Bose 321 Gsii Set-up Issues

[sageo1965]

I need assistance on setting up my BOSE 321 GSII system. I have is a DISH satellite system and a TV, no VCR or DVR. My problem is that I can't get the BOSE remote to work the componets correctly. I can't get both components to work together. When I click on the TV then I get no Satellite and when I click on the CABLE/SAT then I can't control the TV. Occassionly I can get it to work but that is after spending 10 minutes flipping back in forth between TV and CAB/SAT. I did follow the instructions in owners guide and the DVD. Any help will be appreciated.

Sageo, welcome to the forum.

To better assist you, I'd like to know what you'd like to control on the TV when you're using the DISH system. Channel changes and volume changes shouldn't involve your TV. Also, when you say that you "get no Satellite," do you mean that you get no audio, no video, or both?

I'll look through the manual for a better fix, but here's a quick trick for you. Press "CAB/SAT" on the remote control while it's facing the main Bose unit. This will set the input source to the unit to your DISH box and will set up the remote control to run the DISH box. So, you'll be able to hear and see the satellite signal. If you want to control the television with the remote control, but still want to hear and see the satellite signal, press the "TV" button while covering the top of the remote control (for example, place your hand over it) so that the IR signal won't transmit to the main Bose unit. That way, the remote control will be set up to control the TV, but it won't switch the input source on the main unit.

In general, pressing "TV" or "CAB/SAT" on the remote will set up the remote to control that component. It will only set up the main Bose unit to use that component as the input source if the main unit can see the signal from the remote.

Hope that helps.
