SETTING UP YOUR WAVE® MUSIC SYSTEM III
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave® music 
system  III, an elegant way to bring high quality sound 
into any room.
The demonstration CD
We encourage you to begin by 
listening to the demonstration 
CD provided. Simply insert the 
demonstration disc and your 
Wave
® music system  III will 
play the CD automatically. For 
more details on playing CDs 
see “Playing audio compact 
discs (CDs)” on page 13.
The benefits of research
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 wavegu ides, folded into intricate 
patterns, fit into products small enough to be placed 
comfortably in your home. Your Wave
® music system  III 
features 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.
Special Features
Alarm settings let you wake to your 
favorite radio station or CD track
You can set your Wave® music system  III to wake to 
your favorite radio station or CD track. For more details, 
see “Setting the alarms” on page 15.

(MP3) CDs
Yo u r  W a v e® music system  III can play MP3 music files 
recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs. You can use the 
remote control to easily navigate through your MP3 files 
and play your favorites. For details, see “Playing music 
file (MP3) CDs” on page 13.
The setup menu allows  you to personalize 
system operation
System settings were select ed at the factory to satisfy 
most owners of the Wave® music system  III. If you wish

LISTENING TO RADIO
Selecting the radio band
Press Radio  to turn on the radio to the station 
last selected. Press  Radio as necessary to 
select FM, AM or DIGITAL RADIO.
Listening to FM/AM radio
When you select FM radio, RDS information for the 
current station is displayed.  This is controlled by the 
RADIO TEXT setting in the setup menu (page 20). To 
disable RDS and view only the station frequency, change 
the RADIO TEXT setting to OFF.
RDS information displa yed (RADIO TEXT- ON):
No RDS information displayed (RADIO TEXT- OFF):
Tuning to an FM/AM station
When you press  Radio, Seek/Track , or Tune/MP3 to 
tune to a radio station, the frequency appears in the 
center of the display while you are tuning. 
 Press  Seek/Track   to find a lower 
frequency station with  a strong signal; 
Press  Seek/Track   to find a higher 
frequency station with  a strong signal.
 Press  Tune/MP3 <  to manually tune to 
a lower frequency; press  Tune/MP3 > 
to manually tune to a higher frequency.
 Press and hold  Tune/MP3 < to rapidly lower the 
frequency; press and hold Tune/MP3 > to rapidly 
increase the frequency.
Note:  If AM reception is weak, rotate your Wave® music 
system  III 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 
“Installing an external antenna for FM radio” on page 18.
Storing FM/AM radio station 
presets
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.
TA L K  R A D I O  m o d e
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 sound that is 
unnatural or bass heavy. By selecting the TALK RADIO 
mode, your Wave
® music system III 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 cancelled 
when you tune to another station, switch to another 
source, or turn your Wave® music system  III off.
