Hi All I too have been contemplating on this sort of workaround but, there a distinct danger of just two speakers being connected to the reciever, to pass this on as stereo only !!!

Turn on Bose console to the TV source, press setup, on the Bose remote, scroll down to CEC settings, and if not selected already, select Alternate, this will stop the console from switching back, once a new source has been selected. As for ARC vs Optical, they both transmit Dolby & DTS 5.1 compressed files, through the cables, the audio quality are the same unless, one of the cables are damaged. To hear high end digital audio i.e Dolby True HD, this requires an HDMI cable, ARC is only capable of what optical can do, EARC will be a game changer in the new HDMI 2.1 specs. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi Marv There is two option for your solution. 1) Connent your Apple TV directly to the TV, then you can choose either TV internal speakers, or Bose surround sound via HDMI arc or optical cable. 2) If you want to keep the Apple TV connected to the Bose, turn your Bose volume to zero or mute, switch your TV to internal speakers via your TV remote and hey presto, you will still need the Bose turned on to pass through your Apple TV signal to your television.

Hi Paulie If the Sky Q audio is fine when set to normal, this means your TV, is not passing through the Dolby codec, to your sound bar, I'd advise reading your TV manual, firstly, to see if Dolby can be passed through, if so, which audio settings to enable on your TV.. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi JB1970 In setup on the Bose console, manualy change your TV setup to a different make and model, this will stop your TV from turning on with the Bose. It does sound like your having HDCP hand shake problems !! this is just a workaround for now, especially has your using a 3rd party remote. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi Jurgen Bluetooth maybe your solution here, when I have my phone connected by BT to listen to music downloaded onto the device, I also have notification sounds play through the lifestyle speakers, just select bluetooth on your lifestyle source and pair up your laptop, if its capable of BT. Another solution would be either hdmi connected to the lifestyle as a new source from your laptop or 3.5mm cable going from your laptop to the headphone socket on the front of the console. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi Alex's Has suggested, run apdaptiq for your room, I recommend for listening to music, have Bose set to Direct, for TV, leave at Normal, for bluray, toggle between Direct, Normal and Enhanced Dialogue sound modes, these do alter the eq curve and can be stored for each source you have. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi JamesW Nice argument but, it's simular to comparing matrix sound to all speakers from a stereo source and having a Dolby True HD sound sent to individual speakers, known as Chanel's. I myself have all four speakers ceiling mounted, only one am300 though :( but the sound is hunky dory, I will now wait until my system dies then, contemplate on a newer system, hopefully by then, Hdmi 2.1 is the norm in all appliances and, Dolby Atmos as even improved or, there's a better sound codec :)

Hi Manideep I have the Lifestyle 650 and my room size is about half of your room size. I have no doubt, that you will still have room filling audio from the 650, just run adaptiq once set up, and hey presto, you'll be there. For loudness, my volume setting is on 30, to me that can be a little too loud, with your self having twice the area, I would imagine your volume setting my be on 60. The max volume level on this system is 100, but saying that, once adaptiq is run, it will probably be alot less. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi Manideep You probably know that fot best results, you need the sound waves firing at the seated area from the front of the screen, have you been in touch with Bose to see if an extension speaker cable can be purchased? If not, I would build a shelf slightly above head height from seated area, run adaptiq from seating area, test sound for a few hours, then run adaptiq squatting opposite your seating area where the video display is and see if this improves sound quality while your sat down in the normal seated area. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi gamingon All apart from Direct will work like Dolby Pro Logic, if the source sends Stereo, Direct will play Stereo, visa versa for multi channel. Normal mode is the best for me for games, movies and tv, for music I prefer Direct, Stereo. If you wanted to listen to music via all speakers, just alter the mode to normal, you can also adjust the rear and centre volume levels of these speakers including Bass and Treble but that is it, there are no equaliser, due to the fact of messing up Bose propriety sound. I would recomend taking a Bluetooth device with music on, i. e mobile phone, and give the Lifestyle a test run, but remember, Bluetooth nor MP3 is the best for quality, but if your still happy with the sound, you could do alot worse. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi mmm95170@gmail.com When this happens again, check the colour of the led light on the Bass module around the back, if this is on yellow, the bass module has lost wifi connection with your console, this can be eliminated by moving nearby wifi sources away from the bass or hard wiring the bass to the console. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi gamingon There are four selectable user modes on the Lifestyle 600/650. Direct - best for music, or by passing the Bose DSPs, to hear the original source content. Normal - This is designed using Bose DSPs for movies or gaming like Brandon_M as mentioned. Enhanced Dialogue - Speaks for itself. Night Mode - Enhances dialogue while keeping the bass and back ground sounds low. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi Saurin3245 Please check the link below. https://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/kb.aspx?c=7#113 Active cables run better for longer distances, any problems with hdmi issues, your best of checking HDMI ORG, the official website for HDMI. The Belkin 2.1 cable will only transfer data @ 48 Gbps with HDMI connectors that is ver 2.1. Bose console is 2,0a therefore, will only transmit speeds of upto 18 Gbps which, is enough for 4k Hdr. The longer the cable, the more data can be lost hence active and passive cables. If you do go the active cable route, please make sure it has a premium cable certificate which, Hdmi Org are now supporting. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi all Just a thought and I don't know if anyone has tried this but, connect which sources you want going into the Lifestyle for UHD and HD sound, turn every thing on, then on your Tv menu, factory reset your Tv, making a note before, of any calibrated settings. Regards Squadie

