For your records
Now is a good time to record the serial number of your Acoustic Wave II CD changer here and on your product registration card. The serial number is located on the back panel. Serial number: _____________________________ Purchase date: _________________________________________ We suggest you keep your sales receipt and a copy of your product registration card together with this owners guide.
Setting Up Your Acoustic Wave II CD Changer Selecting a location for your music system and changer
English The Acoustic Wave II CD changer is designed to fit under your Acoustic Wave music system II. Before you connect the two, however, select a good location for the stacked units. When choosing the location, remember that the tonal quality of your Acoustic Wave music system II, as with any high-performance sound system, will vary with room placement. Feel free to try different locations, but keep the following guidelines in mind: The Acoustic Wave music system II is designed to sound best when placed on a shelf, counter, desk, or table top, 30 to 48 inches (75 to 120 cm) from the floor. The CD player in the Acoustic Wave music system II needs an allowance of several inches for the CD cover on top of the music system to open. The Acoustic Wave music system II should be near the center of a wall and 6 inches (15 cm), or less, away from the wall. To increase the bass response, move the unit toward any corner of the room; to decrease bass response, move it away from the corner. Franais Espaol
Seating your Acoustic Wave music system II on the CD changer
With the CD changer in your chosen location, carefully set your Acoustic Wave music system II on top of the CD changer (Figure 2a). Make sure the Acoustic Wave music system II fits onto the raised guides on top of the CD changer. Make sure the Acoustic Wave music system II sits flat and the side edges of both units are aligned. Make sure there is a clear optical path in front of the unit to allow the infrared emitters and receivers to communicate (Figure 2b). Figure 2

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

AWMDC_OG.book Page 14 Monday, May 5, 2003 11:03 AM
Using external components
Special requirement for adding a turntable To connect a turntable, you need to rst connect a phono preamplier (with RIAA equalization) to the changer. 1. 2. 3. Plug one end of the stereo audio cable into the output jacks of the preamplier. Plug the other end of the cable into one set of AUX IN jacks on your changer, matching red to the red jack marked R (right) and black or white to the white jack marked L (left). Plug the turntable cable into the preamplier.

CAUTION: Be sure to match the red plug to the red jack. This ensures proper polarity of the signal for an accurate balance of low-to-high frequencies.
Making the power connection last
When the additional components are connected, insert the multi-disc changer power plug into an AC power outlet.
Playing an auxiliary component
Note: To play a component connected to the changer, you must rst turn the component on. Neither of the Bose remote controls can turn an auxiliary component on or off, or change its settings or selections. With the component turned on, select it using the Acoustic Wave multi-disc changer remote control. Press the AUX1 or AUX2 button on the remote, as appropriate. This turns on the changer and the Acoustic Wave music system, so you can hear the component sound played through the system. Pressing AUX1 or AUX2 buttons on the changer console is another means of playing an auxiliary component connected to it. Figure 11
