Aim the remote control at the front of the Wave/PC unit and press the button for the function you want. The remote normally works up to 20 feet (6.1 m) in front of the radio, and six feet (1.8 m) from either side. Replace the remote control battery when the remote stops operating, or its range seems reduced (normally every year or two). Keep in mind that lighting and other room conditions, in addition to battery age, can affect the operating range of an infrared remote control.

included in the Wave/PC system application window. Aim the remote control at the front of
the Wave/PC unit and press the button for the function you want.
The remote normally works up to 20 feet (6.1 m) in front of the radio, and six feet (1.8 m) from

system audio and your computer system
After installing the Wave/PC interactive audio system, the Wave/PC unit becomes the default
speakers for your computer. This means that sounds generated by your computer system are
delivered to you through the Wave/PC unit.
Sound sources and quality
When playing an AM/FM radio station what you hear is generated by the Wave/PC unit. How-
ever, when listening to a CD, Web Radio station, or a music
fi
le, the audio you hear is gener-
ated by your computer, not the Wave/PC unit. Because the audio is computer generated,
certain factors affect the sound quality. For example, when the computer is busy printing or
scanning you may experience audio drop-outs.