Do you have another device you can plug into hdmi2 (arc) socket on the tv to test, if this is working. If not, disconnect the hdmi cable from the bose to the tv, and reconnect, insuring connection is secure. retest the setup option on the bose.

I take it you did check audio settings on the tv whilst on Netflix, like I said, the tv sometimes revert to internal speaker settings, when opening a tv app. Has for playing audio through arc and optical, I'm afraid it's one or the other. On the Bose remote, press setup, scroll down to Advanced Tv Audio Setup and press ok, then choose either Use HDMI ARC or Audio Cable- ( being for optical cable). Hope this helps Squadie Edit :- If wanting to use arc, make sure Alternate is selected in the CEC menu of the Bose Unify.

For trouble shooting, set all devices and tv to output PCM / LPCM audio. Test for a couple of days to see if any audio dropout is heard. Regards Squadie

Hi there I'll presume you have switched the Bose console onto Tv source. Then with your Tv remote, start Netflix and play any video. With a video playing, on your Tv remote, head back into sound settings, make sure this is set to optical / ARC and cec is turned on underneath this setting. The OLED Tvs have a habbit of switching back to internal speakers when listening to audio on a Tv app. Hope this helps Squadie

Hi Mark Keep your cec settings on the Bose to Alternate. Keep your hdmi cable from port A blue ray player to tv. Try a different hdmi input on the bose to port b on the blueray player and test, if no sound is heard, press the source button on the bose remote to confirm which ever hdmi input you have plugged into, on the bose, from port b blueray player, is showing. If still no joy, I'm afraid thats me out of ideas. If i can think of anything else, I will post back. All the best Squadie

Ok Mark Just do this setup again and test, if still no sound, from the Blueray, press the source button on the Bose remote, and make sure Blueray ray is showing on the Bose remote display screen, if Tv is showing, scroll up or down to Blueray and press ok, please make sure sound is present on the Blueray player and not just on the menu screen. If this resolves your issue, I would advice that HDMI CEC is set to Alternate in the Bose Unify menu. Hope this helps Squadie

I have a similar setup with the Panasonic UB900, audio hdmi into one of bose ports, display straight into the tv. On the Panasonic set up menu, it gives either audio only option or audio & video, for the audio hdmi out. Selecting the latter will not transmit the full video capability of the blueray player. I had the blueray player set up on audio & video. Set the blueray player up on the Bose unify menu to control the player then, with the video output into the tv, I also set the tv up to control the player. Once setup is complete, I changed the player settings back to audio only for the hdmi connection to the Bose and Video only for the tv. So, when i want to watch a blueray, on the Bose control, I select source, Blueray, then press the more button on the Bose remote and scroll down to turn on device, the blueray player turns on and the tv switches automatically to the hdmi source where the video is plugged in. This gives the best options for high clarity sound through the Bose and, full potential of the tvs panel capability for the video. Hope this helps Squadie

Good Evening After the reset did you try to turn your console back on by the consoles on/off button, which is the correct way. The flashing amber light on the console either indicates, not set up to network or firmware update. Hope this helps Squadie

Sorry but fit to screen or just scan is not a 1:1, it stretches or decreases the picture to fit to your panel, but yes if your playing a uhd source, there should be no processing going on.

The only difference you will see is a 2 to 4% loss of visual picture around the border of your panel, the visible picture still remains 4K quality but working within a safe zone. Obviously a safe zone takes away the non seen pixels but, like I said, all visible pixels are still 4K quality. As for your colour issue, I've never experienced this, so I'm afraid I can't comment. Best Squadie
