Getting strong remote control range and response

The cord that connects the power supply to the media center contains an antenna for your
RF remote. For good range, it is VERY important that you extend this cord to its full length
and keep it away from other system cables. P!"#$%&'()*'+,-*.'/0++!1',%'()*'2!,,.3'-*!!'4*!,-'

()*'5*6$"'#*%(*.3'+0(/'()*'#,.6'$%'"'7*.($#"!',.$*%("($,%3'-)$#)'$/',+($5058

Note:

Also, when using a plasma screen TV, keeping the media center power supply as far from

the TV as is practical improves remote range.

If your system does not respond when you press a button on the remote, it could be time to
change the batteries. For information on the type of batteries to use and how to change them,
refer to “Replacing the remote control batteries” on page 52.

In some buildings, there may be “dead spots” where remote control signals are not effective.
If this happens, move the remote a foot or two and try again. Also make sure the cord that
connects the power supply to the media center (and contains the remote antenna) is
stretched to its full length and is separated from other power cords. If this does not help,
move the media center a few feet to see if a new location provides better response.

If the batteries are not dead and your efforts to avoid dead spots are in vain, you may need an
antenna extender. To contact Bose for more information, or to order the extender, refer to the
address list included with the system.

Making sure you hear what you like

Enjoying the broad selection of your private music collection in powerful, lifelike multi­speaker performance is the primary benefit of your uMusic

Yet this system provides the means for you to narrow its selections to better satisfy the !
different facets of your personality.

Set up presets for each listener right away

To get the very most from this sophisticated, multi-faceted feature, you need to set up and
use the stored music presets reserved for this purpose.

A stored music preset is where listening preferences for different people, activities, or moods
get recorded over time. Consider each one as a different “station” that you tune to so the !
system can “listen” and learn about your taste.

Note:

If several people in your household have stored music on the system, it is particularly
important that they have their own presets. This helps the system differentiate preferences and
prevents it from replaying music you do not want to hear.

When you first select Stored as your source, the system automatically enters Preset 1, shown
on the media center display as P1 (Figure 4). Or, if you used another preset recently, the !
system may select that preset for you.
