SETUP
Introduction
Selecting a location for
your system
Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave® music
system Multi-CD Changer accessory.
Adding the Multi-CD Changer to your Wave® music
system provides you with some valuable benefits:
• A four-disc Wave® music system – Allows you to
load and play up to four audio CDs. Provides hours
of uninterrupted CD music.
Your Multi-CD Changer is designed to fit directly under
your Wave® music system. Before you connect the
Multi-CD Changer to the Wave® music system, select a
good location for the complete system using the follow-
ing guidelines.
• Place the system on a table or other flat surface.
• To enjoy maximum performance, place the system
across the room from where you will be listening.
• Elegant integrated pedestal design – Using the
same footprint as the Wave® music system, the
changer complements the elegance and simplicity
of the system.
• Place the system within two feet of a wall, and avoid
placing it directly in a corner.
• One integrated remote control – Provides the
simplicity of using the remote control that came with
your Wave® music system and one-touch selection of
all built-in sources.
CAUTION: DO NOT place your system on a heat-sensitive
surface. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some
heat.
• Multiple source switching – By adding two input
connections for external audio devices, you can enjoy
listening to one or two other audio sources in your
home through the Wave® music system.
CAUTION: DO NOT use your system in a damp location
or any other place where moisture can get inside.
Note: DO NOT place your system on a metal surface.
It could interfere with AM reception.
Unpacking the carton
Carefully unpack your Wave® music system Multi-CD
Changer and save all packing materials for possible
future use. The original packing materials provide the
safest way to transport your new Multi-CD Changer.
Seating your Wave® music
system on the Multi-CD
Changer
Make sure you received the parts shown in the following
diagram. If any part appears damaged, do not attempt
to use it. Notify Bose customer service immediately
(see phone numbers on the inside back cover).
With the changer placed in your chosen location, care-
fully set your Wave® music system on top of the changer.
• Make sure the rear feet of the Wave® music system fit
into the recesses on top of the changer.
• Make sure the Wave® music system sits flat and the
side edges of both units are aligned.

OPERATION
Connecting an external
audio source
Playing a connected audio
source
With the Multi-CD changer connected, any external
audio devices you may have used with your Wave®
music system can be connected to the back of the
Multi-CD changer. However, you now need a dual RCA
stereo cable.
The Wave® music system Multi-CD Changer provides
two rear panel inputs (AUX 1 and AUX 2) for external
audio devices such as TV, VCR, DVD player, cassette
player, or MP3 player. This gives you the advantage of
hearing Wave® music system sound from a range of
sources.
To listen to a connected source:
1. Turn on the external device.
2. Press AUX on the Wave® music system
remote control. Press AUX again to switch
between the AUX 1 and AUX 2 inputs. AUX 1
or AUX 2 appears on the display to confirm your
selection.
3. Adjust the volume using the Wave® music system
remote control.
Note: The Wave® music system remote control cannot
turn a connected AUX device on or off, or change its set-
tings or selections.
To connect a device, connect one end of the cable to the
audio output jacks of the source and the other end to
one of the AUX inputs on the changer. Be sure to match
the red and white plugs on the cable to the red (R) and
white (L) AUX jacks on the changer.
Note: Neither AUX 1 or AUX 2 can be selected as an
alarm source.
Connection example:

Use only a stereo connection. You will not hear
the connected device if just the left (L) or right (R)
