Hello there.
I have a very first BOSE REMOTE control for CineMate (I think First Generation)
Suddenly the Volume Up key is not working. Is there any programing way to set another key as Volume Up like there in the center are 4 arrows keys and the Up and Down is controlling channels the Left arroy controls the Volume Down of the TV but the Right Arrow looks like is not assigned any action… I could use that Key as Volume Up… Is that possible, if yes, how?
Thank you.
I’m having trouble pairing my Bose Solo 15 soundbar with my Xfinity X15 remote.
I have connected my Bose Soundbar 700 Universal Remote to my Samsung Model NU 7470. Please advise the correct Code to be incorporated to enable the Remote to control the TV.
We got a new Vizio TV D50 E1.
Our Bose universal remote will turn the TV on and off (it was set up to a different Vizio TV before).
We can still run a DVD from the universal Bose remote.
When we click on menu to choose an app like Amazon videos or Netflix, it won’t open that menu.
It opens the menu for the TV, and won’t let us access any of the smart features on the TV.
We tried all the codes for Vizio TV.
What do we need to do?
I have a Bose CineMate GS Series ii home theater speaker system.
It has a Universal Remote.
I would like to use the Bose remote to control my TCL Roku TV.
I have tried all of the codes listed in the manual provided with the Bose system – 12434, 13183, 10698.
None of them work.
