I need help here, can someone tell me what are their differences between this 2 and if they have RF capability inbuild?

I have a Bose system and am not sure if there is an RF feature in the pronto and it can be a replacement to the bose remote?. Thanks a million

This has been asked a lot. Try a search on "7500".

The RF is used to communicate with the RFX6500 Extender. You cannot control RF devices with a 7000/7500.

What bose system do you have. Some have the feture that you could let it accept IR instead of RF. If you give us you Model number for the Bose you would recieve better help, but once you switch the Bose to IR(if available) then you can learn the codes from the remote.

If you have a Lifestyle system there is a menu setting that allows the Bose headunit to accept IR commands.

It can also output commands for learning purposes but this is not a good way to go about it. The IR blaster on the Bose system can cause problems with the learning process. I have had much more reliable results using clean generated codes. Let me know the model number and the codes you desire and I might be able to help.

Regarding the RF... Bose is propriatary. You can not use the Pronto to communicate directly via RF with the Bose unit. You can use a Pronto RFX6500 with the Pronto to send signal wirelessly but out of the RFX6500 receiver it is all IR. You will have to attach an emitter near the center of the Lifestyle unit below the disc drive door. The receiver is located somewhere behind the lower black trim strip.

If you have a CD20 or a Lifestyle 40/50 with an MRI.... different story!!!

i have a very old bose lifestyle system 5 music media, i am not sure if it has any dip switches that i can change to see if it can receive IR signals. Anyone knows?
Thanks
