Other Components
Using other components
Use your Wave® radio to improve the sound of a CD player, cassette deck, or TV. Or add powered Bose® speakers. You can also use your Wave® radio as extension speakers for the Bose Lifestyle® music system. Most audio cables are available at electronics stores. Or call Bose.
Most audio cables are color coded. Match the red plugs to the right (red) jack and the black or white plugs to the left (white) jack.
