Is this an integrated sound system or is it meant to be connected to an existing one? I am looking for an all-encompassing CD player like the Bose.

This is a "component " for a stereo system. You hook it into a receiver, an integrated amplifier, or pre-amp - amplifier system. Not to sound like an audio snob or anything, but if you will be satisfied with the sound of an "all-encompassing CD player" then this high-end player is way overkill. On the other hand, it's a great machine and if it's at a good price you can't go wrong buying it now and plugging it into any low-end amplified speaker system today and upgrading later. Best wishes.

shuffle mode, no--if you have the multiple cd player plugged, you can't add a speaker, but you don't need it---guarantee, not sure--it is the actual bose.

Yes...there is room for that connection....BUT !! watch out....the system doesn't respond to all devices. I would contact the company directly to see if your system is recognized by the stereo before purchasing. I have tried 3 ipods, 2 additional mp3 players...all of which are not recognized by the system. Good luck ! It does have super great sound...if you are wanting a better priced unit than a Bose for CD's.

Yes the system plays music in Surround sound. The sound quality is wonderful, plus you can adjust the speaker volumes independently. I-Pod and CD music sound great (rear speakers are lower volume typically because they are closer too you). And the sub is kicking!!It comes with front speakers if you want to use other speakers you could use them, but you'll have to use their wires. Only speakers in the system I thought about replacing is the center channel honestly the box set speakers are pretty nice.Wires for the speakers have a strange connection into the system, but else wise it's just possitive & negative into the speaker itself.

Sound devices of this type have no integrated speakers. I suggest you to buy some good ones as the Focal brand for instance or others as Bang & Olufsen , Bose

This is to connect the base unit to the speakers. You still need to connect base unit to the the receiver using the the Bose DB style connector (I have an older Bose system). What I was able to find was and old MAC video DB cable (M-F) that connected to the Bose cable then ran that out of the wall to the base unit. However, when connecting to the receiver the L-R channels are switched so adjust the connections accordingly. So now I have 2 small cables coming out of the wall going to the base unit. Very clean.

It has a headphone/line out for audio output, so you can plug in a headphone to RCA red/white cable for external speakers or just plug in computer speakers. Everytime you power it off, the CD starts from the first track, so it doesn't have that feature. This is just a normal CD player, just with Bose branding. It has excellent sound quality output and is better at reading scratched discs than other CD players though. Bose used to sell it for $50 about 5 years ago.

An external CD player? Sure. Why not? I assume that it has an RCA output. Use the included adapter and connect it into the AUX input on the soundbar.

My advice---Telephone Bose help line and ask them. I have an older Bose Wave Music , and ordered the CD Changer, only to find out the two were not compatible. Bose was good to accept the return, but just to be sure verify compatibility BEFORE ordering.

It depends. The Bose Wave SoundTouch has an Auxiliary input. So if your CD changer has an Auxiliary output then all you need is an Auxiliary cable to connect the two and it will work. The only draw back from this is that you would need to use two remotes. The Bose remote to turn the speaker on, adjust volume, and switch to Auxiliary input, and then you would use the CD changer remote to play, pause, and switch CD's.

Its not necessary to be connected to a Bose system, it can be connected to any receiver.

Hi, this Sony CD player requires a speaker system or you may connect it to an amplifier or receiver to here the sounds. This unit doesn't have a build in speakers. -Ely

It works very well. I have two. But, you must update your Bose Wave Radio II with the update disc that comes with the CD changer. If you purchased it new, the disc will be in the package. If you did not receive the disc, you may need to contact Bose.

It works with my Bose sound system in '05 A6. Do you have CD changer with fiber optic? What version of the MMI do you have? Those are the things you need to worry about about.

I connected to a Bose Companion Speaker system. I have also connected it to my amplifier and stereo speakers. Both I owned already. If you think about the Phorus like your iPhone or laptop, how would you connect those at your house today to play to speakers? Phorus also has speakers you can buy but not included with this.
