Getting good remote control range and response
The cord that connects the power supply to the VS-2 and the VS-2 to the media center
contains an antenna for your RF remote. For good range, it is VERY important that you extend
this cord to its full length and keep it away from other system cables. Placing the power
supply on the floor, well below the media center, puts the cord in a vertical orientation, which
is optimum.
Note:
When using a plasma screen TV, keeping the media center power supply as far from the
TV as is practical improves remote range.
If your system does not respond when you press a button on the remote, it could be time to
change the batteries. For information on the type of batteries to use and how to change them,
refer to “Replacing the remote control batteries” on page 41.
In some buildings, there may be “dead spots” where remote control signals are not effective.
If this happens, move the remote a foot or two and try again. If this does not help, move the
media center a few feet to see if a new location provides better response.
If the batteries are not dead and your efforts to avoid dead spots are in vain, you may need an
antenna extender. To contact Bose for more information, or to order the extender, refer to the
contact list included with the system.
