  If there is no sound from your Bose Home Theater System, try these steps: First, increase the volume. Next, check if the MUTE function is on; if it is, press the MUTE button on the remote. Ensure the audio input cable and multi-pin connector are firmly connected to the music center and Acoustimass module, respectively. Check all speaker connections. You can also try turning the music center off for ten seconds and then on again. Verify the connections for external components and select the correct source. Ensure the CD is correctly placed, label-side up, and the magazine is properly inserted. Disconnect any headphones and connect the FM and AM antennas.

  If the remote control for your Bose Home Theater System is inconsistent or not working, check the batteries and their polarity (+ and –). Try operating the remote closer to the music center. Also, move the remote or the music center a few feet to avoid potential dead spots. Ensure the audio input cable is firmly seated, uncoiled, and extended as much as possible. Finally, verify that the remote control and music center house codes match.

  If your Bose Home Theater System CD player isn't working, check if the play symbol is lit in the display. After pressing the CD key, wait a few seconds before pressing PLAY.
