Check the remote control for its infrared emission. Check it with fresh batteries. Check it battery contacts, inside its battery compartment for any rust or dust accumulated, which prevents the electrical contacts. If all are found OK, you remote control need cleaning. To clean it, you have to open it. If you wish to know more details about how to clean and check a remote control, check this link.

Replace its batteries with fresh ones and check. Check the battery contacts inside the battery compartment for any rust or dust accumulated. Clean the battery contacts, before replacing batteries. If it do not help you, you have to check its infrared emission. Check this link to know more about how to check and clean a remote control. Follow the instructions there to clean the circuit board to your remote control.

Roku 1 not working with remote

Check the condition of the battery in the remote. If no good, replace.

Reboot the Roku by disconnecting from power supply, wait a few seconds and re plug unit. Should work then since I have had my Roku lock up like this on 2 occasions.

If neither solution does the trick you just hope unit is still under warranty.

Remote rc25 not working

Check its infrared emission first. As it is new, the only possibility is with the failure of infrared LED inside it. If you wish to get more details about how to check a remote control, check this link, and pull up older posts there.

If your system is plugged into a surge protecter, the Bose service guy told me that sometimes the Bose system detects a surge and automatically shuts down. Unplug the system for 5 minutes and then plug back in. This works because it happened to my system. I called Bose and this is what I was told. It worked!

Rc-9 remote only works if within 2 feet of bose lifestyle 12

Replace its infrared emission LED. It is weak, and so the signal out from the remote control too.

My remote will not cut on my Bose Cinemate system. I have changed the batteries in my remote and the red light on the receiver is illuminated, so I know the system is operational, . I've also unplugged...

It seems to be a common misconception that the remote is necessary to turn a device on. All devices have hard-wired power controls. Does THAT work? It is unclear which device (remote or the Cinemate) is malfunctioning. If the Cinemate won't turn on by its own power switch the remote won't magically bypass whatever the problem is.

The Cinemate Manual offers some steps to take if it won't turn on, as well as other guidance.
