It would seem to be a "broken system" thanks for
the quick response.
If it's broken, it may or may not be worth sending to the "Mountain" for a repair estimate... They cost a lot to bogin with, and because they have a nice little variable loudness EQ curve built in to the Built-In and Lifestyle models, they aren't so bad when they are working properly.
I wouldn't recommend buying another one, but since you already have this one, you may want to get it fixed.
The problem with Built-In is that they have changed design now several times, and the earlier generations are not compatible in any way with the newer stuff.
So not only do they prevent you from interconnecting to traditional products as you wish, they prevent you from upgrading ANY part of the system!!
Every part has to be Bose Built-In, and every part has to be from the same generation.
They don't even WIRE the same, Bose is pretty stupid like that.
I hope your installers pulled redundant wire for a traditional system when they wired for the Bose system...
All this, PLUS they throw their weight around with the stupid lawsuit on CEDIA.. Why is it again that I will never sell Bose??
