System Overview  
Wave/PCremote control  
included in the Wave/PC system application window. Aim the remote control at the front of  
the Wave/PC unit and press the button for the function you want.  
The remote normally works up to 20 feet (6.1 m) in front of the radio, and six feet (1.8 m) from  
either side. Replace the remote control battery when the remote stops operating, or its range  
seems reduced (normally every year or two). Keep in mind that lighting and other room condi-  
tions, in addition to battery age, can affect the operating range of an infrared remote control.

Wave/PCsystem audio and your computer system  
After installing the Wave/PC interactive audio system, the Wave/PC unit becomes the default  
speakers for your computer. This means that sounds generated by your computer system are  
delivered to you through the Wave/PC unit.  
Sound sources and quality  
When playing an AM/FM radio station what you hear is generated by the Wave/PC unit. How-  
ever, when listening to a CD, Web Radio station, or a music le, the audio you hear is gener-  
ated by your computer, not the Wave/PC unit. Because the audio is computer generated,  
certain factors affect the sound quality. For example, when the computer is busy printing or  
scanning you may experience audio drop-outs.

System Overview  
The audio from a Web Radio station is delivered over an Internet connection. While using an  
Internet connection, you can experience delays, periodic drop-outs and even disconnection.  
This can affect the quality and continuity of Internet audio broadcasts. The ability of your  
Wave/PC system to play and record CDs, or play music les, is limited by the capabilities of  
your computer hardware and software components.  
Getting the best possible sound quality  
Your computer hardware is assessed during installation of the Wave/PC software. This is  
done to make sure that the Wave/PC system is fully operational within the limitations of your  
computer hardware and software components. Upgrading your computer hardware with a  
better sound card, more RAM, and a faster CD-ROM drive, hard drive or modem, can  
improve the sound quality and overall performance of your Wave/PC system. For more infor-  
mation, refer to your computer manufacturer.  
While using the Wave/PC system, you can optimize the sound and overall performance of the  
system by minimizing the number of tasks being performed by your computer. Traditional  
background software applications, such as e-mail or web browsers, have a minimal effect on  
Wave/PC system performance when they are not in the process of moving large amounts of  
information.  
Changes in volume settings  
When you installed the Wave/PC software application, the volume settings were automati-  
cally calibrated. This calibration matched the relative volume level of computer-generated  
audio with the audio generated by the AM/FM tuner in the Wave/PC unit. If you change the  
volume level on your computer (such as in the Task bar) outside of the Wave/PC application,  
these volume levels will no longer match.  
If the volume levels are unmatched the next time you open the Wave/PC application, the dia-  
Figure 12  
Calibrates the volume settings (see Setting  
Options when volume set-  
tings no longer match

from the last volume calibration.  
Leaves the volume control in the current  
uncalibrated setting.  
Note: After installing the Wave/PC system  
application, use the Wave/PC system volume  
control on your computer to adjust the volume  
level. Right click on the Wave/PC monitor icon  
in the system tray to bring up the volume con-  
trol buttons.

System Overview  
The Wave/PCsystem monitor  
The Wave/PC application software includes a program called the Wave/PC Monitor which  
was installed during the software installation process. This program runs in the background  
whenever your computer is on and enables the computer-generated audio to play through  
your Wave/PC unit. A status icon (Figure 13) for this program appears in the portion of the  
Windows Task bar where the clock is located.  
Figure 13  
Location of the Wave/PC  
monitor icon  
Windows system tray  
Wave/PC monitor icon  
Normal operation  
During normal operation, you should always see the Wave/PC monitor icon in the Windows  
Task bar. This icon indicates that your computer and the Wave/PC unit are synchronized, and  
as long as the Wave/PC monitor is running, your computer uses the Wave/PC unit for its  
speakers. This means that sounds generated by your computer are heard through the Wave/  
PC unit. You can adjust your computers volume at any time using the volume buttons on the  
remote control or the Wave/PC unit control panel. Also, you can click the Wave/PC monitor  
icon and use the up/down buttons in the pop-up volume control. The Wave/PC system also  
acts as your computer speakers even when the Wave/PC application is not running.  
If you right-click the Wave/PC monitor icon, you can either start the Wave/PC application, or  
exit the Wave/PC monitor program.  
Note: If you exit the Wave/PC monitor, the sounds played by your computer will no longer be  
heard through your Wave/PC unit.  
If you see the icon with a yellow question mark  
If you see a yellow question mark appear over the Wave/PC monitor icon, this means the  
Wave/PC monitor is running but it cant synchronize with the Wave/PC unit. Some possible  
causes for this problem are:  
The Wave/PC unit is not connected to your computer  
The Wave/PC unit is unplugged  
The serial port of your computer is disabled  
The serial port of your computer is being used by another program  
Note: Make sure your Wave/PC unit is correctly connected to your computer and a  
serial port is available. Click the Setup button and click the General tab. Then click  
the Search for Wave/PC button.  
If you see the icon with a red exclamation mark  
A red exclamation mark over the Wave/PC monitor icon means there is a software problem  
and the Wave/PC application cannot be launched. To try to correct this problem, restart your  
computer. If the problem persists, contact Bose® Customer Service.  
If the Wave/PC monitor icon is missing  
If the Wave/PC monitor icon is not present in the Task bar, the Wave/PC monitor is not run-  
ning, and therefore, the Wave/PC unit is not synchronized with your PC. The sounds played  
by your computer will not be heard through your Wave/PC unit. To start the Wave/PC monitor  
again, double-click the Wave/PC icon on the desktop to start the Wave/PC application. The  
Wave/PC monitor icon should reappear in the Task bar.

