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 ... View more

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 ... View more

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 ... View more

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 ... View more

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 ... View more

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. ... View more

Zooming out on a picture also distorts, i. e Just scan ... View more

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.

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. ... View more

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 ... View more

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. ...
