Bose Soundbar 700 factory reset

[ale999]

Hello Keith,

 thank you so much for fast reply.

Yes i’ve tried but the ir does not communicate anymore in anyway.

i am so frustrated - the point is simple: if it does not pair i cannot reset soundbar and app to factory settings.

the pairing remote option on advanced settings of bose app does not work.

i am totally stuck 😞

Hello ale999, 

I'm sorry to hear you are still having issues with this. As mentioned in the post above by Hector, if the issue persists, please get in touch with local support via the link he provided. 

All the best,

Ciao jeff,

 the support doesn answer to my call - i will try again but this seems the issue

• On the remote control, press the Center navigation button once. Within a few seconds, the six source icons on the remote will blink three times to indicate it has paired with the soundbar

i dont have any of the 6 icons blinking when i press the central button but only the 4 coloured dots blinking

Any suggestion?

best

Ale

I have tried all of these different ways to reset my $700 Bose sound bar, but none of it works. Well the price set up should be a lot simpler.

Finally figured out the buttons combo on the remote so this might help others out, as googling for this yield some very frustrating instructions.

If you have the Bose Music App opened and trying to add the sound bar and it can’t find it, you have to put the bar in setup mode (solid amber color light).  To do this, hold the TV button (icon looks like a tv) AND also the “skip back” button (with the double arrows *<<* symbol, and NOT the actual Back, single <, or Exit button).  After about 5-10 seconds the bar should glow a solid orange and can be discovered in the music app.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CANT PAIR REMOTE AND CANT FIND SOUNDBAR!! TRIED EVERYTHING.

THINK I WILL BE MOVING TO SONOS SOON. I CURRENTLY HAVE 3 X 500 SPEAKERS 1 X 700 SOUND BAR AND THE NEW SURROUND SOUND SPEAKERS AND THE 700 SUB! DISAPOINTED IS AN UNDERSTATMENT!!!!
