Emir,

I went to the Bose site and looked at the info on the two new lifestyle systems. Although I can only go by what is there, my conclusion is that this is a one-way street. In other words, you can use your Bose remote via the Bose receiver to transmit IR codes to IR source components but that will not help us. We need the receiver to receive IR codes, not transmit them.

Further, I don't like these new systems even for the purpose intended. It appears that the Bose remote still transmits only RF so that probably means that the RF codes for the TV, VCR, DVD, etc have to be built in and they are converted to IR for retransmission at the receiver. This, in turn, means two important things: 1) the Bose remote is probably not a "learning" remote; 2) the Bose receiver probably has to be placed where it can "see" the IR receivers in the other components which would cause an installation nightmare. Admittedly I'm guessing on this stuff but in any event it is not what we are looking for.

Regards,
AJ
