Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave® music system, an elegant way to bring high-quality sound into any room.

Over fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation bring you the benefits of award-winning proprietary acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently transfers energy from a small speaker to the outside air over a wide range of low frequencies. And long waveguides, folded into intricate patterns, fit into products small enough to be placed comfortably in your home.

Your Wave® music system features dual tapered waveguide speaker technology, connecting two speakers to two 26" (.7 m) tapered waveguides, which combine to produce unprecedented instrument timbre from a system this size.

Special Features

The wireless connection turns your computer into another music source

By plugging in the SoundLink™ USB key, you make the music files on your computer and Internet radio stations available to play on your Wave® music system.

For details, see "Using your computer as a music source" on page 8.

Playing MP3 CDs adds flexibility for enjoying your favorite music files

Your Wave® music system can play MP3 music files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs.

You can use the remote control to easily navigate through your MP3 files and play your favorites. For details, see "Navigating through MP3s" on page 12.

Alarm settings let you wake to your favorite radio station or CD track

You can set your Wave® music system to wake to your favorite CD track.

For more details, see "Using the alarm" on page 13.

The setup menu allows you to personalize system operation

Factory system settings have been set to satisfy most owners. If you wish to change the settings, see "Using the setup menu" on page 17.

The setup menu allows you to change the following system settings to your liking:

• Snooze time
• Play a radio station automatically after a CD ends

• Clock time format (12- or 24-hour)

• Display brightness level

• Bose® link room code
• Reset to factory settings

Unpacking

Please check the shipping carton for the following items:

Wave® music system

Power cable

Remote control (battery pre-installed)

Demonstration CD

SoundLink™ adapter

SoundLink™ USB key

Selecting a location

• For best performance, place your Wave® music system across the room from where you will be listening.
• Place it on a table or other flat surface and position it within 2 feet (.7 m) of a wall but away from a corner.
• Place the adapter in a convenient location. It does not need to be within view.

If the adapter is to the left of the system (as you face it), be sure the two are at least 2 in. (5 cm) apart to eliminate any interference with AM reception.

CAUTIONS:

• DO NOT place your Wave® music system on a metal surface, which could interfere with AM reception.
• Avoid placing it on a heat-sensitive surface. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some heat.
• Avoid placing it in a damp location or any other place where moisture can get inside.
• Placing the adapter close to a TV, refrigerator, fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps, dimmer switches, or other electronic equipment can cause electrical noise interference.

Connecting the Wave® music system

1. Insert the flat plug on the power cable into the connector labeled AC POWER on the rear panel of your Wave® music system.
2. Insert the plug at the other end of the cable into an electrical outlet.

1. Unwind and straighten the power cable to ensure the best FM reception. Your Wave® music system uses the power cord as an FM antenna.
2. Plug the SoundLink™ adapter cable (with the words Bose® link facing up) into the connector labeled Bose link on the rear of the Wave® music system.

Note: You can find information on using the adapter in "Listening to music on your computer" on page 8.

Making the wireless connection

1. Using the provided SoundLink™ remote control, press the SoundLink/AUX button to select the computer as the music source.
   Your Wave® system turns on and SOUNDLINK, CONNECTING, DISCOVERABLE appear in sequence on the front panel display.
2. With your computer turned on, lift the antenna on the SoundLink™ USB key to the vertical position and plug the key into a USB port on your computer.

Note: To locate a USB port on your computer, look for the identifying symbol .

If you are using a USB hub with your computer, make sure it is a powered hub.

1. Check to be sure the SoundLink™ USB key power light turns on and begins to flash.

1. Wait for your computer to recognize the SoundLink™ USB key. It can take up to 20 seconds the first time this occurs.

CONNECTING appears on the Wave® system display and lights on the USB key and SoundLink™ adapter flash rapidly. The lights stop blinking and the Wave® system emits a brief beep when the SoundLink™ then connection is ready for use.

To disconnect your Wave® music system from the computer:

Press the button on the end of the SoundLink™ USB key. Then you can remove the USB key from the computer USB port.

To reconnect to your Wave® music system:

When you plug the SoundLink USB key into the USB port on your computer, it should reconnect automatically to your Wave® music system. Make sure your system is turned on and COMPUTER appears on the system display.

If you have problems connecting, see "Troubleshooting" on page 22.

Note: During a power outage, stored presets are saved in a backup memory system for 48 hours.

TALK RADIO mode

Talk radio broadcasts can be greatly affected by either the microphone selection or the boosting of low frequencies by some radio stations. They do so in an attempt to improve speech when heard through conventional radios.

In high-quality audio products, this results in sound that is unnatural or bass heavy. By selecting the TALK RADIO mode, your Wave® music system automatically adjusts to compensate for artificially boosted low frequencies.

When the radio is playing, press Play Mode twice to turn the TALK RADIO mode on or off.

When on, TALK RADIO- ON is displayed.
When off, TALK RADIO- OFF is displayed.

Note: The TALK RADIO setting is automatically cancelled when you tune to another station, switch to another source, or turn your Wave® music system off.

Rear panel inputs/outputs

The rear panel of your Wave® music system provides connections for external equipment.

HEADPHONE

A 3.5 mm ('/8") stereo headphone connector. When headphones are connected, the Wave® music system speakers are muted.

Connecting an external FM antenna

The Wave® music system power cord includes a built-in FM antenna. If you experience poor reception after adjusting the position of the power cord, you may need to use an external FM antenna. An external FM dipole antenna can be ordered through Bose Customer Service. See the phone numbers listed inside the back cover of this guide.
