Replacement part for Bose Cinemate Interface

I need the IR Detector Module that goes inside the BOSE CineMate Interface Module. It seams to be Part Number 1B83 41A or that is what it says in the small black ir detector. Does anybody know where can I find one or if there is a replacement for it.

    Use a TSOP4038 . I just replace the original with this one and now leds in the Bose Cinemate Interfase Module turns from red to green and works as new.

    Thanks for posting this but how do I go about replacing the TSOP4038? Is it a difficult thing to do? Can you send me directions? thanks! Lisa

    You have to unsolder the one inside the Interface module and solder the new one. It needs to be done by someone with soldering experience.

    How do you open the module? It seems sealed.

  • Hector C Hernandez Dec 04, 2011

    The base of the Interface Module has some kind of sylicon glued to paper. This sylicon paper is glued to the base of the module. Just remove the sylicon together with the paper from the module and you will find 4 screws. These 4 screws are the ones that fix the two halves of the module together..

    To Lisa (and others), if it's not too late. This solution does work and the part is very cheap. I found it onhttp://www.mouser.com/ . The part was about 70 cents and shipping was about $9. Luckily I had a family member who know about electronics and took care of the taking off the old IR part and soldering in the new one, I tested it today and it worked wonderfully.

    To open the module you need to take off the silicone bottom and take out the 4 screws. (it comes apart pretty quickly after that) The IR part is black and in the front next to the green LED, I believe. (could be the red) Regardless, it's pretty simple to find.

SOURCE: remote control codes for a Bose Cinemate

I would contact ur nearest Bose dealer or Contact the company through the website to get a replacement remote, you will of course need the serial number for the product when you contact them, using a universal remote can make things easier but you will not be able to access most of the functions without the original

What do you do when the interface module keeps blinking

you probably have to have the interface module replaced. Pretty common on this model for those to go bad. If you contact Bose, they will repair it for a flat rate fee.

Bose cinematic autoshut off

The device which sends Audio to Bose causing this issue. I have my Bose Cinemate connected to TV and it will remain until I switch off Bose Interface via remote (Even TV is switched off).

Overheating cause this issue, so keep the Cinemate to have some space to cool.

The light on the interface will not come on

Try powering the unit down for 30 seconds and then power it back up.If after pluging and unpluging you still have the fix red led then the IR Detector Module inside the CineMate Interface Module is not working. You have to replace it. The Part Number is 1B83 41A. You can but this part at Radio shack for under $5.00 , remove the old one and solder a new one in, 3 leads of the LED. This was the way I fixed mine

I am having a Bose Cinamate Digital Home Theater. Original remote of this was lost and bought a new Bose Solo/cinemate system universal remote. It doesn't function with the interface. Will it real

If you can't get this to work, I suggest you try to return the remote and buy and harmony remote. For me it worked very well with everything including old audio amps and you can configure your own activities.

Can't find remote for Bose Cinemate...is there any other way to turn it on without remote?

No, you need some sort of remote. Luckily this Bose uses IR for the remote and not RF. This means you might find a cheap universal remote that has a code for this. PC programmable remotes such as Logitech's Harmony, URC, and RTI remotes would definitely work.

How can I hook up my Bose cinemate on my Philips HD tv when no there is no Audio out and I want to use it for my dvd player, cable box, and video systems?

You don't need to send audio TO a TV. I's a TV, not a source of anything. Many of us use monitors (no TV speakers). The Bose speakers are presumably superior to the TV speakers so whatever the TV is watching (cable/sat/dvd) shuld have its own audio.


Page 11.

If your TV does not have any audio output jacks, you can connect the CineMate™ speaker

system to the audio output jacks of another source, such as a DVD player or cable/satellite

box. However, you will hear sound only from the connected source through your CineMate
speakers.

Bose Cinemate green led won't come on.

Do the same thing by unplugging the power, but also unplug the interface module (box with red/green LED light) from the sub woofer / bass module, and wait 30+ seconds. Plug the interface module back in first, and screw it in as tight as possible. Then plug the power back in and try the remote. This should fix your problem. :)
If this doesn't fix it, you will have to purchase/replace this module through Bose. (anywhere from $40-$60 if not under 1-yr warranty.) If you're still under warranty, it's a free replacement.

Bose cinemate will not power on. light stays red?

Make sure your system is not plugged into a surge protector. Sometimes a surge protector will foul the system up, don't know why. lol. I fought with my system for 3 hours trying to get it to work, then moved it from my surge protector to the wall and it came on. If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the receiver module itself, wait 60 sec, then plug it back in. If that still does not solve the problem, I would suggest calling Bose Customer Service..
