If you have a Bose system like a soundbar or home theater setup, the universal remote lets you manage several devices from one spot. This means less switching between controls for your TV, cable box, or player. Here, find detailed steps to set it up along with code lists for various brands and types.
Understanding the Bose Universal Remote
These remotes come with models such as Solo, CineMate, or SoundTouch. They send signals via infrared or use HDMI links for control. Look in your system’s guide to see what works with yours. Some newer versions pair through an app for easier handling.
Setup Options for Your Remote
Several ways exist to link your remote to devices. Pick based on your gear.
Using HDMI-CEC
This feature allows control without entering numbers if your devices support it. Enable CEC in the settings of your TV or connected item. Power everything down, then hit the source key on the Bose control. If the device starts up, it should handle basics like volume. Note that not all functions may work fully.
Entering Codes Manually
Turn on the device you want to link. Press and hold the matching source key on the remote until the lights stay on, then release. Type in the four or five-digit number for that brand. Check by adjusting volume. If it reacts, press the key to store it. Lights flashing three times mean try a different number.
Searching for Codes Automatically
If manual entry fails, hold the source key as before. Then press volume up to go through possible numbers one by one. Try commands like channel change each time. When it responds, hit the store key. This can check many options, but stop if none fit after a set amount.
App-Based Pairing for Select Models
For systems like Soundbar 500 or SoundTouch, use the Bose Music app. Download it, connect your system to Wi-Fi, and go to settings. Pick to add a device, choose the type like cable, and follow prompts to link. This handles modern setups well.
Learning Mode for Custom Control
Some remotes learn from original ones. Place them facing each other and teach commands by pressing buttons. This helps with unique functions or if no code exists.
Full Lists of Device Codes
Codes differ by remote type—check for four or five digits. Find your model’s version on the back or in the guide. Below are codes grouped by category, covering many brands. For rare ones, check Bose support for full books.
