Regulating A Bose Lifestyle Without A Remote?

The Bose Soundbar can be controlled with simple voice commands by connecting it to a compatible voice control device like Amazon Echo or Google Home. To program the remote for the Lifestyle® 650 home entertainment system, follow the programming instructions provided with your universal remote. For the Bose® Lifestyle® V35 home entertainment system, use the Bose SoundTech app, which is compatible with iOS and can also be used to control other Bose sound systems.

To turn on your Bose Soundbar without a remote control, use the control buttons on the Soundbar itself. Most Bose Soundbars come equipped with a power button, but using the Bose SoundTech app or the Bose SoundTouch app allows you to control your system without a remote. Power on your system by pressing and holding the Power button for 10 seconds on the system console and simultaneously pressing and holding the Glow button on the remote control.

To control your BOSE 500 soundbar, use the BOSE Music app on your smartphone or tablet. In the Bose Music app, go to My Products and scroll down to IR Control. Connect the IR emitter to the IR jack on the back of the Soundbar.

To program a universal remote to control your Bose system, follow the programming instructions provided with your universal remote. The Lifestyle 35 and 28 can also be controlled by an IR remote by enabling this feature from the on-screen menu.
