible display, both sold separately. Full HD 1080p requires an HDMI cable and a 1080p native display with an HDMI input supporting HDCP. Copy-protected Blu-ray video discs can only output at 1080p using an HDMI cable connected to a device that is compatible with the HDCP standard. This means in order to set up your PS3 to play Blue Ray Discs you need a HDTV that gets 1080P and is able to be connected to the PS3 with a HDMI cable, or that the HDTV has an HDMI input and you have used it to connect it to the PS3.

Your actual speakers broke so you have no way of using your record player is there any way you can plug that into your laptop and use the computer speakers as your record players speakers?
Yes! there is, this is how, but first, what Audio Output do you have on the record player itself? Is it a single small input plug, or a white and red output plug?

My tv doesn't have any audio output jacks. Can you disconnect the wires going to the tv speakers and run them into your stereo audio inputs without creating to bad of an impedance mismatch?

How do I get the sound output from home theater while watching normal TV Is it possible to get the sound output from both at the same time. Ii tried using a 3.5 mm jack but it didn't help?
I can't help you with the connections with just the info provided but I can tell you that you should not have the TV's speakers on at the same time while listening to the sound system speakers. I would mute the TV's speakers (go to the audio menu and turn the internal speakers off) and always use the sound system speakers.

Will stock Bose speakers be ok with aftermarket headunit in 95 maxima?
Bose speakers are an excellent brand of speakers so just by the brand name I'd say yes. Just make the sure the speakers you're using can handle the power output from your aftermarket receiver. For example, say your unit puts out 4 channels of sound (4 speakers) at 50 watts each, make sure the speakers meet or exceed that output. It is preferred that for any power output you increase the wattage by at least 25-50 watts, preferably 50, but don't go higher than 100 watts above output. What this means that if you are putting out 4 channels of sound for 50 watts each, make sure the speakers are at least 75-100 watts. This way you don't blow them by running too much power nor will you ruin them by giving them too little power. (if you put 150 watt speskers in for example).
Do you have to have a hdtv to play Blu-ray on your PS3?
Sony says it requires both a HDTV and a HDMI cable. to quote them: "Copy-protected Blu-ray video discs can only output at 1080p using an HDMI cable connected to a device that is compatible with the HDCP standard. If a device that is not compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) standard is connected to the system using an HDMI cable, video and/or audio cannot be output from the system."
Why output devices are required?
A display device such as a screen or monitor is an output device. Right from here we can already say that a display device is required to be able to visibly know what we are doing on a computer. (Even if you have a remote connection to that device you will be using a display device to view the contents of the remote device using another computers monitor.)Printers and speakers are examples of output devices. Printers are required to receive hard copies of information and Speakers are audio devices that are required to hear audible files.In short, without output devices will would not be able to view, hear, or hold data from a device.
How can you connect headphones to a television without headphones output?
Well it must have some kind of sound output to speakers, they'll work fine in there, or if you use any kind of satellite box try using it with that,
Why can't get any sound as TV is hooked up to a receiver?
Assuming you are connected to the audio output connectors on the TV, you might have to turn up the volume of the TV to get any audio to appear at the output connectors. If it is a high end set, go into the audio menu and switch the audio output to FIXED. This will give you full level audio at the connectors and then turn down the sound from the TV speakers. Don't use the internal speakers when using the sound system.
