Is this a stand alone unit or do you have to plug it into another Bose unit with speakers?

The Wave Multi-CD changer does not have any speakers or amplifier itself. It must plug in to the Bose Wave Radio that has a single CD player installed ( I think they call this the Bose Wave sound system). If a customer only has the Bose wave Radio alone, I know of no way to use the Multi-CD player as it was intended to be used. It comes with a CD setup disc that is used to reconfigure the firmware in the base radio unit such that it will `see' the new purchased unit. When setup is complete, the user will have the one CD slot in the radio, plus the 3 slots in the Multi-CD changer making 4 CD slots total. Call Bose if you have any questions.

This is not a stand alone unit. It needs to be connected to the newer Bose. My Bose is older, which had the flip open top for the CD and the unit does not work with this kind.

This is a purpose-build accessory that marries with the Wave Music System. Do not buy this unit if you are looking for a general purpose multi-CD player to use with any stereo system.

Not to my knowledge. Due to the 3-2-1 system not being a suround unit it may not have any external speaker outputs. But to be sure you could contact Bose customer service and they can answer this for you. Their number is. 1-877-335-2673Hope this helps.

The "rechargeable" Bose unit is the SoundDock Portable for a hundred bucks more than the II. If you absolutely need to run the unit ONLY on batteries then that is your ONLY option in the Bose lineup.

You need to have inputs for the jacks to go in. Not sure if the Bose has that. I hooked mine up to a stereo receiver and it worked really well. Hope you can get yours to work as Bose speakers are the best!

No. It is not a complete stand alone unit. There is a headphone jack in front in addition to outputs on the rear for connecting to an amplifier.

I am not familiar with Bose so I do not know if it would help. I went into Bose System web site and searched the AWACCP but nothing came back. I looked at photos and some unit are stand alone and others have a component that it sits on. When I made the purchase it said it worked. It doesn't work unless you buy the other component. This was a huge omission of vital information. A lie....hmmm

It worked fine for me. The Bose cannot have the CD changer attached, it must plug right into the basic unit.

You would need to own an amplifier and speakers. This is not a stand alone unit. It is a component for a component entertainment system.

I power it on separately. Maybe there is another way to interface them, but haven't discovered it yet. The subwoofer is also separate power, but I guess you could leave it on. I have forgotten to turn it off a couple times with no issues.

This is not a stand alone unit. If you can connect the audio cables from this unit into a receiver then it will play through your speakers. You cannot connect speakers to this and have it play music, it is not a power (amplifier).

Separate . all sound cones from soundbar when plugged in. Mine arrived with one side not working. Id advise not buying this one

The speakers are separate. Each speaker has approximately 3-feet of wire. If you need a longer wire, you will need to splice an extra length of wire as the wire is soldered onto the speaker and there is a non-standard size plug that connects the speaker to the stereo unit. It is not difficult as I did this my self. Hope this answered your question. BTW, the sound quality from this stereo is excellent.

It does not have bulit in speakers, so you have to use ear plugs. You can connect the unit to bluetooth speakers, though.

You need the Bose AC-2 adapter for each cube. It takes bare speaker wire (16ga max I believe) screws the wire down with a small Phillips head and than plugs into the back of the cubes. I went to the Bose store and they just gave me all I needed for free. If you don't have a store near you, Amazon sells them for $3. Good luck.

It is a single speaker. You can buy two of these units and supposedly there is software to make them work in a stereo mode.

This is a component, not a stand alone unit. You can use headphones and it sounds okay but otherwise you need a receiver/amp and speakers.
