Setting Up Your Wave

Radio

Connecting other components

You can use your Wave radio to improve the sound of a CD player, tape player, or TV. You can

also use your radio as extension speakers for a Bose

Lifestyle

music system. Connect one

of these components to the right and left AUX IN jacks.

To play your radio through external speakers, connect Bose powered speakers to the radio’s

right and left VARIABLE OUT jacks. Audio cables for these connections are available at elec-

tronics stores, or by calling Bose Product and Technical Support.

Most audio cables are color coded. Match the red plug to the R (red) jack and the black or

white plug to the L (white) jack (Figure 8).

speakers.

the VARIABLE OUT jacks shuts off the radio speakers, preventing you from monitoring the

recording volume.
