These CAUTION marks are located on the bottom of your pedestal:
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the system enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, as marked on the system, is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in this owner’s guide.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, insert fully.
ATTENTION: Pour éviter les chocs électriques, introduire la lame la plus large de la fiche dans la borne correspondante
de la prise et pousser jusqu’au fond.
WARNING: No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

Setting Up
Before you begin...
Thank you for selecting this multimedia accessory pedestal from Bose
®
. Designed as a
simple and attractive solution, it allows you to connect and play a variety of auxiliary compo-
nents using your Wave
®
radio/CD or Wave
®
radio.
Benefits of the pedestal include:
•Wave
®
radio sound from a wide range of auxiliary audio sources
• Compact design that fits the lines and the functions of your Wave
®
radio/CD (Figure 1a) or
Wave
®
radio (Figure 1b)
• Quality construction and performance

Simplifying connections to your Wave
®
radio
While the connectors are in slightly different locations on the back of the two different pedes-
tals, both provide the same connection options. They include three RCA input jacks and three
power outlet plugs on the rear panel. There is also a slot through which the Wave
®
radio
power cord passes to reach a wall outlet. The two additional power jacks on the pedestal are
for plugging in added components. Or you may choose to connect the Wave
®
radio power
plug to one of those pedestal jacks, as shown in Figure 2 on page 5.
When all the other connections are made, simply plug the pedestal power cord into an AC
(mains) wall outlet in your room. That supplies you with power enough for the radio and the
added components.

system, your TV, VCR, multi-disc
changer, or portable digital audio file player. In addition to the pedestal, you need an RCA
cable to connect from each component to one of the three pairs of RCA inputs on the
pedestal.

Setting Up
One at a time
For each separate component you add, there is a simple two-step process:
1. Connect the ends of one RCA cable:
• to the audio output of the component you will use with the radio, and
• to one of the three pairs of INPUT jacks on the pedestal (Figure 5).
When inserting the connectors, be sure to connect red-to-red and white-to-white
at each end. This ensures consistent right and left channel connections for proper
performance.

Getting The Sound
Using your pedestal with components connected
With auxiliary sound sources connected to your pedestal, you can easily command Wave
®
radio sound from them.
Before you begin to enjoy the sound, however, take note of which component is connected to
INPUT 1, 2, or 3 on the back of the pedestal. Those numbers coincide with the AUX buttons
on the pedestal front panel, which you will press to select the component you want to hear
(Figure 7).

1. Turn on your component using its remote or console Power button.
2. Turn on the Wave
®
radio/CD (or Wave
®
radio) and select AUX (pressing the Wave®radio/
CD remote control AUX button will do both).
3. Press the AUX 1, 2, or 3 button on the front of the pedestal.
Note that the green LED (below the AUX button you press) lights up.
To adjust the sound
Use the Wave®radio/CD (or Wave®radio) remote to increase or decrease the volume of the
component that is playing.
Use the component remote control or console buttons to adjust any other feature of that
sound source and to turn the component off, as well as on.
