Setting Up Selecting a location for your music system and changer
The Acoustic Wave multi-disc changer is designed to t right under your Acoustic Wave music system. Before you connect the two, however, select a good location for the stacked units. CAUTION: Setting up the two units separately (on different shelves of an entertainment center, for example) is not recommended. Doing so will prevent proper communication between the two and will adversely affect operation. When choosing the location, remember that the tonal quality of your Acoustic Wave music system, as with any high-performance sound system, will vary with room placement. Feel free to try different locations, but keep in mind that The Acoustic Wave music system is designed to sound best when placed on a shelf, counter, desk, or table top, 30 to 48 inches (75-120 cm) from the oor. The CD player in the Acoustic Wave music system needs an allowance of several inches for the CD cover on top of the music system to open. The music system should be near the horizontal center of a wall and 6 inches (15 cm) or less from the surface behind it. To increase the bass response, move the unit toward any corner of the room; to decrease bass response, move it away from the corner.
Seating your Acoustic Wave music system on the multi-disc changer
1. 2. Place the multi-disc changer in the location you have chosen, following the guidelines above. Carefully seat your Acoustic Wave music system on top of the changer (Figure 2a). Make sure that it sits at and the side edges of both units are aligned (Figure 2b).
Note: The music system slips onto raised guides on top of the changer. Figure 2

Using External Components Connecting other sound sources
This new changer provides a hub for other component connections. CAUTION: Before connecting additional components, and to protect your components from damage, be sure to unplug the multi-disc changer from the AC (mains) wall outlet if it is plugged in.
Choose the component(s) you want to connect
Additional RCA input jacks allow you to connect other audio or video components to the multi-disc changer. This gives you the advantage of hearing Acoustic Wave music system sound from a range of sources. They can include a TV, VCR, cassette player, or DVD player, for example. Note: To connect an Acoustic Wave microphone, use the MIC jack on the rear of the Acoustic Wave music system. The multi-disc changer is not designed for use with a microphone. Steps for adding other components: Use the RCA cable supplied with the component. Note: If your component is mono, or does not include an RCA output cable, you may need to purchase an adaptor. Call Bose Product and Technical Services,1-800-367-4008, for details. 1. 2. Insert both connectors at one end of that cable into AUDIO OUT jacks on the rear of the component (Figure 10). Insert both connectors at the other end of the cable into one pair of AUX jacks on the multi-disc changer.
CAUTION: Be sure to match the red plug to the red jack. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for any other components you want to connect. Figure 10
