When my Bose cd changer gets to the second cd it reads and then says cd error but it works on the other . It worked for 6 months. How can I fix it?

Unplug the unit for five minutes, then re-plug, turn on and re-play your CDs. A re-boot very often solves the problem.

Pamela, I'm sorry not to be able to help you. I haven't had any trouble with my CD changes in the Bose. I suggest taking it to a repair place and have them give it a look. It's probably something simple. Good luck. ----Nancy

Unfortunately, this has happened three times to my multi-changer units. I have had the multi-changers refurbished for a bit under $100 twice through Bose, and I plan to do the same with my spare. I use the CD slot in disc #1 - the Wave unit - so I don't have to replace it, so I use slots #2 through #4 on the multi-changer unit. I hope to continue to get all my CD's on a hard drive so I can use the Wave III with the Bluetooth. Best of luck.

My Bose CD changer doesn't have this problem...which leads me to think there is something wrong with your CD changer (particularly in the 2nd slot). I do notice that homemade CDs don't always play as well in my Bose as well as commercial CDS. Best of luck in finding your answer.

Mine just quite playing. Stops in the middle of a song so it is not the CD switch. Very disappointed. Tried different CD's with the same result.

Yes, you can, through the AUX input. Should work well; however, you may prefer the sound of the built-in CD player. (I do.) The secret is to run the built-in CD player non-stop for a couple days to burn it in. After that, it sounds very good.BTW, you'll need a stereo RCA to 3.5mm cable. (The RCA jacks go in the back of your multi-disk player, and the 3.5mm jacks go in the Bose.) These cables are dirt cheap, either on Amazon or eBay. If you unsure how to do this, take the Bose and your multi-disk player to your local Radio Shack, and they'll fix you up. (It will cost a little more, but still not very much.)

There is most likely a problem with your radio. I own the same one and all my CDs work perfectly the only time I may have this problem is if the cd is scratched. So, befor buying a new radio check the condition of the cd your playing. If the problem continues id just buy a new one. Wish you luck

We bought a Bose about 5 years ago and it quickly 'died', that is 3 of the 4 disk player slots read 'error'& won't play. Talking with friends about this & who also own Bose and all have had problems. Myhuspand opened up the system to the wires and found they were crimped apparently when being manufactured. Ask Bose about warranties and what their average lifespan is without problems.

We bought two of these and could not get the CD player to work on either one of them. They made a really loud grinding noise or would just plain skip or not play the CD's. If we put the CD's in another player they would work fine. I recommend another player. Go to Walmart - they have them in their audio section usually cheaper to.

I do not see anything like this in my CD/Onkyo unit Information. Question: Can you connect WHAT to your Bose? Are you asking if you can connect the ONKYO disc player to your BOSE RADIO and thereby use the BOSE Speaker System (in the radio) AS your SPEAKER SYSTEM for the CD's you inject,... I have no answer for that....IF THAT IS YOUR QUESTION you will have to confer with the Bose Company itself.

C,Does the CD player & radio have sound? If they do have sound, maybe u should call Panasnic. It seems like more than just a firmware update.

I had the same thing happen to my unit just over a year after purchase. It won't recognize any discs. I highly recommend buying the sound system separate instead of a combo unit. If you want to find just the receiver, I'd try eBay. I have seen the entire unit go for $125.

Good Morning Margaret,It is likely that you are placing a CD into the player upside down and getting the Error Message. Try placing a CD rightside up and then try it. Hope this helps.Marion.

I think it depends on the CD player, in my case Exomunt only touches the edge of the CD player and actually everything works normally (of course, must be previously inserted the CD and you must remove the mount each time you want to change the CD)

I have the same issue, pressing and holding power for a bit usually fixes, it locks up frequently though.... Going to call Kenwood for warranty because CD player has stopped accepting CD's

My Denon plays most of my cd's but there are many it just can't read. I was told it may need cleaning but I tried that with no success. Sorry I can't help.

There's a switch on the right side of the player that allows you to switch between cd & radio. If the button doesn't work then your player is broken.

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.

Wish I could answer- but would suggest using the Bose chat line. The remote I bought a year ago works well with the Bose Wave that I got in Nov 2010, but the cd3000 which was sold thru 2006, looks much different from mine. rlf

I've noticed this happening to mine as well. With mine getting older and because I use it so often, there are many times where the CD player won't work properly. The same thing happened to my old CD player. I don't think there's anything you can do to fix it or the radio other than let it rest. Might need to get a new one.
