You can use the Wave/PC unit as extension speakers for an external audio source, such as a tape or CD player. Connect the external source to the right and left AUX IN jacks (Figure 43). Most audio cables are color coded. Match the red plug to the R (red) jack and the black or white plug to the L (white) jack. For cable information, see “Input connection details” on page 52.

Selecting an external audio source

Right-click on the blue background of the Wave/PC application window and select Source>Aux, or press the AUX button on the control panel of the Wave/PC unit. “AUX source” should appear in the information window (Figure 44).

Adjust the listening volume with the Volume buttons. Control all other functions of the exter- nal source, including on/off, at the source, referring to its owner’s manual, if necessary.

Connecting external speakers to your Wave/PC unit

You can connect Bose® powered speakers to the right and left VARIABLE OUT jacks (located below the AUX IN jacks) on the rear panel of the Wave/PC unit. Most audio cables are color

VARIABLE OUT coded. Using the cable you received with the speakers, connect the red plug to the R (red) jack and the black or white plug to the L (white) jack. If your speaker cable has three connec-

tors on each end, use only the two connectors that look alike. DO NOT USE THE THIRD CONNECTOR.

Note: Connecting cables to the VARIABLE OUT jacks shuts off the speakers in the Wave/PC unit.
