Hi everyone. I bought a Bose at a thrift store and just FYI Bose has free support. (800) 367-4008

I have an old, Bose Lifestyle 5. Everything works fine except for the remote, which appears dead? I would like to know what the factory settings are for the RC-9 remote because they have been tampered with. Does it matter if the settings aren't original, as they can be reset per the manual, pgs. 17 and 19 (2001).Thanks for your help. I 'd rather not purchase a replacement if this issue can be solved.Best,Susan

I bought this HWF355 to use with my Samsung 65" 6350 serie smart TV. I can verify that the TV remote will NOT work this soundbar. The soundbar remote will work the TV, but not vice versa. I used a digital audio cable, so the soundbar does power on and off with the TV, but you CANNOT control the soundbar's volume with the TV remote. It took me 40 minutes on the Samsung helpline on a Sunday afternoon to find out that it takes a HWH series soundbar to do that, using an HDMI connection. At least that's what they told me. I'm returning my 355 now, and will try an HWH450 next. (Fingers crossed.) 12/14/14 I bought this HWF355 to use with my Samsung 65" 6350 serie smart TV.

What 2 channel types do you have?I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.

I couldnt get it to show up in any bluetooth/wireless manager, thought my spectrum analyzer showed it to(most likely) be the same frequency as bluetooth/wifi/ cordless phones, but my guess would be it is proprietary, as to if it will work with your TV for me it seems very likely, it is a vizio remote and TV and similar to the original, if your TV used the same standard as mine(E3D320VX) then i would say it has a very good change of working, if not you can always return it for one that is made for your TV and call it false advertising "remote for 'Class Theater 3DTV'" doesnt work with my "Class Theater 3DTV", i bought this as a replacement for my DOA remote worked out of the box, no syncing or configuring I couldnt get it to show up in any bluetooth/wireless manager, thought my spectrum analyzer showed it to(most likely) be the same frequency as bluetooth/wifi/ cordless phones, but my guess would be it is proprietary, as to if it will work with your TV for me it seems very likely, it is a vizio remote and TV and similar to the original, if your TV used the same standard as mine(E3D320VX) then i would say it has a very good change of working, if not you can always return it for one that is made for your TV and call it false advertising "remote for 'Class Theater 3DTV'" doesnt work... » Read More I couldnt get it to show up in any bluetooth/wireless manager, thought my spectrum analyzer showed it to(most likely) be the same frequency as bluetooth/wifi/ cordless phones, but my guess would be it is proprietary, as to if it will work with your TV for me it seems very likely, it is a vizio remote and TV and similar to the original, if your TV used the same standard as mine(E3D320VX) then i would say it has a very good change of working, if not you can always return it for one that is made for your TV and call it false advertising "remote for 'Class Theater 3DTV'" doesnt work with my "Class Theater 3DTV", i bought this as a replacement for my DOA remote worked out of the box, no syncing or configuring « Show Less

Yes, FM & AM With Multiple Pre sets. I have my Acoustic Wave 2 With 5 CD Changer hooked up to Samsung 46 LED HDTV. You need usually depending on your TV a special audio cable. One end is a single male connection and on the other end has 2 female connections (Left and Right Audio on the Bose Acoustic Wave 2 back of the unit). Then I turn my LED TV sound all way the Down. Press to Input 1 (In my Case) for TV and now my HDTV is piping beautifully through my Bose Acoustic Wave 2. I have premium 1 to 2 (Left and Right Audio on the Base) cable is might be a Monster or equivalent cable. Watching and listening to a Music concert DVD or Blue Ray this way is Super and Sound is top notch! Yes, you will want to get a Premium Back Light Bose Remote as what ships is cheap and the Premium remotes are only like $35.00 to $45.00 and well with the price!

The wireless remote works via infra-red like your TV remote does. I've found that it will function through one of those tinted plastic stereo covers, but, mine will only work if I am oriented toward the radio face. I cannot, for example, use the remote to reliably control the radio if I am standing at the bow of my center console due to the radio's face orientation aft.Edit: This just popped in my head, but, you can probably use one of those IR repeaters common in home stereo and mount the receiver in a more conducive location.

From the Bose web page: *Designed for use with your stereo or home theater receiverSo--yes, you do... unless...Of course, your flat screen output might have enough wattage to drive acceptable sound from your Bose speakers, but it's likely that you won't have enough volume without annoying levels of noise from the low-powered amp in your flat panel's audio wiring. If your TV has outputs for "external speaker" you might make those work to drive the Bose. With just a "line out" or "audio out" jack you may get some sound, but you probably need an amplifier or receiver to be happy. Good news--those are incredibly cheap used these days in the homes of baby boomers everywhere and your local Goodwill...

Bose is a different beast to the rest of the audio world!90% of the time you have to use Bose stuff to work with Bose stuff.I suggest you contact the manufacturing people of the devices ans see what they say...sorry

I bought my Onkyo TX-SR608 to boost my Bose home theather system, I went to the Bose store at San Marcos, Tx. and they told me that it was going to work but with the same power, because the home theater systems of Bose are designed to work by itselfs, I tried it myself and the salesman was right, it sounded the same. So it will work but dont expect that the onkyo reciever to boost up your bose lifestyle system.

The remote will work only if the amplifier is connected to a Bose V25/V35 sound system.The main Bose system controls the amplifier (Power on/off, Volume up/down, Source input).Without the Bose sound system you cannot use the remote control with this amplifier.

Everything with this Bose is operated by the remote, except on and off. On the remote there is a Play Mode button in the bottom left corner. You use that to set Repeat. So technically there is no repeat button on the Bose itself.

I don't understand...the remote works automatically with the Bose speaker...there is no code...

Hi James, they don't need a Bose system, I'm using them on a middle of the range AV receiver and very good. May work on a tv but prob not as the ohm and wattage is probably not high enough from the tv, check the output of the tv to check if possible. Have fun.

It can learn from other remotes. It works fine with my Sony equipment. It should learn from a Bose remote as well.

If you go to the BOSE website it gives you the alternative remote controllers that can be used. Some earlier models were discontinued and replaced with multi system remotes

I have a Bose surround sound system. Just a basic one with the 2 speakers and the sub. Works fantastic though! Love the TV. I have the Disney WOW BluRay disc coming today to help me calibrate the tv correctly. There are so many options with these new tvs it's hard to get them just right.... or at least it's hard to KNOW you have it just right.
