Turning on a Bose speaker without the remote can be done in several ways. Here are five methods you can try:
1. Enable the “Auto-wake” feature: Many Bose speakers and soundbars have an Auto-wake feature that allows them to turn on automatically when they detect an audio signal. To enable this feature, you will need to access the settings on your speaker. Consult the user manual for your specific model to find out how to enable Auto-wake.
2. Use your mobile phone as a remote: If your Bose speaker supports Bluetooth connectivity, you can use your mobile phone as a remote control. Simply pair your phone with the speaker and use the controls on your phone to turn it on. This method is particularly useful if you have the Bose Connect app installed on your phone, as it provides additional control options.
3. Pair your Bose speakers with a universal remote: If you have a universal remote that supports Bose devices, you can pair it with your speaker to turn it on. Consult the user manual of your universal remote to find out how to pair it with Bose speakers. Once paired, you can use the power button on the universal remote to turn on your Bose speaker.
4. Update your speaker firmware: Bose regularly releases firmware updates for their speakers, which may include new features and improvements. Updating your speaker’s firmware can sometimes enable alternative power-on methods. To update the firmware, visit the official Bose website and download the latest firmware file for your speaker model. Follow the instructions provided by Bose to install the update.
5. Turn on “Power Sync”: Some Bose speakers and soundbars have a feature called Power Sync, which allows them to automatically turn on or off in sync with your TV or other connected devices. To use this feature, you will need to connect your speaker to the TV using an HDMI cable and enable Power Sync in the speaker’s settings. Refer to the user manual for your specific model to learn how to enable Power Sync.
Remember, these methods may vary depending on the specific model of your Bose speaker. It’s always a good idea to consult the user manual or contact Bose customer support for assistance if you’re unsure about any steps.
