Will I be able to control the bose system I have hooked uo with the RC71?

Hi, You have a Bose Home Theater System hooked up to your television and I'm wondering if you're controlling the volume through the Bose Home Theater System or the television because both have a volume control and if you have the television volume turned down and you're using the Bose Home Theater System for volume or visa-versa then you're not going to get a decent sound. I hope you know what I mean...... CHEERS..

how do you program a rc71 to a tv. Not to a rvu but to a tv so the volume works and can power on and off tv please help.

O assume you are wanting to add a sub as bose systems are already amplified. The short answer is ues, however most bose systems require special interface harnesses and may require complex wiring. This is best left to a qualified mobile electronics shop.

The code for the Direct TV remote is 31933. It doesn't work with the new RC71 remote (Direct TV limitation with that remote), but it does with the remotes that have AV1 and AV2 options.

The manual for the series 2 is available at Bose.com

Yes. In the back of the Bose there are Aux ports with RCA Phono jacks. You can get a 1/8" stereo male plug to 2 RCA male phono plugs at any Radio Shack and other places. It's about $6.

There has to be some amplification in here somewhere. Any single amplifier will not work correctly with the Active EQ for 901's applied to non-901 speakers.

Any MP3-player device with at least a headphone output can feed any standard audio device that has a Line Level input (other than "PHONO") once the output is adapted to fit the input.

hook up computer straight to t.v with hdmi cable. then get two aux cables (usually red and white) and run them straight from tv audio OUTPUT to audio INPUT on bose system. them anytime you want surround sound even when your watching tv just press the aux button on the bose system controller. should be perfect.

Hi.

The system may have gone on protect mode after detecting a problem.

Try disconnecting the power cord from both subwoofer/amp (Acoustimass), and from main control unit.

While the two units are disconnected, check the control cable from main unit to subvoofer, and check all the speakers connections.

Leave system disconnected for about fifteen minutes, then connect back first control cable, then power to Acoustimass (keep it off) and finally, power to control unit. Turn everything on and see if the system is starting.

If the system is still not starting, then there is an internal fault. In that case call Bose at the number listed on the owners manual.

Regards.

If the system doesn't have controls labeled "bass" and "treble" - or if there are no clever presets like "Hall", "Theater", etc., then you'll have to adjust these parameters before the signal reaches the speakers. One way is to purchase a graphic equalizer to hook between the speakers and the signal source. A graphic equalizer a basically a tone control, with the spectrum divided into 10 or more "slices" instead of 2 (bass and treble). Consider the sliders on the left as "bass", and the ones on the right as "treble". If you're using these speakers for a computer, some sound card software has these controls buried beneath a few menus - but sometimes not. The easiest solution is to buy an equalizer and hook it between the signal source and speakers. Bose is typically "audiophile" equipment, and many audiophiles don't want tone controls (thus the extra electronic processing required) to contaminate the signal. Obviously, most systems do need to offer some control to the user, as you've discovered!
