 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).
 
Note: 
 
Connecting components or speakers to the VARIABLE OUT jacks shuts off the radio 
speakers.

Using other components
 
Select your CD player, tape player, or other auxiliary source by pressing the AUX button. 
Adjust the listening volume with the Volume buttons. Control all other functions, including on/
off, at the source, referring to its owner’s manual, if necessary. 
Control your auxiliary powered speakers from the Wave radio. If these speakers have a vol-
ume control, you may use it.
 
Note: 
 
Recording from your Wave radio is not recommended. Connecting a tape recorder to 
the VARIABLE OUT jacks shuts off the radio speakers, preventing you from monitoring the 
recording volume.
