Introduction

Bose-AWRCC6-Wave-Music-System-Platinum-White-fig-7

Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave® music system, an elegant way to bring high-quality sound into any room. We encourage you to begin by listening to the demonstration CD provided. Simply insert the demonstration disc and your Wave® music system will play the CD automatically. For more details on playing CDs see “Playing audio compact discs (CDs)” on page 11. Over fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation brings you the benefits of award-winning patented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently transfers energy from a small speaker to the outside air over a wide range of low frequencies. And, long waveguides, folded into intricate patterns, fit into products small enough to be placed comfortably in your home. Your Wave® music system features new dual tapered waveguide speaker technology, connecting two speakers to two 26″ tapered waveguides which combine to produce unprecedented instrument timbre from a system this size.

Note If AM reception is weak, rotate your Wave® music system clockwise or counterclockwise to improve AM reception. If FM reception is weak, make sure the power cord is straightened as much as possible. To improve FM reception, you can install an external FM antenna. See “Connecting an external FM antenna” on page 16.

Listening to FM/AM Radio

Storing a radio station to memory (Presets)Bose-AWRCC6-Wave-Music-System-Platinum-White-fig-18

You can store up to six FM and six AM radio stations for quick recall using the Presets buttons.

  1. Tune to the station you want to save as a preset.
  2. Press and hold one of the six Presets buttons until you hear a double beep and the preset number and station frequency appear on the display.
  3. Press one of the Presets buttons to quickly tune to a previously stored FM or AM station.

Note Storing a preset will replace any station previously stored to that preset number.
Note During a power outage, stored presets are saved in a backup memory system for 48 hours.

TALK RADIO mode

Talk radio broadcasts can be greatly affected by either the microphone selection or the boosting of low frequencies by some radio stations. They do so in an attempt to improve speech when heard through conventional radios. In high-quality audio products, this results in a sound that is unnatural or bass-heavy. By selecting the TALK RADIO mode, your Wave® music system automatically adjusts to compensate for artificially boosted low frequencies. When the radio is playing, press Play Mode twice to turn the TALK RADIO mode on or off. When on, TALK RADIO– ON is displayed. When off, TALK RADIO– OFF is displayed.
Note The TALK RADIO setting is automatically canceled when you tune to another station, switch to another source, or turn your Wave® music system off.

Playing Compact Discs

Playing audio compact discs (CDs)Bose-AWRCC6-Wave-Music-System-Platinum-White-fig-19

Insert the disc, label side up, into the CD slot below the display. The disc player will automatically pull the disc in and begin playing. Press CD if the CD source is not selected.

Note When you play a stopped CD it will always resume from the place it was stopped.
Note If you eject a CD but do not remove it from the CD player slot within 10 seconds, the CD player will pull the CD back into the player, reload it, and not play it.
CAUTION DO NOT INSERT mini CDs or non-circular CDs into the disc player. These discs may not play properly and could interfere with the system’s ability to eject them.

CD Play Modes
While a CD is playing, you can change the way it is played. Press Play Mode repeatedly until the play mode you want is displayed:

  • NORMAL PLAY – Plays tracks once in sequential order.
  • SHUFFLE DISC – Plays all tracks once in random order.
  • SHUFFLE RPT – Repeats all tracks in a random order that changes each time the disc is repeated.
  • REPEAT DISC – Repeats the disc from the beginning after the last track is played.
  • REPEAT TRACK – Repeats the selected track continuously.

Note The play mode will return to NORMAL PLAY whenever a CD is inserted.

Playing music file (MP3) CDs

Your Wave® music system can play MP3 music files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs. You can easily navigate through your music files using the Tune/MP3 and Seek/Track remote control buttons.
Note MP3 is a music compression technology that reduces a song’s file size without a noticeable effect in the quality of the sound. Through compression algorithms, the MP3 format makes it easy for you to store many times the number of songs you would find on a conventional audio CD. In fact, an MP3 CD can contain as much music as ten standard audio CDs on just one disc, which can then be organized into folders on a PC before being stored on the disc. Music files on an MP3 CD are played according to the folder structure on the disc. For example

Folders on CDBose-AWRCC6-Wave-Music-System-Platinum-White-fig-23

Play orderBose-AWRCC6-Wave-Music-System-Platinum-White-fig-24

To play, pause, stop or eject an MP3 CD, use the same remote control buttons as for an audio CD. See “Playing audio compact discs (CDs)” on page 11.
The Wave® music system will display artist name and song title information when available on music file CDs.
Note: The audio quality of MP3 CDs is dependent on factors such as the encoded bit rate, the sampling rate, and the type of encoder used. The Wave® music system supports MP3 CDs encoded at bit rates of 64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. It is recommended that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling rate of 44.1kHz or better be used.
Note Playback quality of recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs is dependent 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.

Navigating through music files

Press Tune/MP3 < to skip to the previous folder; press Tune/MP3 > to skip to the next folder.
Press Seek/TrackBose-AWRCC6-Wave-Music-System-Platinum-White-fig-21 to skip to the beginning of the current track; press Seek/TrackBose-AWRCC6-Wave-Music-System-Platinum-White-fig-21 twice to skip to the beginning of the previous track; press Seek/TrackBose-AWRCC6-Wave-Music-System-Platinum-White-fig-22 to skip to the next track.
