Setting Up

Before you begin

Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave® Radio/CD.

Fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation bring you the benefits of award-winning patented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently transfers energy from a small loudspeaker to the outside air over a whole range of bass notes. And, by folding long waveguides into intricate patterns, they fit into products small enough to be placed comfortably in your home. There is a 27-inch (68-cm) long waveguide inside the Wave Radio/CD’s compact enclosure, enabling this tabletop system to produce room-filling sound with full, rich bass.

Your Wave Radio/CD includes:

•Integrated system design for high acoustic quality requiring no complex adjustments

•A high performance stereo tuner with 6 AM and 6 FM station presets

•A CD player including skip, scan, random, repeat, and programming features

•Two independent alarms, with battery backup power to save the settings for wakeup during a power loss

•A credit card-size infrared remote control with optional mounting strip

•Inputs for an additional sound source, such as a TV, VCR, computer, or tape player

To discover how easy it is to use your new Wave Radio/CD, follow the steps on the Quick Set Up Guide and play the demonstration CD. Like most functions, it can be done with the press of a single button. Some special functions are available by pressing button combinations (for details, see page 28).

To fully appreciate all of these features, please take the time to follow this owner’s guide carefully. It helps you set up and operate your system, and enjoy its high-fidelity sound.

Bose radios are also designed with aesthetic appeal in mind. Their sleek and modern styling complements various home decor, making them not just audio devices but also stylish home accessories. The build quality is robust, ensuring durability and longevity, which is a hallmark of Bose products.

Battery life is another important consideration for many consumers. Many Bose radios offer extended playtime on battery power, alongside the option for rechargeable batteries, making them suitable for both home use and portable travel.

In summary, Bose radios combine exceptional sound quality, innovative technology, and user-friendly design.
