Getting strong remote control range and response The cord that connects the power supply to the media center contains an antenna for your RF remote.

If your system does not respond when you press a button on the remote, it could be time to change the batteries. For information on the type of batteries to use and how to change them, refer to "Replacing the remote control batteries" on page 40. In some buildings, there may be "dead spots" where remote control signals are not effective. If this happens, move the remote a foot or two and try again. Also make sure the cord that connects the power supply to the media center (and contains the remote antenna) is stretched to its full length and is separated from other power cords. If this does not help, move the media center a few feet to see if a new location provides better response. If the batteries are not dead and your efforts to avoid dead spots are in vain, you may need an antenna extender. To contact Bose for more information, or to order the extender, refer to the address list included with the system. 11 !!

English Dansk Deutsch Español Français Italiano Nederlands Svenska CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES Using your LIFESTYLE! remote with other components You can control most brands of external components ­ such as TVs, cable/satellite boxes, and VCR/DVRs ­ using your LIFESTYLE® remote control. After you make the proper menu selections for each component you want to control, the LIFESTYLE® remote serves as a universal remote for most of your component operations. CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES Setting the remote to control each component Your LIFESTYLE® system includes an IR (infrared) emitter that sends out signals from the front of the music center to each component that your LIFESTYLE® remote is set to control. This allows you to turn on those sources (which are in the room with the media center) and make basic selections from them. The additional components may be connected either to the media center or to the TV. It may take more than one try Some manufacturers use a number of similar device codes. After selecting one code, your remote may turn your TV, cable or satellite box, or VCR on and off successfully. However, if you cannot change channels or initiate other features using the remote, you may want to continue testing device codes until you find one that provides greater control. After trying a few codes, if your component still does not respond, slightly adjust the position of the component in relationship to the media center. This may better enable the signal from the media center to reach the component. Note: IR signals must reach each component for a reliable test of the IR code settings. A good way to succeed is by using the supplied IR emitter cable, positioning it in front of each component as you use the LIFESTYLE® remote to turn it on and off. If you have not yet installed the emitter, see "IR emitter cable as an option" in your Installation Guide. For TV control Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE® System menu, refer to "Using System Menus" on page 27. Use the TV remote to turn on the TV.
