John, I would recommend using a Niles WS110R sensor with the Niles MSU140 and MF1VF to complete your system. This would allow you to wall mount the input sensor for you cable box.

Arun,
The Bose V30 system will support digital 5.1 decoding. The HDMI version is 1.3a.

Dan,
Using a Bose VCS-10 with your current Bose Lifestyle 35 system would not be ideal. The Lifestyle systems have the crossover network already built into the amp for the speakers that come with them.

HI, I am interested in purchasing the VCS-10 bose center speaker?? My question is will the VCS-10 work with my Lifestyle 35 currently? I am wanting to replace my tiny jewel cube center speakers with the VCS-10 to get a deeper bass sound in the voices..WIll it work if connected to the Acoustimass Module from my lifestyle 35?? Any info would be appreciated..Is there any options to replace my jewel dual cubes center speakers with something a little better? I mean, the jewel cubes are great, loud and perfect clarity, just need a little deeper tones at times. Any inpo would be appreciated. Thanks

Brian,
With the Bose Acoustimass 16 system you will need to run the wires through the Acoustimass module. I would not recommend running them straight to the receiver. To hook up your monster wire you can use one of our Bose speaker wire adapters.

I recently purchased an acoustimass 16 series II system. Bose advises not to hook the speakers up directly to the receiver, rather to terminate through the acoustimass. I plan on buying a high end receiver from Denon on Yamaha. Should I hook the speakers up directly to my receiver or go through the acoustimass? I have already run my heavy gauge in-wall Monster speaker wire and I didn’t know the acoustimass doesn’t have a left and right terminal connection for the speaker wire. How can I solve this problem? Thanks for your help.

Jason,
It sound like you may be having a problem with the copyright guard from the HDMI cable. This gets to be pretty technical. I would suggest contact Bose technical support for this one. The phone number for them is 1-800-905-2138.

I just purchased the Bose V30 system. I have my satellite/dvr connected via HDMI through the SBL/SAT input and my Vista Computer connected via HDMI through the DVD input. I then have the Bose Media Center connected to my tv via the HDMI tv output.

I am having issues with the video/audio from my computer. It is a Vista machine that is set up as a Home Theater PC to play music, movies, and act as a computer in general. For some reason, the Bose Media Center is sporadically picking up the video/audio from the computer.

It will work perfectly, and then I will change screens on the computer and then it drops the connection. I have had this computer connected directly to the TV via HDMI and it has worked flawlessly. For example, I can have a movie playing and it will work PERFECTLY. If I close that window and go to the regular computer desktop, the connection gets dropped and the Bose Display says “No Video Detected”. I have changed cables to ensure that it is not a cable issue. I have also plugged in the computer/HDMI cable into the CBL/SAT input to try to determine if it was the HDMI connector on the back of the Bose Media Center that might be defective. Neither seem to be.

There seems like there should be no reason for the Bose Media Center not to play nice with the Vista computer. It should simply receive a video/audio signal through the HDMI cable from any device and then push it onto the TV.

Two Groups of Questions:
1. Are you aware of any compatibility issues with computers? Is the Bose system confirmed to support a computer as an input device? What should I select in the set up window from the list of devices for the “DVD Input” since computer is not an option? I wouldn’t think it matters - I have cable selected now since that seemed to be the most generic. Is there a better option if it matters?

2. Also, does the Bose Lifestyle V30 work/can it be controlled via a Harmony 890 Universal Remote? I haven’t gone here yet since I am having basic troubles, but hopefully will if I get my computer issue resolved and I remember reading about this maybe being an issue with the Bose IR receiver and the Harmony IR remote not playing nice together.

Thanks so much in advance. You guys have a great website and appreciate any insight.
