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.
