Can a Samsung TV control a Bose CineMate?
I have a 65 inch curved Samsung TV, model number UN65KS8500F, that I picked up from Besty Buy maybe a year or two ago. I was looking at connecting a Bose Cinemate 15 digtal theatre sound system to the TV, however, I’m having no luck getting the Samsung TV’s Universal Remote feature to control the sound system.
Can a Bose TV connect to a smart TV?
The answer is yes. Many people have purchased new 4K smart TV’s and are having difficulty connecting to their older Bose Lifestyle system. Many times, the issue is connecting new digital devices using HDMI cables; other times, it’s connecting the audio of programs that are streamed directly to the TV.
What are the advantages of a Bose TV?
There are many advantages with this upgrade such as 6 HDMI inputs, 1 HDMI input with Audio Return Channel (ARC), single HDMI output to your TV, 4K pass through, universal remote control, IR Port, increased bass output, and the built-in Soundtouch Streaming Music platform which allows you to stream your favorite music sources.
Can a universal remote control a Bose TV?
Test 1 – does not power on/off the device. Test 2 – does power on the device, but if the device is already on, it does not turn it off. If I say “Yes” to the power on/off question and keep these settings, it will turn the device on with the TV, but you can’t control the volume of the TV, nor does it turn the device off when the TV is turned off.
