Your TV settings are they set to the HDMI port you are trying to use?

First check the batteries. Then clean all of the connections. If still nada then check out the remote by pointing it at an am radio set to 600khz about 6 inches away and listen for beeping when you press any button. If nothing happens then the remote is trashed and needs to be replaced.

Most likely you have a problem with your CD drive in the Lifestyle system. I suggest to contact Bose, to ask for a repair.

No, only the Bose remotes will work with it! Bose doesn't let any other remote to work on their systems.

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!

Try the settings setup and adjust the brightness, video format, or video black level. If you're using component connections then adjust the video output. You can scroll system setup through the remote control settings button.

Sometimes it is as simple as pulling the powerplugs of the system and then powering it up again. This resets the system and may get you going again. Also make sure that the cable between the center and the bass module is well plugged in. to be sure unplug and replug on both ends. If that does not work your unit needs to go back to Bose.

Replace the batteries in your remote!

If you're talking about the subwoofer, if you don't see a physical switch anywhere on the cabinet, it is turned on or off, as it sees(hears) audio content coming to it at the input connection. If it still doesn't work, please check to be sure you don't have the subwoofer switched off, if that even possible. Another possible answer is that the amplifier in the subwoofer may be damaged.

Optical Output is not generally used for a subwoofer output, nor is it used as a subwoofer input. Please check the type of connection again to be sure. Both methods are for digital use, however, the Optical output uses an LED for digital communications at the receiver, as well as an Optical transistor to receive this input at the subwoofer. Optical connections willing have a blicking light at the end of the cable that goes to the subwoofer, coaxial(RCA) connections will not flash.

First, please check that you have everything switched correctly. If you still have no audio, any functions, but the unit turns on, you may have DC Offset, meaning a damaged amplifier. For more information, please contact me at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.

Most systems have protection on them to not play copies. Contact I tunes with this problem. They will be able to help you out with this.

Because your player is "obsolete".Try to play it in your car.

when this happened to me,,,I found out it meant that the video decoding ASIC was out....I could not get any DVD's to play to the TV, and finally, the "settings" menu would not go on the television screen....this means you need to have the mainboard replaced, and after twice doing this,,,,the Tech on the phone told me that the Video Decoding ASIC is very susceptible to power spikes,,,so I put a big APC filter in front of it....

The shutdown of power in the system is controlled by a logic chip, there is a problem with this part.

We had the same issue. The svideo cable was no longer connected. It had become unconnected when we were connecting a game system.

Hi mjlfield,

That rattling sound is the antenna core broken loose from the board. It needs to be re soldered back on. The case is snapped together very hard and takes a lot of squeezing to get it apart. You will also need a soldering iron to solder the antenna back on.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.
