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. For good range, it is VERY important that you extend this cord to its full length and keep it away from other system cables. Note: Also, when using a plasma screen TV, keeping the media center power supply as far from the TV as is practical ensures better remote range. If your system does not respond when you press a button on the remote, it could be time to change batteries. For information on the type of batteries to use and how to change them, refer to "Replacing the remote control batteries" on page 38. 10 English Español Français SYSTEM CONTROLS 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. SYSTEM CONTROLS Media center The disc tray and system controls are located under the front panel door of the media center. To the right of the system controls is the display window (Figure 1). CAUTION: Pressing the Open/Close button on the media center is the best way to open and retract the disc tray. DO NOT press on the tray to make it retract or exert pressure on the front of the tray while it is moving. Doing so can cause the disc player to malfunction. An IR (infrared) signal emitter, located under the disc tray, enables you to control other components using the LIFESTYLE® remote. Avoid blocking this emitter, so its signal will have a clear path to other components or reflective surfaces in the room.

Choosing a primary channel selector for all of the video components is a way to further simplify your control. CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES Designating a primary channel selector By choosing one of your connected components as the primary channel selector, you can use the remote to control the video source, even when another source is currently selected. For example, if your TV is the selected source, you can quickly change the CBL/SAT station you are watching on TV without first switching to CBL/SAT as the source. Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE® System menu, refer to "Properties that you can adjust" on page 25. Make your selection from the Remote Control options in the System menu. Opposite the TV Tuner option, select from the components listed the one you want to use as channel selector. Then press System or Exit to leave the menu. Figure 5 Designating the TV as channel selector (TV Tuner) navigate select Setting the remote to control each component Your LIFESTYLE® system includes an IR (infrared) emitter that sends out signals from the front of the media 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. Note: If a component is located where it cannot receive these IR signals, you can use the supplied IR emitter cable with that component. For tips on getting the IR signals where they need to go, or using the optional emitter, see "Connecting the optional IR emitter cable" in your Installation Guide. 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. 19 Français CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOURCES For TV control Español English Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE® System menu, refer to "Using System Menus" on page 25.
