    Why is FM reception weak on my Bose Media Converter?

      If you're experiencing weak FM reception on your Bose Media Converter, try extending the power cord as much as possible, as it acts as an FM antenna. If that doesn't improve reception, consider using an external antenna. For information on ordering an external FM antenna, contact Bose Customer Service.
