What to do
• Check batteries and their polarity (+ and –).
• Make sure the VS-2/media center input and output cords are securely connected,
uncoiled, and extended to their full length.
• Make sure the VS-2 cable between the VS-2 and the media center is securely connected,
uncoiled and straightened as much as possible.
• If you are using a plasma-screen TV, make sure the media center power source is as far
away from the TV as possible.
• Move the remote (or the media center) a few feet to avoid an area of "dead spots."
• Make sure the remote control and media center house codes match.
®
• Contact Bose Customer Service for assistance.
• Momentarily disconnect the video cable (composite, S-video, or component) and see if
remote performance improves.
• If performance improves, the problem may be remedied by obtaining "ferrite chokes" and
placing them on the cable to draw away the interference. To purchase the chokes, contact
Bose Customer Service for assistance.
• Change the house code setting to prevent signals from conflicting with another nearby
LIFESTYLE ® system. (See "Changing remote control switch settings" on page 41.)
• Make sure antennas are connected properly.
• Move AM antenna at least 20 inches (50 cm) from the media center.
• Adjust antenna position to improve reception.
• Make sure the AM antenna is in an upright position.
• Move antennas farther from media center, TV, or other electronic equipment.
• Select another station. You may be in an area of weak signal coverage for some stations.
• After pressing the CD/DVD button, wait a few seconds before pressing Play.
• Make sure the disc is properly inserted (label side up).
• Eject the disc and try loading it again.
• The CD may be dirty. See "Cleaning discs" on page 43.
• Try another CD. The CD may be defective or not compatible. See "Types of discs you can
use with this system" on page 5.
• Check the disc for scratches, fingerprints, smears, or dirt. See "Protecting and caring for
your system" on page 42.
• Adjust antenna position to reduce interference.
• Weak FM stations will produce static in the surround speakers. Select the 2-speaker mode
in the Settings menu to minimize noise.
• Make sure speaker cables are not damaged and the connections are secure.
• Reduce the output level from any external components connected to the media center.
• Check the connections.
• Make sure that component is turned on.
• Refer to the component owner's manual.
• Check the TV video input selection. Make sure it is correct for the video source.
