Thanks to this forum I saved 350000 Rupees (4900 USD) which is the price for the LS650 in India. When you pay through your nose for a system you expect perfection and then some. Its ridiculous to compromise after paying for a system which is both expensive and elite (supposedly). When we buy a LS 650 we expect everything to work out of the box. HDMI ARC, Video Signal etc are all basic things that noone even thinks would go wrong let alone on such a system. I was almost on the verge of buying it for my bedroom since I liked the small form factor of the system and also i know there are some engineering marvels at work with Bose products but reading on this topic and even inquiring with the Bose Store officials who had vague replies on inquiring about the video issues i have decided to stay away from Bose products for now. As a side note I had purchased a Soundtouch 300 with Am300 and sold it in a few months. the sound just did not appeal to me. I am going for a soundbar from Sony which sounds wayyyy better and is more custommizable etc and at a lower cost. I know Bose makes products with a certain clientile in mind but they need to get to speed with their products and troubleshooting. Otherwise we are looking at another Apple in the making !!

Sorry to say this but I went away from the Bose LS650 temptation after rwadijg all these posts. I'm pretty happy with my existing atmos setup and I upgraded my avr recently which has brought the system alive now. Pity that Bose is plagued with such issues. For what you pay... A Bomb for these systems such issues should be out of the question. @shahramsherazi wrote: Hi I have still issue with my 650 when I connect to HDR Bluray the screen flickers.Its not HDMI issue as I have tried plugging direct to projector. I was told BOSE will release a software update to fix it is this true. Can anyone from Bose confirms if you are working on fix.

Oh No. Thanks for the alert. This is really unacceptable from Bose. I have several of their products and they work well. But this happening to their flagship is unacceptable. @JB1970 wrote: Take a look at the post titled "Lifestyle 650 HDR Problems" and don't make a HUGE mistake buying the system. Myself and numerous other people are having issues since Bose pushed a firmware update last October. Despite 11 pages of comments on this forum and numerous empty promises from Bose the problem is not resolved and by the looks of it unlikely to be resolved. The unit can no longer reliably pass video through the console and often turns on with no sound and a pink or green screen. The only way to resolve it seems to be to reboot or switch items on in a specific order. After spending £4000 clearly I'm not happy. Save yourself a huge dissapointment and look for a system that actually works.

Wow. This is crazy. I was about to run to the store and audition a LS650 tomorrow but sropped in my tracks seeing these posts. Really shocking that a company like Bose couldnt resolve this issue. i am on tenterhooks as I was really looking forward to buy the system for the living room.

Hi. I'm considering purchasing the LS650. But it's already been there for a while now. I'm afraid I buy it and then there's a new one in few months with better features and support for HDR formats etc. Any thoughts on the same?

HI. I installed teh latest firmware and as of now all is well. The sound signature is a bit better post update on the ST300. The AM300 sounds about the same. Vocals sound a bit better even with the audio setting center channel kept on 0. Happy with this update so far.

We have the ST 300 and AM 300 installed in our bedroom what used to house a full fledged 5.1 satellite system.We renovated the bedroom and decided to keep it neat and clutter free with premium sound. After a long search and contemplation we decided on the Bose and havent been happier. We have a 43inch LG 4k TV connected to the ST300 and an Nvidia Shield TV is on the way to stream DTS and HD content from my Wd Mycloud NAS. The system rocks and its a pleasure everytime listening to it. Especially I feel the sound is more punchy and connection stable with the new update.

HI Stitch123..I have the ST300 and as far as I can see and tell theres just 1 HDMI Input on it. So you can connect 1 device only. Then there is an HDMI Out with ARC support. If your TV doesnt support HDMI Arc or Optical page 48 of the online manual says thus: No HDMI™ ARC or optical connector on your TV • Connect to your TV using an audio converter and separate audio cable, such as a coaxial, 3.5 mm or analog stereo cable (not provided). The type of converter and cable you need depends on the audio output connectors available on your TV. You would have to get a converter with optical on one side which plugs into the ST300 and 3.5mm jack on the other side which plugs into Audio out/ Headphone jack on your TV. What connectors does your TV have? I assume it will definitely have RCA- the Red and White inputs. You could also connect via an adaptor cable with Optical one side into Bose ST300 and RCA (Red and White) into TV. Hope this helps.

Hi. Everything works ok now. I guess it sorted itself out when I dosconnected and reconnected the HDMI Cable. Now it works flawlessly. So for anyone having this ARC Handshake problem, Disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI Cable would help.

Ok here are some interesting observations. I removed the hdmi connection and connected via optical. Maybe it's my ears but there was a discernible difference in audio quality via optical vs hdmi. Hdmi being better to my ears. I had switched off the simplink and cec options in my TV. Then I removed the optical and reconnected via hdmi arc. The sound was a but better on the same tracks. Also the simplink started on it's own without any intervention from my side and it automatically connected via arc. Jo issue in the handshake. I shall check once again tomorrow and report the findings. As of now all is good. Please choke in on this.

Im now thinking of connecting via the optical cable instead of the HDMI since I anyways do not have any HDMI devices into the ST300. Everything is connected to the TV and Ill just take the sound output via optical. What sound formats would I lose via optical vs HDMI. Hopefully none?

It still doesnt work. I have had to turn off and on the ST300 and / or the TV. Then it comes on but its not after a few seconds. Takes longer and after some steps. Unusual. Any fixes here? My TV is a new 2018 model LG43UJ752T.

Not happening. Again I had kept the option in the CEC menu as ALTERNATE ON and not DEFAULT ON. Will check with that option again. So now as I understand it these are the steps to follow: 1) Turn on the LG TV with the LG Remote 2) Do Nothing EVerything should work automatically. Please chime in.

Ok. But is there a delay until the handshake happens or is it instantaneous?

Hi Whenever I start my ST300 which is connected to my new LG 43 4K tv there is always a long delay and a lot of restarts until the handshake happens. Is there a particular sequence to it. Like tv on first or st300 on first to get it up and running immediately. Please help.

HI All, Finally after testing, contemplating...took the plunge and bought the ST300 and AM300. I must say Im thrilled with the sound. Its installed in my bedroom which is small- about 180 sq feet with the sub nicely tucked away. The bass from this thing is punchy. I had run ADAPTiQ initially when I set it up but lost a lot of the bass. So I did a reset and now running it without calibrating fearing losing the bass again. Firmware running is v19.0.7. Im tempted to run Adaptiq. Moderators could probably chime in whether I risk losing the bass again. Otherwise overall its an amazing piece of engineering. It looks really aesthetically which is very important for my wife and also with Bose comes a certain prestige and a feeling of quality. Extremely pleased with the purchase.

The Lifestyle 650 is already a seasoned product. Any news on a successor or a newer model as the flagship of Bose?
