Installed client's equipment last night and the new Bose T20 does video switching with upconversion to 1080p through the HDMI out. Used client supplied etech 12 ft HDMI (X2 just in case) and both cables tested connected direct to Sammy 3D Bluray and picture displays 2D and 3D on 64 inch Sammy plasma.

Used composite, component inputs on Bose and no problem with T20 upconverting picture to 1080p to plasma. Connected Bluray Sammy and Bose gave me "change settings on DVD" or something like that and no picture.

The Bose T20 had a USB flash drive included in the box so I assume there is a firmware update available but ran out of time to finish testing along those lines.

Today I am going back to tidy up install and try power cyclining Bose and Sammy DVD and attempt playing 2D bluray, then 3D and if I get error then use USB drive supplied wih Bose to update T20 firmware.

Anyone ever experience this issue?

TIA

bose blose, they need to sub out the hdmi because they really really REALLY suck in that department. Run the firmware, make sure you download the latest and allow close to 45 minutes from download to finish.

Bose cannot for the life of them get HDMI to work 100% (not that many manufactures can but bose is by far the worst)

Are you a dealer?

We just did a house with three T20 systems. Wherever they bought them from also sold them a 3D bluray player and 3D TV for the bedroom. They included a nice hand-drawn picture of the Blu-Ray player connected straight to the TV with HDMI and to the Bose system with an optical cable... :)

Oh, and we had a guy who returned an entire INSTALLED V35 system with an additional room of speakers because Bose specifically told him 3D would work with it. We installed a whole new system in that room and apparently Bose came out, took all the equipment back, and wrote him a check for the full amount he spent.

No. I got called to install the customer's own equipment and of course easy money turns out not so easy :(

Bose tech support suggested I use and HDMI splitter. The Bose stores sell a Monoprice piece to split to TV and to T20 to process audio. What a cluster. Bose allegedly has a firmware update coming in July to fix--yeah, right.

Yeah, that is HILARIOUS! The V-1 had crappy picture quality, the V-2 barely worked. Every Bose system we did, all the video went direct to the TV with fiber or dcoax for audio with sometimes a standalone video switch.

you can do that but since the Bose doesn't have an indicator you have to use prior picture out of Bose to confirm Bluray sound and then switch TV to HDMI for Bluray. What a croc!
