EXPANDING YOUR AUDIO LINK
The Bose

link AR1 Wireless Audio Receiver
Your AR1 receiver works with the Bose
®
link AL8 Homewide
Wireless Audio Link transmitter. It provides wireless audio
reception for Bose link expansion room systems, amplifiers,

or powered speakers.
You can also use it with some older Bose products that are 
not Bose link compatible or with a tuner/receiver or a pair of
powered speakers that are not from Bose.
Note: Use of the AR1 receiver with a product that is not Bose link
compatible requires a special adapter cable. For further informa-
tion, refer to “Instructions for non-Bose or older Bose products”
on page 6.
Getting it ready
• Check the AR1 receiver connection panel to make sure the
Setup Code switches are set to match those on the connec-
tion panel of the AL8 transmitter. This ensures compatibility.
Note: For further information on the Setup Code, refer to the
owner’s guide that came with your AL8 Homewide Wireless
Audio Link.
• Place the receiver within 7 feet (2 meters) of the product it
connects to (using the supplied Bose link A cable).
• Place it within 80 feet (24 meters) of the AL8 transmitter.
• Keep it upright with all feet flat on a level surface, such as a
floor, table, or shelf.
• Do not tip it on its side.
