I have a Bose lifestyle 38 and whenever I watch a show with a lot of background sound - ie music in a movie or crowds cheering for sports, it overwhelms the voices of the actors or the sports casters. How can I adjust the sound to even it out and make the voices audible? Thanks!

I have a lifestyle 28 and when my crowd noise gets too loud, well that sound usually is coming from the back speakers and speech comes from the front. I have to go into settings, located on the front of my remote and then standing right in front of my lifestyle unit , read it until you get to the speaker readings and either turn up your front speakers or turn down your rear speakers just a little.

What makes background sound comes out from Bose lifestyle 38 system is because there is jack cable or a cable that has a jack mouth that brings out a mono sound is being inserted..

Mono cables, when inserted inside a wrong input,it's makes the sound comes out with a background noise just like the one you can hear from it now..it seems as if you are not using the right cable for connection..

To resolve these issue, you will need to use the right cable for connection, by doing these,you will get a clearer sound from you Bose lifestyle 38..

Also it can be from the settings inside the Bose lifestyle 38...So you will need to check both sides to resolve this issue..

You will need to use the manual to know the right cable and the right setting for clear volume..
