Setting Up Your Multi-Disc Changer

Before you begin...

Thank you for selecting the Bose ® Acoustic Wave ® multi-disc changer, designed as an accessory for the Acoustic Wave ® music system. As a high-quality solution for your multi-disc needs, the changer also provides an attractive pedestal for the system and a connection hub for auxiliary components.

Choosing the convenient option of connecting other sound sources to the changer allows you to enjoy the full impact of their sound through your Acoustic Wave ® music system.

Benefits of the multi-disc changer

• Hours of uninterrupted CD play

• New multi-disc remote control, that provides simplified, all-in-one system operation

• One button press turns on the changer, FM or AM radio or CD, or selects an auxiliary component

• Compact design that complements the lines of your Acoustic Wave ® music system

• Option of hearing auxiliary audio sources through your Acoustic Wave ® music system

• Quality construction and performance

Unpacking the carton

Carefully unpack your Acoustic Wave ® music system multi-disc changer. Save all packing materials for possible future use. The original packing materials provide the safest way to transport your new multi-disc changer.

Check to be sure you received the parts identified in Figure 1. If any part of the product appears damaged, do not attempt to use it. Notify Bose customer service immediately (see phone numbers on the inside back cover).

Setting Up

Selecting a location for your music system and changer

The Acoustic Wave ® multi-disc changer is designed to fit 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 floor.

• 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.

Place the multi-disc changer in the location you have chosen, following the guidelines above.

2.

Carefully seat your Acoustic Wave ® music system on top of the changer (Figure 2a). Make sure that it sits flat and the side edges of both units are aligned (Figure 2b).

Note: The music system slips onto raised guides on top of the changer.

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.

1.

Insert both connectors at one end of that cable into AUDIO OUT jacks on the rear of the component (Figure 10).

2.

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.

AWMDC_OG.book Page 14 Monday, September 8, 2003 2:33 PM

Using external components

Special requirement for adding a turntable

To connect a turntable, you need to first connect a phono preamplifier (with RIAA equalization) to the changer.

1.

Plug one end of the stereo audio cable into the output jacks of the preamplifier.

2.

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).

3.

Plug the turntable cable into the preamplifier.

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 first 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.

• Make sure the power cord for the Acoustic Wave ® multi-disc changer is completely plugged in both at the changer jack and at the wall outlet.

• If the Acoustic Wave ® multi-disc changer or a component connected to it is playing, make sure that AUX is displayed as the selection on the Acoustic Wave ® music system display.

• If the sound source is an auxiliary component connected to the multi-disc changer, make sure that component is plugged in and turned on.

• Make sure that both the Acoustic Wave ® multi-disc changer and the Acoustic Wave ® music system are plugged into functioning power outlets, and are turned on.

• Check the connection of the Acoustic Wave ® music system to the changer. Make sure the two RCA connectors are firmly inserted, red to red, and white to white, into the AUX IN jacks on the Acoustic Wave ® music system. Refer to “Connecting the multi-disc changer to your Acoustic Wave ® music system” on page 6.

• If the sound source is an auxiliary component connected to the multi-disc changer, make sure the connections are fully and firmly inserted into jacks on both the changer and on the component.

• Make sure nothing is blocking or preventing the IR signals emitted by the multi-disc changer from reaching the receiver on the front of the Acoustic Wave ® music system.

Refer to “Seating your Acoustic Wave ® music system on the multi-disc changer” on page 5.

• Does the unit get bumped in its current location? If so, move it to a more protected location.

• Check the CD for smudges or dirt. Wipe the CD (NOT in a circular pattern, but straight out from the center) to it clean off.
