The tiltle basily says it all. I use a Harmony Elite to handle all AV functions. Upon the 130's power on a loud "pop" came from the Acoustimass. First time this has ever occured. Note, this occurred before any programing audio was going through the 130. Just wondering if this is an indication of some pending issue. Thanks

If your Bose product has settings you can see are they as you set them or did they reset to original? If they still are as you set them then you should not have to rerun Adaptiq. If you are in doubt go ahead and rerun Adaptiq. Btw, hopefully you have a quality surge suppressor for your AV components. If not it is important to buy one as soon as possible. Strong power surges can destroy your equipment.

The ad indicates compatible with 520 speakers. I am searching for others. Check back. https://www.brandsmartusa.com/bose/178198/series+ii+universal+floor+stands.htm#pdp-overview

A young adult offered me $1250 for our 130. Just was not right to take him like that. He just ordered a new 130 from Amazon for $999.

I know what you mean Brandon. I’m sure Mother Bose will take advantage of what she is learning from the 300. Heck, maybe I can convince my bride of 39 years to upgrade from our 130. 😎

FSB_25 Are you positioning the speakers behind the couch or to each end? Are there any other seats in the room? You really need 5 positions for Adaptiq to best set the sound field.

My recommendation is from logic based upon the op's need for real or artificial space. By giving priority to the overly close seating positions Adaptiq will balance the audio for all positions.

The surround speakers should be at ear height. Running Adaptiq: Sit in your primary listening position. Sit in the second most to be used listening position. Sit in the third most to be used listening position. Sit in the fourth most to be used listening position. Sit in the fifth (least) to be used listening position. The volume level at the primary seating position should be near perfect. If the seating positions closest to the right and left surround speakers are numbers 2 & 3 (as described directly above) then the volume level will most probably be acceptable. Conversely, if the seating positions closest to the right and left surround speakers are numbers 4 & 5 then the volume level will most probably be overly loud. NOTE: If the overall volume level is exceedingly loud then the right and left seating positions may be overly loud regardless. Suggest you run Adaptiq then evaluate by siting in each position while the audio is on. Good luck! Please reply back with your evaluation results.

Sorta like looking forward to the new car model year. I'm very interested in what Bose Soundbar model will surpass the 300. No answer necessary. I know you can't talk about the subject.

In my opinion the 130's Acoustimass outputs very good bass much of the time. I have my Acoustimass adjusted +3. Other times the +3 level results in a muddled rumble. A quick adjustment back to the Adaptiq set bass level solves the issue. The Acoustimass then sounds fine. The lesson learned is the Acoustimass is not a true subwoofer. Something I seemly forgot. Hopefully other 130 owners may find this information useful.

Sorry about your pairing issue. Turn off other AV using wireless communication. Once again reset to factory settings. Disconnect all 300 cables and power. From the beginning, per the manual, properly place (sub) and connect your 300 components. Ensure you follow the connect/all processes in the order specified. Do not rush, nor get ahead of yourself. Pair the sub when and exactly how specified. If it does not pair go to trouble shooting section in your manual. Follow its exact instructions. If pairing again fails immediately contact Bose Support. While speaking with Bose Support order the sub cable. Good luck Martin. Your pairing issue will be resolved.

UPDATE: After moving the 130's Acoustimass within 6" to 8" from the wall and moving the 130's Soundbar forward about a 1.5" overall audio has improved!

Thanks for commenting. Our AV is in a cabinet centered along a wall so, unfortunately, the Acoustimass is between the cabinet and a chair. Most probably the worst possible location. I would love to sell our 130 then buy the 300. Doubt that will happen so enjoying the 130. The Acoustimass was positioned about two inches in front of the cabinet then I read today it should be no more than six to eight inches from the wall so I pushed it back. Also the Acoustimass is set at +3 after Adaptiq. Feel free to offer suggestions.

Yes, having only two HDMI inputs can cause a headache. Audio via a quality Optical cable should be excellent.

Your ST 300 should sound great! Be sure to thoroughly read the 300's manual. With this said, I assume you TV has HDMI inputs. Looking forward to your reply.

I recommend you contact Bose Support and do not forget to order a cable for your Acoustimass 300 wireless bass module.

Cindy, While I am very happy that Bose is going to repair your 130 your "fix" is unfortunately incorrect. Please refer to my step by step instructions provided in my last reply. I'm here to help. Regards, Louis

Cindy, I so regret that I got your 130 mixed up with a 300. Let's try again. Disconnect your all HDMI-connected sourcesfrom your LG TV. Insert one end of an HDMI cable into the TV connector on the 130's console. Insert the other end of the HDMI cable into your TV’s HDMI ARC connector. Insert one end of an HDMI cable into your DirecTV's HDMI (OUT) connector. Insert the other end of that HDMI cable into the CAB-SAT HDMI connector on the console. Insert one end of an HDMI cable into your Samsung Blu-Ray's HDMI (OUT) connector. Insert the other end of that HDMI cable into the BD-DVD HDMI connector on the console. Insert one end of an HDMI cable into your Apple TV's HDMI (OUT) connector. Insert the other end of an HDMI cable into the AUX HDMI connector on the console. Your HDMI cable connections are not complete and should provide both audio and video to you LG 4K TV. IMPORTANT NOTE: If your Apple TV does not use HDMI let me know so I can provide the necessary connection instructions. Cindy, please reply back to tell me how everything is working. Good Luck, Louis

Just for grins try 02776. You have already discovered that 04776 does not work. I recommend you also call Bose Tecnical Support for Chili. Good luck. I'll be waiting to hear from you again.

Is your bass module plugged into a power center or AV surge suppressor. If not first get a proper AV surge supposer. Your entire AV should be protected by one. BTW, there are surge suppressors made specifically for subwoofers should you be interested. FYI, random power noise can cause popping in your subwoofer. If you already have surge suppressors then turn off the power to all your AV components. disconnect power from the wall. Wait a few minutes the power back up. Reset your 300 to factory state then pair the Sub to you 300's soundbar again. If this does not solve your issue contact Bose support plus ask for a Bass Module hardwire cable. Please let us know if your issue is resolved. If not, I will do everything I can to help you resolve your issue.

Please consult pages 12, 41 & 42 for setup and alternative setup methods. Sending you to the manual is much for efficient for you. Here is a direct link to the 300's manual: https://assets.bose.com/content/dam/Bose_DAM/Web/consumer_electronics/global/products/speakers/st_300_product_page/pdf/AM773965_04_OG_ST_300_ENGvo.pdf Please let us know if your issue is resoloved.

After an online chat with Arris you should try codes 0476 or 0276. If these do not work Arris said for you to contact your service provider since your specific Arris Cable Top Box is a exclusive product sold to your provider. It is not among the Arris retail market products. Just out of curiousity who is your cable/or signal service provider. Please let us know if the codes work or if additional assistance is needed.

cndihrtm, I can definately help you but first it is important for me to know a bit more about your components. What is the exact model of your DirecTV DVR? Is your Samsung Blu-Ray a HD Blu-Ray or a 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Player? This information will help me provide you with the correct connection instructions and solve your DVD issue. Looking forward to your reply. Louis

During some to many television shows the 130's bass from the Acoustimass is a thubbing or sorta flat bass tone. Is the 300's bass more defined, sharper, more matched to the true audio? I do not suppose there is anyway to adjust the bass quality of the 130 is there? Thanks

Vacuum with a soft brush attachment or gently vacuum with the slanted straight attachment. To prevent dust buildup use a Swifer Duster weekly. NEVER use any type of liquid!
