    I have the Lifestyle 38 - since Feb. 07 and have am on my 3rd remote- from Bose- This is extremely frustrating-I'm at my wit's end.

    I have the same problem. Is there any solution without taking the unit to the store?

    I took it back to best buy and they just swapped it out....said the sensor in the box was not reading the remote....new unit is working fine and so is remote.

Bose 321 dvd and remote

Clean out the battery connection inside the battery case. Incase this work disassemble your remote and find any fault connection in it. or let the repair man do it.

If the remote work change the setting press PBC mode this will change the color. or refer to the manual for changing view setting.

I have a bose 321 system and i lost the remote i also havea samsung bn59 00599a remote control what codes and how do i get the samsung to workwith the bose 321

It would be simpler to buy a new remote for the 321 system. Spares for this system are not very expensive. A remote will probably cost less than £20.

Bose 321 Remote not working

Pull off the front panel, be carefull there is a ribbon attached. Detach the ribbon. There are 2 ribbons attached to the front panel, one that leads to the IR (remote sensor) and other for the controls on the top of the unit.

Most likely the ribbon that goes to the IR sensor detached itself, this is common if the unit is dropped etc. Insert the ribbons (2) re-attach the front panel and the remote should work fine. You'll notice some tape on the IR ribbon, I suggest using some stronger tape, BOSE tape thats not very good.

This happened to me on my 3-2-1 GS II system and fixed it.

Bose 321

I have same issue. This happened on 12/31/2007 after 13 months of operation. Though remote is not controlling the unit, it controls TV. I went to BOSE showroom (Chennai, India) and remote worked perfectly with their GS display unit. Then I went to service center. Serviceman promised me to send a CD with software upgrade. Let me wait for a day or 2 receive CD and test it. Have you got any solution.
