Bose Universal Remote Codes for Sanyo TV

You’ve invested in the rich, immersive sound of a Bose system. The final step to creating a truly seamless home theater is making its elegant remote the single point of control for your entire setup, including your Sanyo TV. Consolidating functions like power, input, and volume onto your Bose remote is key to a simplified, high-end experience.

This guide provides the specific instructions and codes to program your Bose universal remote for your Sanyo TV, covering both modern app-based remotes and older models.

First, Identify Your Bose System & Remote

The programming method depends entirely on which Bose system you own.

1. Modern Bose Systems (Bose Smart Soundbars 300/600/900, Soundbar 500/700): If your remote is small, sleek, and came with a soundbar that you set up using your phone, you have a modern system. All programming is done through the Bose Music app. You will not need to manually enter codes.
2. Older Bose Systems (Bose Solo, SoundTouch, CineMate, Lifestyle): If your remote is larger with more buttons (including a number pad), it likely came with an older soundbar or home theater system. This type of remote is typically programmed by manually entering a 4 or 5-digit code.

Find your system type below and follow the corresponding instructions.

Programming via the Bose Music App (For Modern Soundbars)

For current-generation Bose soundbars, the remote is programmed as part of the initial soundbar setup. If you need to add your Sanyo TV later or reconfigure the remote, follow these steps.

1. Ensure Proper Connection: Make sure your Bose soundbar is connected to your Sanyo TV’s HDMI ARC port with a high-quality HDMI cable. This connection is vital for features like power and volume synchronization.
2. Open the Bose Music App: Launch the app on your smartphone or tablet.
3. Navigate to Remote Settings: Tap on the image of your soundbar in the bottom-right corner. Select Settings, then go to Universal Remote.
4. Configure Your TV:
   • The app will likely show that it already controls the soundbar. Select the TV option to configure it.
   • You will be prompted to enter the brand of your TV. Type Sanyo.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions. The app will ask you to confirm that you are using the correct HDMI ARC input.
   • The app will then automatically test a series of commands (like volume or mute). Follow the prompts, answering “Yes” or “No” until you find a configuration that successfully controls your Sanyo TV.

The app handles finding the correct code automatically. Once you confirm a working setup, the remote is programmed.

Method 2: Manual Programming Using Sanyo TV Codes (For Older Remotes)

If you have a Bose Solo, SoundTouch, or similar system, you’ll need to manually program the remote with a code.

Bose Remote Codes for Sanyo TV

Have your remote handy and start with the first code on the list.

Code Type	Sanyo TV Codes
5-Digit	10154, 11142, 11269, 12361, 12434
4-Digit	0154, 0498, 1142, 2361

Step-by-Step Programming Instructions

1. Power On Your TV: Turn on your Sanyo TV.
2. Enter Programming Mode: On your Bose remote, press and hold the TV button until all six source buttons light up, then release. Only the TV button will remain lit.
3. Enter the Code: Using the number pad, enter the first 5-digit code from the list above (start with 10154). The source buttons will blink off after each digit.
4. Confirm the Code: After entering the final digit, the TV button will blink and turn off if the code is valid.
5. Test the Remote: Aim the remote at your Sanyo TV and press the Power button. The TV should turn off. Now, test the Volume and Input buttons.

If the first code doesn’t work, repeat steps 2-5 with the next code on the list.

Troubleshooting Common Bose and Sanyo Integration Issues

• Remote Controls Power but Not Volume: This is almost always an HDMI-CEC issue. On your Sanyo TV, go to the Settings > System menu and ensure the CEC feature (may be called “Funai Link”) is enabled. In the Bose Music app, ensure CEC is also turned on. This allows the TV and soundbar to communicate volume commands correctly.
• The App Can’t Find/Control the TV: Double-check that you are plugged into the HDMI ARC port on your Sanyo TV, not a standard HDMI port. This special port is required for seamless integration.
• Manual Code Search (for Older Remotes): If no codes work, you can use the search function. Repeat Step 2 above, but instead of entering a code, press the Volume Up button repeatedly. The remote will cycle through codes. When the TV turns off, immediately press the Exit button to lock in the code.

Conclusion

You’ve now successfully bridged the gap between your Sanyo TV’s video and your Bose system’s premium audio. By pairing your remote, you’ve unified your home theater, placing the full command of your entertainment setup into one elegant and intuitive device. No more searching for the right remote for volume or power—just seamless control.
