Placement guidelines

To avoid interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft.

(0.3 – 0.9 m) away from your system. Place your system outside and away from metal cabinets, and direct heat sources.

To enjoy maximum audio performance:

• Place the system across the room from your listening area.

• Place the system within two feet of a wall and avoid placing it directly in a corner.

• Place the system on a stable and level surface.

• Do NOT place your system on top of audio/video equipment

(receivers, TVs, etc.), any other object that may generate heat or a metal surface. Heat generated by these items may result in poor system performance or interference with AM reception.

• Do NOT use the system in a damp location or any other place where moisture can get inside.

• Do NOT place any objects on top of your system.

• Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.

Notes:

• Artist name and song title information appear on the display when available on music file CDs.

• The audio quality of MP3 CDs depends on factors such as the encoded bit rate, the sampling rate and the type of encoder used.

The system supports MP3 CDs encoded at bit rates of 64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. Bose recommends that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling rate of 44.1kHz or better be used.

• Playback quality of recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs depends on the CD recording process and software used to record the disc. An improperly recorded audio CD may cause the system to exhibit unexpected behavior.

To obtain the correct cable, contact Bose customer service or visit a local electronics store.

1. Using a cable, connect your audio device to the

AUX IN

connector on the system’s connector panel.

CAUTION: Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing

damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume when using headphones, especially for extended periods.

Notes:

• The system speakers are muted when you plug in your

headphones and unmuted when you disconnect the headphones.

Because headphone volume levels may vary from speaker volume levels, lower the volume of the system before connecting or

Note: If the volume level of the system cannot be adjusted

high enough, increase the volume level of the connected audio device.

Connect to an external antenna

The system’s power cord is used as an antenna for FM radio. If, after adjusting the position of the power cord, you still experience poor reception, you may need to install an external antenna. An external dipole antenna can be ordered through Bose Customer Service.

Visit global.Bose.com/Support/WSTIV for contact information.

1. Insert the 3.5 mm plug of the FM antenna into the

FM ANTENNA

connector on the rear of the system.

2. Extend the ends of the antenna as far from the unit and other external equipment as possible to establish optimum reception.

FM antenna connector

Note: Many FM radio stations transmit a vertically polarized signal

as well as, or instead of, a horizontally polarized signal. If the horizontal antenna orientation does not provide good

reception, try hanging the antenna in a vertical orientation.
