how to set and remove "presets" on Bose Sound Touch 30 wireless music system

1 comments:

To set presets on the Bose SoundTouch 30 wireless music system:

1. Use the SoundTouch app, the button pad on the system, or the remote control.
2. Select your desired streaming music service, station, playlist, artist, album, or song.
3. Assign it to one of the six preset buttons.

Important notes:
- The preset source must be from a supported streaming service or your music library.
- If using iTunes or Windows Media Player, ensure the computer storing the library is on and connected to the same network.
- You cannot set presets from an AirPlay stream or an AUX-connected device.

To remove or change a preset, simply overwrite it by assigning a new source to the same preset button.
