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'scompact 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
