Bose lifestyle 20 static

No, just connect the hdmi cable from the DVD to the TV and you will have volume on the TV.
The Bose lifestyle system may be ruined, try putting the DVD input into another connection CD Etc. if that doesn't work you'll have to replace the lifestyle component the subwoofer and speakers amy be good and can be re-used or sold. Check ebay sometimes people sell the just the lifestyle without speakers saving you some money.

Do the easy troubleshooting first! Get a source of clean, dry compressed air and blow out the inside works. Next, get some contact spray and spray into the volume control potentiometer and work it down and up.

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..

Hope it helped.

Thanks for using fixya..

If you still have the speakers that the TV came with hooked up try unhooking the wires to them I had the same problem and it fixed the problem, Good Luck!

A lifestyle 20 system is stereo only. Two channels. Left and right.

I had the same problem as this, but have lost my remote, so the system is know useles. Any way back to the point if you wiggle the cable around that goes in the speaker zone port then turn it off and back on then it should work :-D.

Sorry sp106s, you have to take that to bose service center.
Its a complicated problem. Something is wrong in the amplifier
section inside your sub box. Only authorize servicemen can
open it, not any tech'n can.

Good Luck

Tamar,
