The benefits of research
Over fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation brings you the benefits of award-winning proprietary 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 IV features dual tapered waveguide speaker technology, connecting two speakers to two 26″ tapered waveguides which combine to deliver
performance well beyond the size of the system.

- Place the system within two feet of a wall, and avoid placing directly in a corner.
- Place the system on a flat, stable surface.
CAUTIONS:
- Do not place the system on a metal surface. It could interfere with AM reception.
- Do not place the system on a heat-sensitive surface. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some heat.
- Do not use the system in a damp location or any other place where moisture can get inside.
Connecting to power

Listening to Other Sources
Listening to DIGITAL RADIO
The system can receive Band III digital radio broadcasts (DAB, DAB+ and DMB formats only).After selecting a DIGITAL RADIO station, information about the station is displayed such as in the following example:
Notes:
- The first time you select DIGITAL RADIO, the system scans for available digital radio stations and displays “PLEASE WAIT SCANNING” for a few minutes.
- If you cannot receive one or more digital radio stations in your area you may need to install the external antenna included with your system.
Primary stations and secondary services
Primary digital radio stations and secondary services are tuned in the same manner. Primary digital radio stations generally broadcast the same number of hours as FM. If a primary digital radio station goes off the air while you are listening, or if signal strength drops to zero, UNAVAILABLE is displayed. Secondary services are associated with a primary digital radio station.
They may only broadcast periodically and may broadcast different program material than the primary digital radio station. If a secondary service goes off-air while you are listening, or if the signal strength drops to zero, OFF AIR is displayed for two seconds. Then, the digital radio tunes to the associated primary digital radio station.When tuned to a primary digital radio station or secondary service with a low signal, the display alternates between LOW SIGNAL and the station name.
