Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Bose® VideoWave® III entertainment
system for your home.
By now, your system should be successfully set up and, after
running the ADAPTiQ
should be calibrated for your room. If these tasks have not
been performed, please refer to the VideoWave III entertainment
system setup guide. If you wish to add another device to your
system, see “Changing Your System Setup” on page 28.
This guide describes your new remote control and shows you
how to operate your system.

Introduction
System overview
The VideoWave® entertainment system offers a unique approach to controlling external devices like a cable set-top box,
Blu-ray Disc
or iPhone dock accessory, available for purchase from Bose).
The solution relies on a single remote control that is significantly
easier to use than conventional universal remote controls.
The remote itself has only the buttons necessary for basic control of the system. Controls that are unique to your connected
devices appear on the screen and are accessed by using the
click pad located on the remote control. To select these additional controls, you touch the click pad, glide your thumb to
the function (or control) you want, and press down on the click
pad itself.
This approach is different and will likely require some getting
used to at the beginning, but we believe it offers benefits that
you will appreciate as you use the system:
• Simplified remote control. Only the most basic functions are
located on the remote to make it easy for anyone to operate
the system.
™
DVD player, or iPod or iPhone (using a Bose iPod
• You only see the controls you need. For example, when you
are watching a television program on your cable set-top box
and you touch the click pad, the system activates the control
frame on the screen, presenting only the controls necessary to
operate the set-top box. Or, when you are viewing a DVD, the
system will present only the controls needed to operate the
DVD player.

• Your eyes don’t have to leave the screen. When you want
to select a control, instead of looking down at the remote
to find it, you can simply use your thumb to highlight the
control on the screen and select. All without ever looking
away from the screen.

Introduction
System updates
The Unify® intelligent integration system represents the best way
we know how to overcome the challenge of trying to control external sources in a world where there are no consistent industry
standards for such control. We believe that our approach is a
vast improvement over using multiple, complex remote controls.
However, in some cases, the system may be unable to identify
your particular source. For example, there may be times when
you need to perform a system update, because you’ve purchased a new source with its own non-standard remote control.
Fortunately, we’ve made the process easy, and it’s available for
free from Bose. Please see “Performing a system update” on
page 33 for more information.