Operating the CD Player/Recorder  
By default, when you insert an audio CD into your computers CD-ROM drive, the Wave/PC™  
system automatically switches to the CD mode and starts playing the CD. To disable auto-  
matic playing, remove the check next to Automatically play CDs when inserted.”  
Normally, when the Wave/PC system plays a CD for the rst time, the Wave/PC application

Wave/PC application to do this, remove the check next to Automatically get CD track info  
from the Internet.If this option is unchecked, you can get CD information anytime by clicking  
the Get Track Info button in the CD application window.  
When you click the Get Track Info button, the CDDB Internet service may nd more than one  
match for some of your song titles. To limit your request to only the rst match found, make  
sure you select Use rst match for CD track info.If you choose not to select this option, you  
will be prompted by CDDB to select one item from the list.  
When this checkbox is selected, CDs are played using the analog output of the CD-ROM  
drive. Otherwise, digital extraction is used when playing CDs. This setting does not affect the  
CD recording process. However, when selected, simultaneous playback and recording of  
CDs is not allowed.  
The recording format drop list offers you a choice of audio le formats: Fixed MP3, Variable  
MP3, or WAV (uncompressed). Fixed MP3 is recommended. It is more compatible with other  
devices, such as portable MP3 players.  
The recording quality drop list allows you to select the quality level for recording. The avail-  
able levels vary according to the recording format you choose. In general, the higher the bit  
rate, the better the sound quality but the larger the audio le size.

Listening to Music Files  
Navigating the music finder  
The music nder makes it easy for you to view your music database and nd the music you  
want to hear. The music database is organized into a hierarchy of views (Figure 21) to group  
your music into logical collections.  
Types categories or genres of music (Highest level)  
Artists those who perform the music  
Composers those who wrote the music  
Albums names of music collections  
Tracks individual songs (Lowest level)  
You can view your music in each grouping by clicking the appropriate Views button located  
to the right of the music nder in the application window. For example, if you select the clas-  
sical category in the Types view and then click the Artists button, all your classical artists  
appear in the music nder. If you click the Composers button and select a composer from  
the list, and then click Albums, all albums with music by this composer are listed. You can  
also skip levels. For example, if you select Classical in the Types view, you can then click the  
Tracks button to display all your classical tracks.  
You can move down through the hierarchy of views quickly by double-clicking an item in the  
current view. For example, double-clicking the classical category in the Types view displays  
all your classical artists. Double-clicking one of your classical artists displays all albums con-  
taining tracks by that artist. The detailed rules for double-clicking down through the hierarchy

Listening to Music Files  
Maintaining your music library  
To help you create and maintain your music library, the Wave/PCapplication provides the  
capability to add and delete les, and edit the music nder database.  
Adding new music to your music finder database  
There are three ways to add new music to the music nder database:  
Searching your hard drive During the Wave/PC software installation process, the setup  
program searched your hard disk for any existing music les and added them to the Wave/  
PC database. You can repeat this operation whenever you want. Open the Music Files  
setup window and click the Scan hard drive for music button.  
By default The Wave/PC application is congured by default to automatically incorporate  
any new music les which are copied to your hard drive directly into your music nder data-  
base. Just download a music le from the Internet, and it will automatically appear in the  
music nder.  
Standard drag and drop You can also drag and drop a music le from Windows directly  
onto the Wave/PC application window. This adds the music le to the Wave/PC database  
and begins playing the le.  
Deleting music files from your music finder database  
You can delete any item from the music nder by selecting it and clicking the Delete Item  
deleting this le. You can just delete the item only from the music nder, or you can delete it  
from the music nder and your hard drive as well. If you only delete an item from the music  
nder, you can put it back at a later time using the scan function in the setup menu. If you  
also delete the item from your hard drive, the actual music le is removed from your hard  
drive.  
Figure 22  
Delete item confirmation  
Editing file information  
You can change information in any music nder view. In general, any changes you make will  
appear in all other music nder views below the one you changed. For example, if you select  
the Tracks view and change a name such as Bourbon Street Paradeto Bourbon Street,  
you will notice this change also in any other view where this name appears.  
To edit information:  
1. Right-click the item to edit.  
2. Select Edit Entry from the menu.  
3. Type the new information and press Enter.  
Changes made to the music nder database will be made to the individual music les them-
