Bose® WAVEMSIVPS Owner's Manual

The system can play MP3 music files recorded on CD-R and  

CD-RW discs. To play, pause, stop or eject an MP3 CD, use the 

same remote control buttons as for an audio CD.
You can easily navigate through your music files using the

Tune/MP3 and Seek/Track remote control buttons.

•  Press 

Tune/MP3 < to skip to the previous 

folder.

•  Press 

Tune/MP3 > to skip to the next folder.

•  Press 

 to skip to the beginning 

of the current track.

•  Press

 again to skip to the 

beginning of the previous track.

•  Press 

Seek/Track 

 to skip to the next track.

When navigating an MP3 CD, folder number and track number are 

displayed:

Selected source

Clock time

Track number

Folder number

Note:  The Root level is displayed as folder number 00.

Once the track begins playing, artist name, song title, and elapsed 

track time will return to the display:

Artist name and 

song title

Notes:
•  The system will display artist name and song title information 

when available on music file CDs.

•  The audio quality of MP3 CDs is dependent on factors such as 

the encoded bit rate, the sampling rate, and the type of encoder 

used. The system supports MP3 CDs encoded at bit rates of 

64kbps or higher, and sampling rates of 32kHz or higher. It is 

recommended that a bit rate of at least 128kbps and a sampling 

rate of 44.1kHz or better be used.

•  Playback quality of recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs is  

dependent on the CD recording process and software used  

to record the disc. An improperly recorded audio CD may cause 

the system to exhibit unexpected behavior.

While a CD is playing, you can change the way it is played.
