Hi I just recently bought a used Bose Cinemate Series 2
It did not have the remote it dose power on I bought the Bose universal remote I don't know if I have to sink the remote to the bose system or what I tried messing with it a little bit but can't power on the bose system any suggestions is there a certain code I need I've looked online but there's only steps to sink your other devices to the universal remote. Or do I just purchase the small remote that actually comes with the unit instead of the universal one.
Hello BrianRavine,
Thanks for choosing Bose and welcome to the community.
I would love to help you to get the system up and running with the remote. The handy steps here allow you to pair the remote with the system. There is also a lot of great steps here to show you how to get the most from your system.
Do let me know if you have any other questions.
Just to clarify, the "universal remote" or "soundbar remote" that is currently in circulation will not work with the Cinemate series.
As the links above you need one of the PWS remotes. There is no syncing that needs to be done. Because it's an IR remote it just works or it doesn't. The only setup you would have to do is to control the connected TV/DVDplayer etc.
