Answer: | There are several benefits to the newest version. The Wave SoundTouch music system IV has improved Wi-Fi performance, works with Bluetooth devices, allows for Bluetooth rebroadcasting to other SoundTouch speakers, has ratings buttons on the remote for music services that offer this functionality, includes the ability to adjust the system's bass, and lets you set a SoundTouch preset as an alarm source. |
Question: | How does this iv system compare to the iii system with pedestal? Costco had the iii with pedestal at 499, but I wonder if the iv is that much better |
Answer: | It appears that the answer supplied by Bose is .... No you cannot receive Sirius through wifi.... you must pair the system with a bluetooth device... for the price of this system, one would expect for it to receive Sirius directly from your wireless router, however this is not the case.... seems like bose missed the mark on this product. |
Question: | Can this system receive Sirius through wifi |
Answer: | Thank you for this great question! While the Wave SoundTouch Music System IV does not power other Bluetooth speakers, it can make a Bluetooth connection to a device, such as an iPhone, and stream that audio to other SoundTouch systems in your home. Additionally, you can play music directly from your iTunes library on any of these SoundTouch systems without using external equipment. |
Question: | Can the bose wave iv power other bluetooth speakers? also can your iphone be plugged into this unit |
Answer: | Im pretty sure you need to attach the speaker wires to the speakers not the stand.The screws in the stand are to attach the speakers but I didn't have the cube speakers |

User questions & answers
Question: | does cd changer shuffle cd's - not shuffle songs on 1 cd but go from cd to cd (one song then another song on another cd |
Answer: | You can plug a Bluetooth transmitter into the line out Jack to use Bluetooth headphones or speaker. It will also accommodate a flash drive as a sound source. |
Question: | when systems are used what do you mean some else had it |
Answer: | Yes, but you have to use Bluetooth adapter, |
Question: | Does bose have a wave connect kit for the i-phone |
Answer: | The Bluetooth device is a receiver, not a MP3 player and is meant to be used in conjunction with a device capable of playing sound, but, doesn't have Bluetooth. What you can do is download your CDs to a MP3 player using your computer's multi-media software such as Windows Media Player. Connect your MP3 player to your computer using a mini-USB to USB cable. Use your multi-media software to convert the CD music files to MP3 music files, then copy those files to your MP3 player. You can then connect the MP3 player to your car stereo via Bluetooth and enjoy your music whilst cruising. Hope this helps! |
Question: | Will this system work with my wave II system and remote |
Answer: | But the product description says “Play Your Entire Collection of Cassettes, CDs, MP3s, Playlists & Other Old & New Entertainment With One Convenient Package Set.” See how it includes “cassettes”? So what gives, Amazon?? I only want to get it if it does play cassettes, among other audio. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can you connect your tv via wifi to thiw device |
Answer: | Apple TV Airplay is supposed to work via WiFi, but like the other reviewer said “when it decides to work”, in my case only 10% of the time. I have to listen to audio via tiny projector speakers (behind me) since Bose home 500 will not connect to Airplay consistently. But it is a treat once every 2 weeks to hear movies on this speaker when it does work. |
Question: | does it have Aux so i can connect it to my turntable |
Answer: | Hello, thank you for your question. The Smart Home 500 does have a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) Aux input. You may need a pre-amp as well to connect a turntable to convert a phono level signal to a line level. Hope this helps! Thank you again, Mohsin - Bose Support |
Question: | I already own two echo devices. Will this work with these echo devices just like adding another echo? Or is this going to be a standalone device |

The Home Speaker 500 is engineered to play in sync with another Home Speaker 500, as well as our other Smart Home speakers, such as the Soundbar 500 and Soundbar 700.

Question: | Like everyone else here i hate my bose cd changer. anyone know if there is a good cd changer out there that is compatible w/ the bose main unit |
Answer: | In answer to your question about date of manufacture for the current listings for Amazon Seller: seegek1. Black Bose Acoustic Wave Music System CD-3000 date of manufacture is March 24, 2005. (Model DOM range 1996-2006)2. White Bose Acoustic Wave Music System II Date of Manufacture is April 26, 2011.

This weekende I will list a Black Bose Acoustic Wave Music System II with Date of Manufacture May 15, 2011 (Model DOM range 2006-Present) for approximately $550 so you could order it this weekend. |
Question: | My Bose Wave music system will not eject the first disk Please help |
Answer: | Date of Manufacture per Serial Number is the 189th day of 2011. The item is New in Factory Sealed Box, that was open for inspection and testing since it is discontinued and 9 years old. The paperwork and remote are still sealed. If you Micheal B, are related to Stella who just sent me similar questions through Amazon Messaging directly to Harmony Concepts, LLC a Bose value added reseller, I have sent more information and photos to her. |
Question: | hello,are you able to change the bose cd player without an remote |
Answer: | As a Bose Value Added Reseller, I deal in the New Discontinued System itself. However, the power pack was discontinued in 2012, but could have been made earlier, and batteries lose life every year. If you find a New discontinued un-used battery, it may have less than half its original life depending upon age according my retired Bose Engineer, Supplier's calculations. I stopped dealing in the power packs for this reason. You may find New "aged" power pack on Amazon as product, "Bose Acoustic Wave Music System Power Pack AWMS II 2 Battery" or on big E site. You might be better served just buying a new car battery jumper or other portable 12v battery and using your existing transformer power supply. |

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.

User questions & answers
Question: | Is the Bose wave music system complete with speakers and antenna...so it works without extra components? Thanks |
Answer: | Great question, yes the unit is complete as it comes, and the power cord serves as an internal antenna and works great for most situations. However sometimes an added booster Antenna is helpful for some stations. They are about $12 on Amazon if you do need the extra boost. Charles |
Question: | can i attach an ipod to this unit |
Answer: | Hi J, Yes, the Bose Wave radio I have will accept an auxiliary input. The input connection to the Bose is known as an “RCA” jack. There is one for the left channel (White) and one for the Right channel (Red). So, you will need a stereo 3.5mm male plug for your IPod and the other end will need stereo RCA Male plugs, one for the left channel and one for the right channel. I’m sure Amazon has a vast selection to chose from. I hope this helps! |
Question: | how many cd can be played at one time |
Answer: | With the 5 CD changer and the single CD player that is at the very top of the radio section you can have 6 CD's loaded at one time, however you will only play 1 at a time. |
Question: | Does the CD player have the ability to repeat and shuffle? I want to be able to keep the CD playing all day long without stopping |
Answer: | I have on but it does not have the ability to play all day. Once the CD ends, it stops. However,its a wonderful machine, I have two. Enjot |
