Bose Wave Radio / Cd With Remote model Awrcc1 With Ipod / Mp3 Connect Cable Questions & Answers
How do I improve my reception on a Bos Wave Radio with single CD player
The Bose uses its power cord as an antenna. The cord has to be stretched out (not coiled) to pick up stations. It also helps if it's oriented the right way -- try changing the direction (having the cord running east to west, say, instead of north to south). Moving the radio and the power cord closer to a window can help, too, especially in a commercial building. These structures often have a steel frame which can block radio signals. If all the above fail, your best bet is to buy an indoor FM antenna, which can be as simple as a piece of wire made into a dipole antenna or as fancy as one of the Terk mini-towers with built-in amp. Bose sells one for their radio, though it's kind of expensive for a simple length of wire. You can get the same thing from Radio Shack, but if you do, be sure to pick up their adapter (catalog 278-257) to plug it into the non-standard Bose jack. All together you'll spend half what Bose wants. Move it around like you did the power cord and you should see a big improvement.
Pyle P22-03ABTU stereo receiver.
Question edited for clarity. It is a 'Pyle' not a 'Pile'.
It is under warranty. Return it, an internal component has failed probably an electrolytic capacitor.
One thing you can try is to disconnect it and move it to another room to discount EMF from something.

Bose wave radio doesn't turn on with the remote but one time in 20 to30 times pushing the power button.
You can check with new battery in the remote. Next you point a digital camera, a smartphone should do fine, at the infra red transmitter on the front of the remote and then look on the camera screen if you see the ir light flash different pulses for each button. Infra red light can not be seen but a digital camera shows it really well. Confirm this with another remote. Now you know if the remote functions right. Remotes are available on-line or one can use a universal type remote. The IR receiver is often welded onto the circuit board. This means that it is not right behind the front panel window. It can be obstructed, perhaps by dust or displaced. This is generally speaking.
