Can not control our Bose 321 sound system with the Directv remote RC73

Can not control our Bose 321 sound system with the Directv remote RC73. We programmed it using the onscreen Directv menu and even saw the Bose 321 as a choice.

We appreciate your patience @hank33, We are here to help you connect your Direct TV remote to your Bose sound bar.

 

To get started,

  • First connect your Direct TV remote to your TV.
  • Ensure the Direct TV remote is in RF mode during the connection process.
  • Using the HDMI / AUX cable connect the TV to the Sound Bar.

It is important to know the following;

  • The Genie / Universal remotes will not turn on/off any soundbars or A/V receivers.
  • The Genie / Universal remotes will only control the volume.
  • The Genie / Universal  remotes are made to be programed in RF mode and it should give you the option to program an audio device after you program in a TV.  

You can check for more information on how to program your TV and Soundbars here.

 

Let us know if you need further assistance.

We can help with your remote pairing @hank33.

  1. Press and hold Setup on the remote until all five source buttons light up.
  2. Press the desired source button.
  3. On the remote keypad, enter the first device code for your brand of SAT box.
  4. Check that the source button blinks twice and turns off after the code is entered. 

We have more remote programming help here.

 

Let us know how that works.

There is no “Setup” button on this remote.

Our apologies for that, @hank33.

 

  1. Press MENU on your remote.
  2. Select Settings>Remote Control>Program Remote.
  3. Choose the device (TV,audio,DVD) you wish to program. If you don't see your TV or device listed, use the code lookup tool to find the 5-digit code.
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete programming.

These instructions are correct. When I had to pair & program a new remote I selected Bose 321. I didn't see at first that there was another choice further down the menu for 321GS which is more correct and is the one that works for just the volume. I don't know why 321 and 321GS weren't next to each other! Thank you.
