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. Placing the power supply on the floor, well below
the media center, puts the cord in a vertical orientation, which is optimum.
Note: Also, when using a plasma screen -iV,,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 40.
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.
