I have a Lifestyle 28 system, was working fine in one room until i needed to move it. Moved all the speakers, spent ages fixing them to the new walls etc. then connected them all up to the acoustimass module and nothing. Checked all the cables, nothing.
I think it may be the connection from the main receiver unit to the acoustimass module. I connected the receiver to another amp via a digital optic cable and it all worked OK, so I know that some sound is capable of coming out of the unit!
Have looked at the bottom of the acoustimass module, when I power it up the orange LED where the connector cable blinks a few times then goes out. The green one then blinks every 5 seconds or so. If these work like a Network cable in a computer then I am guessing this indicates there is a problem! I would have expected the orange light to stay on, to show a connection and the green one to blink when data was sent. Can anyone confirm if this is what happens?
Any ideas what could be wrong? I would like to try a new cable, but I now live in London, so can't get hold of one very easily!
have you called Bose? They will probably give you more help than we will in here. Most of us are not fans of the Bose Lifestyle (or Acoustimass) systems, and as such are not familiar with the inner workings of these systems.
I hope it is not one of those puny little transformers. You will need something more substantial than those. Check the specs of the unit and ensure that your transformer is meeting the needs of its current draw.
Nope, it is a proper transformer, 3 plug output, weighs about 5 pounds!
I can't remember the specs but the output was far in excess of the requirements of the Bose (I have a Masters in Electronics sp I knew to check that!).
I was hoping someone may have had a similar issue and resolved it, I really don't want to get to the stage of pulling the thing apart to check the internals!
