My bose cinemate 1 sr has a flashing red light and no sound. does not change to green light with sound.
This is a powered sub-woofer, with a complementary sound bar. The amplifier for the sub and the sound bar, are in the sub cabinet. Because there are multiple speakers in the sound bar and sub, there are multiple amplifiers to run them. If any, or all of the amplifiers are damaged, they generally have a condition known as DC Offset. There are sensor transistors on each of these amplifiers, which will "report" a damaged amplifier condition back to a microprocessor(computer inside the Bose system). When this damaged condition is identified, the amplifier will shut down the system, and that red indicator will flash. You will need a professional, audio specific technician, as this is not a DIY repair.
If any of you are interested in having your systems repaired, please contact me from my website, audioserviceclinic.com. Just FYI, this is not a Bose specific issue. The same problem can occur with any amplifier, any brand. Thank you.
