Setting Up
Selecting a location for your music system and changer
The Acoustic Wave® multi-disc changer is designed to fit right under your Acoustic Wave
music system. Before you connect the two, however, select a good location for the stacked
units.
CAUTION: Setting up the two units separately (on different shelves of an entertainment center, for example) is not recommended. Doing so will prevent proper communication between
the two and will adversely affect operation.
When choosing the location, remember that the tonal quality of your Acoustic Wave
system, as with any high-performance sound system, will vary with room placement.
Feel free to try different locations, but keep in mind that…
• The Acoustic Wave
®
music system is designed to sound best when placed on a shelf,
counter, desk, or table top, 30 to 48 inches (75-120 cm) from the floor.
• The CD player in the Acoustic Wave
®
music system needs an allowance of several inches
for the CD cover on top of the music system to open.
• The music system should be near the horizontal center of a wall and 6 inches (15 cm) or
less from the surface behind it.
• To increase the bass response, move the unit toward any corner of the room; to decrease
bass response, move it away from the corner.

CAUTION: Maintaining a clear optical path between the multi-disc changer and the music
system, shown in Figure 2(b), is important. When the changer is turned on, it sends infrared
(IR) signals that also turn on the music system. If those signals are blocked, there may be no
sound when the changer is playing.

changer (Figure 4).
CAUTION: If you will be connecting auxiliary components to the changer, refer to “Connecting other sound sources” on page 13.
4. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC (mains) wall outlet and your setup is
complete.
Note: When the multi-disc changer turns on after you plug it in, “PLEASE WAIT” flashes on its
display for a few seconds. When the flashing stops, you can load and play the changer.
