Reset the Media Center

- Wait two minutes

Note: If a VS-1 or VS-2 video enhancer is connected, disconnect its power cord - After 30 seconds, reconnect the power cord and wait for "Bose Lifestyle" to appear and disappear from the display

Resetting the uMusic software:
Before you begin:
- A uMusic reset erases preset/uStation ratings and preferences
- Playlists will not be erased
- If you changed any music information (artist, album or track labels) from the original labels the system showed when they were originally stored, those changes will be reverted back to the original labels prior to your changes. However, if you entered music information (artist, album or track labels) for tracks that showed no information when they were originally stored, those changes will not be affected.
To reset uMusic:
- Power off your system
- On the back of the system console, unplug the power cord
- On the console, press and hold the All Off and Volume Down buttons and, while continuing to hold them, reconnect the power cord
- Continue holding the buttons: After Bose Lifestyle disappears on the console display, wait five seconds, then release the buttons
- On the remote control, press the Stored button: The console display shows Stored - Please Wait Starting Up
- Wait until the message disappears and your stored music begins playing for at least 5 seconds, then press the On/Off button
Note: This can take up to an hour depending on the amount of music stored on your system. During this time, your system cannot be used - Wait about 30 seconds, then press the Stored button on the remote.
Advanced Troubleshooting
If the standard reset does not resolve your issue, try the Factory Reset/Default
Restore Factory Settings
This resets your system to its factory configuration. Unless indicated otherwise, all settings cleared and are reverted to their original out-of-box state. After, your product can be configured as if it were being setup for the first time. This can be done using the system menu on your TV or, if video is not connected, using the buttons on your system.
How would you like to Factory Reset your system?
Using the on-screen menu
Note: When factory settings are restored on your system:
- Only the Settings menu options are effected (i.e. center and surround speaker levels, speaker mode and audio processing settings). System menu options (i.e. remote codes and video format settings) are not affected.
- Playlist and uStation names for music stored on your system will be reset; however, their contents will not be reset.
- On the remote control, press the System button. (Tip: If the system menu does not appear on your TV, be sure the correct TV input is selected)
- Scroll right to select Media Center, then press the Enter button
- Scroll down to select Restore Settings, then press the Enter button
- Scroll up to select Yes, then press the Enter button: The display shows Have you been instructed to do this?
- Scroll left to select Yes, then press the Enter button
- Press the Exit button to exit the menu.
Using the system buttons
- Turn the system off. Wait until “Saving your music information” disappears from the display
- Disconnect the media center power cord from the power outlet
- Press and hold the "Open/Close" and "Store" buttons on the media center
- While holding those buttons, plug the power cord back into the power outlet
- Continue holding those buttons until "BOSE LIFESTYLE" disappears from the media center display
- With the system still off, press and hold the "Enter" button
- Press the "Store" button until "Flash Commit" appears on the media center display
- Release the "Enter" button
- Press the "Volume Up" arrow
The media center will reset again and return with "BOSE LIFESTYLE" on the display. This message should disappear after approximately 5 seconds, and the media center should operate normally
Note: If TV video format is set to PAL, it may default back to NTSC. It will need to be changed back to PAL following the reset.
