### How to Check Your Remote Version

If you don’t have or lost the remote manual and code booklet that comes with your remote, use these steps to find out the version of your remote and know whether it uses 4-digit or 5-digit codes.

1. First, remove the battery door from the back side of the remote.
2. Now, remove the batteries from the remote.
3. In the battery compartment, find the part number that starts with 714543- which is followed by a four-digit number.
   - If the last two numbers are 20 (e.g. 714543-1020), your remote uses 4-digit codes.
   - If the last two numbers are 30 (e.g. 714543-1030), your remote uses 5-digit codes.
4. Select the appropriate Code Type in the above-given code lookup tool to find a compatible code for your remote.

## How to Program Bose Universal Remote

To illustrate the programming procedure, we will be using the Bose CineMate GS series II remote control. Though it comes with Bose home theater equipment, it can be used to control up to 5 video/ audio devices such as your TV, DVD, Blu-ray player, and other sources by programming it with a compatible remote code so that you can enjoy the convenience of using only one remote control for all your devices. So let’s program it.

1. Manually turn on your device (TV, DVD, etc.).
2. Find out the device code(s) for your particular device using the code lookup tool provided above.
3. Press and hold the Setup button on the remote until all 5 source buttons light up.
4. Press the Source button (eg. TV). Now only that particular button will remain lit.
5. On the remote keypad, enter the remote code for your device (If there are multiple codes, start with the first one).
6. Check whether the Source button (eg. TV) blinks twice and turns off after the code is entered.
7. Aim the remote at your device and press the On-Off button corresponding to the device. If your device does not respond or has limited functionality, go back to step 1 and try another code available for your device.

Note: During programming, the five source buttons will flash rapidly three times if you press an invalid key or enter an unavailable device code. If this happens, go back to Step 1 and start over.

After programming your remote to control an external device, press the source or device button on the remote to tell it which device you want to control. For instance, if you want to control your DVD, press the DVD button first and then press the buttons you want to control on the device.

### How to Control a Combination Device

If you want to program the remote to control a combination device that has more than one source, such as a VCR/DVD unit, you can program the combination code into either remote control source. You may find it convenient to program the code twice. Once for the VCR and once for the DVD.

To find the right device code, first look for the COMBO listings in the code lookup tool. If you cannot find a valid code there, then search the listings for individual device types (TV, CBL, VCR, DVD, etc.).

So that’s it, friends. We hope that you got a clear picture of programming your Bose remote control.
