How can I improve my radio reception?

Check for interference around your Bose® system. Major electronic appliances, such as microwaves, refrigerators and wireless routers, can cause radio interference. You may also want to try the system in a different location

Try a reset. Turn off your system and unplug from power for 60 seconds. Once reconnected to power, check to see if the reception has improved
