Michael,

It will take the system a couple of minutes to boot up and start working. It should not take 15 min. though. I would call Bose on this problem. They can be reached at 1-800-999-2673.

When I power up my new V25 system console it takes several minutes before the Bose remote will control the connected Comcast DVR or my Blu ray player. I have to wait 10 to 15 minutes, then it works fine. All the devices are in a stack in the same cabinet. I have tried placing IR emitters but that does not help. I have updated the the Bose software to the latest version. I have reprogrammed the remote several times. It seems the system needs these minutes to ‘warm up’. Is this normal?

Greg,

With the New Bose V Series Lifestyles you can only use and HDMI connection to your TV. You may be able to purchase a converter box of some sort to convert the HDMI into a format you have.

Jason, The Bose Lifestyle V35 Jewel Cube speakers do have an advantage over the V25 speakers. They use design innovations such as a nautilus-shaped port and Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology to deliver more open, spacious sound throughout the listening area. If you need help with an order please contact us at 1-866-224-6171.

I am debating between the V35 and V25 systems. Is there a real difference between the speakers as in quality of sound or is size the only real difference.

Thank you,
Jason

Is there are picture of the V25 back panel with a description of what numbered section is. This is not in the hand books with the equipment.

I just purchased a Bose V35 system and am having trouble programming the Bose to recognize both my Samsung LED TV and DirecTV HD+DVR (both purchased in 2010) controllers. The only other controller I could sync was my Sony DVD/CD changer (purchased in 2002). Is it possible my TV and satellite components are too new?!

Additionally, when running my DirecTV HD through the Bose V35 with HDMI, the signal clarity is degraded severely (definitely no longer HD). I switched back to running my satellite signal directly to the TV with HDMI, and skipping the Bose component. Am I setting something up incorrectly, or do I need to purchase a higher quality HDMI cable besides the one that came with my Bose system in order to keep the true HD signal? Thanks for the help.
