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.

That is strange, on my Lg OLED, in general settings, I have CEC turned on, Auto off turned off which enables consumer electronics control but, does not turn off the tv if one of the selected devices is turned off. I would consider reaching out to Sony on this issue. All the best Squadie

Your welcome SkyYVZ, I also found the same issue with my PS4 Pro & Panasonic UB900 Blueray player, and yep, you can't put them down to broadcasting, my tv is a LG OLEDc6v. What i did find whilst calibrating this was, the white border around 0% overscan from the test pattern was to much to the left, making sense for overscan line showing up on the right hand side of the panel. With this tv, there is a image retention setting called screen shift, located under panel settings, once i turned this feature off, the overscan test pattern was perfect, I left this off for a couple of days and hey presto, no more green line. For over a week now, my actual aspect ratio settings are on original, with Just Scan turned back on, screen shift turned on. Neither my wife or I has seen the line so far so, I'm hoping thats it for me, for those who can't get this resolved, with findings above, I do hope Bose engineers cough up a fix. Good luck everyone.

Please see link below from Samsung Support. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiflczgyrnaAhWCIMAKHQSnDrsQFjAEegQIABBQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport-us.samsung.com%2Fcyber%2Fpopup%2Fiframe%2Fpop_troubleshooting_fr.jsp%3Fidx%3D146891%26modelname%3DUN55B7100WF&usg=AOvVaw3kU7U8wRZVbQb5p3cU3rk9 To me, this does explain the green line issue. Edit :- On my LG OLED65C6 with Just Scan turned off, I Loose a total of 2.5% of the entire picture, confirmed, by my Overscan test pattern on a calibration disk. So what, I can't see an entire cup on a shelf if a pause the video :) Its the action my eyes are focused on, old CRT TVs use to have a safe zone of around 5 % with overscan. This is not a plea to stop Bose from researching the green line issue, just a work around to what Samsung and a few others are saying about this issue if, the above link is actual true. Regards Squadie

That's correct but, you only loose a small percentage of the outer picture which means, loosing the green line, Whether your watching movies or playing games, your eyes are focused to the centre of the screen, this is a work around if and when Bose can rectify this. The moderators have already passed this on to engineering, they will be in touch if anything comes about this issue. No time line will be given which, Bose has made clear in the past. Hope this helps

What ever you believe, this is what some sites are saying, turning off the fit to screen option for your own panel aspect ratio does work which, some community members will benefit from, plus turning off this feature also validates the lack of video information theory, if it works, and for me, the answer is yes.

Hi All For Samsung Tv owners turn off your fit to screen option, for LG Tv owners turn off Just Scan in the Aspect Ratio settings. Yes you will loose some of the outer edge of the picture but, you won't see a green line, the action normally takes place in the centre of the screen. Some AV companies are putting the green / white or black line down to lack of video information being passed by their system to the tv from other sources! Any how, hope this helps as a temp work around until this is resolved. Squadie

Hi Andy Don't think Bose will implement this due to the fact, sound touch is mostly adopted for music mostly, if you log on to sound touch app, and press the play button, or select one of your presets, the system will automatically change source to the soundtouch, I do this now and again to annoy the wife when she's watching one of her awful soaps :)

Sorry for the late reply, been away, I was going to suggest to, make sure your volume level for the headphone socket was at least half way up, on some tvs, when you plug a headset into them, a separate volume level in the tv is displayed, and this can be set at zero by default, for the headphone, all we are doing here is fooling the tv that a headphone is attached has modern models don't cater for older sound systems. Glad everything is OK Squadie
