Product Description
The acclaimed Wave music system still sets the standard for quality audio and ease of use among one-piece, table top stereos. No wonder so many people use it as their main home entertainment system. And you'll enjoy extra hours of uninterrupted CD music with the Wave music system multi-CD changer included in this package.
Simplicity by Design
The Wave music system was engineered for easy enjoyment right out of the box. No setup required: just plug it in and you're ready to go. The FM/AM radio and CD player are built in. There's an auxiliary input for your MP3 or other portable player, and a headphone jack for keeping the music to yourself.
The system's sleek appearance is uninterrupted by buttons, with all controls on a handy, slim remote. The large display panel is brightly lit and easy to read, prominently displaying the artist, title and album names of your MP3 CDs.
The Wave music system with multi-CD changer package lets you enjoy extra hours of uninterrupted CD music. Simply slide one CD or MP3 CD into the slot on the front of the Wave music system, and up to three more into the add-on multi-CD changer. One remote controls all CD functions, plus FM/AM digital tuner, clock and alarm. A spare remote is also included.
The changer has the same small footprint as the Bose Wave music system. Together they stand less than seven inches tall and can fit almost anywhere, unlike most conventional bookshelf stereos. The CD changer also provides an additional connection for another audio source, such as an iPod or DVD player.
Unique Bose innovations account for this compact system's hearty sound. Proprietary waveguide speaker technology delivers performance well beyond the speakers' size. Two 26-inch folded waveguides are precisely tuned to amplify the output from speakers to reproduce lifelike sound from a small enclosure. You'll hear full-bodied sound, especially in lower registers, for more natural-sounding bass and percussion instruments.

ALWAYS READ THE DIRECTIONS!
I was about to return the Wave cd player because I couldn’t make it work with my sort of older radio. Nothing I did made any difference. No sound. Then I happened to turn it over and noticed carved into the plastic case these words and an arrow: ATTACH TO WALL , at the place for a power plug. I did as required, and LO! Glorious sound filled the room from the last cd in the slot. So don’t think past experience always applies to current situation. READ THE DIRECTIONS before starting to assemble anything. I love this Bose Wave player and think it was a great investment in my music pleasure.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2012Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseThere is no comparison between my old stereo and the Bose. I hooked both of them up in the same room, then threw the jvc away. Quality product and great service from the seller. 2/16/14 I guess I misjudged this product. I have had it less than 2 years and they are sending me my 4th cd changer and 2nd radio. I called the warranty dept again Friday 2/14/14 to tell them the cd player stopped working again. This time it had started skipping then lost power. I can't get my cd's out. They asked me how many hours a day I use it. When I told them 8 to 12 they told me it wasn't built to use that much. What! They sure don't advertise only using it 3 to 4 hours a day. I still say the sound is very good and the warranty dept is very nice but that doesn't fix my problem. They have agreed to send the newer model (series 3) this time but would not assure me that I would be able to use it any more than the old one. Very disappointed :(
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2011Color: Platinum WhiteVerified PurchaseIt is very hard to find honest reviews of Bose stuff; there's just so much hate mixed in and it's impossible to tell what's real.
I never thought of myself in the Bose target audience. I have 4 component stereos in the house, all of them much more costly than this little stereo. I own some very high end stuff; headphones that cost over $1,000 and so forth.
But I wanted to replace the component system in the bedroom with something smaller. We just used the component system to play CDs and didn't need anything fancy. I wanted good sound without a big footprint. A friend had this player and really liked it. I stayed in a hotel room that had this unit and was very impressed.
So I bought it. I am very impressed. The sound is indeed "bass-y" if you're sitting next to the unit--this is not reference sound. I suspect this is to help fill the room. A few feet away from it and it sounds great. The unit is compact, the sound is fantastic for something this size, it doesn't vibrate, the bottom is padded to protect furniture, the remote is easy to use. There are, of course, certain limitations--though the sound fills the room, it still essentially coming from a single point, unlike a multiple speaker system. This should be obvious. For what it is--a compact, table top music source, it sounds great!
Some folks mentioned the lack of buttons on the unit. The only button I really miss is the 'eject' for the CD. Fortunately, more remotes are just $10 at Bose's web site. I'm not thrilled with having to buy another remote, but they are cheap and it's not a big deal.
I did research other options by other vendors, but I didn't feel anything else quite had the handsome appearance this player does. Although looks aren't my number one criterion for choosing an audio device, I didn't want to buy something that was ugly. This player sounds great and looks great.
Definitely worth it for my application. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get your CD changer now!
Color: Platinum WhiteVerified PurchaseIf you have a Bose Wave System, you might want to snap up one of these as they are discontinued. When I couldn't order my first choice for color, I called Bose Canada and spoke to one of their representatives who told me of the product discontinuation. So I changed my mind on the color of the system and got both components in white. So, if you like to listen to your "old" CD'S without having to stop what you are doing every 10 tracks or so, snap up one of these while they are still available.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pensez-y deux fois avant d'acheter
Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseQuelle erreur d'avoir acheté cet appareil. Il n'a pas fonctionné longtemps à peu près 5 mois... J'ai dû l'envoyer (à mes frais) aux États Unis chez Audio Video & Scientific Corp.pour le faire réparer et je vous dirais que ça a été une expérience humiliante. Il m'ont dit que mon appareil n'avait rien du tout et ont mis la faute sur mes cd qui étaient probablement en mauvaise condition et sur Poste Canada qui avait sûrement mal traité le colis au retour. Malgré toutes les photos du problème que j'avais avec leur appareil et celles que je leur ai envoyées du colis sans aucun bris que j'ai reçu j'ai demandé qu'ils envoient ma requête au responsable des litiges et ils m'ont répondu "envoyé votre demande et croisez-vous les doigts"! Alors avant d'acheter un appareil reconditionné pensez-y deux fois. Je suis tellement déçue d'avoir été traitée de cette façon, d'avoir perdu du temps et de l'argent.
