What's in the box? The Prod'Descr said that it has Bose Acoustic Wave Music System II+5CD changer, $465, true? Will CD changer read MP3?

The bose can read mp3, but your better off getting an MP3 player, go to radio shack buy a 3mm male aux wire, plug in the iPod, and now you have music coming off the Aux.

i don't recommed this player at all. when it plays mp3 cds it dosen't complete it programing or normal cd's. you just throwing you money away. the company sells defects. that's why i'm very angery about this player. my best bet is going to ebay or amazon. if i was you. i buy brand name that you can trust. not some of brand name that you don.t know nothing about. try coby audio cd players. don't go some other department store. find it cheap on web site so you can save money. happy holidays and happy new year.

Sorry, I'm not much help. On the CD box is says it is compatible with MP3 devices, but I don't use it that way. Can you call Customer Support at 877-2239763 and ask?

The manual is available for download from the Onkyo site. DL that and it will detail what the numerous inputs (and outputs) will do. An older model (by about two years) I have will accept turntable, for which it needs preamplifier, depending on cartridge. But it may not take both turntable and CD player. But the latter isn't a problem if you use a DVD player to play CDs. And, as it is a "receiver," it has an AM-Fm radio tuner integrated.

I have a Onkyo DX-C380 CD Changer; is this receiver compatible with my CD Changer? I noticed you said to use a DVD player to play CDs. I was thinking of purchasing this receiver.

sound is very good,however the price and the inherent issue with cd player that BOSE refuses to address make it a no brainer.You can find similar sound for a much lower price.I own one and it is a $500 radio because cd player refuses to work.I know several people with the same issue.Getting back to your ? sound is VG to EX

Hi Paul! I pulled out my user guide and it states that the unit is "not compatible with MP3 CDs." I truly hope this helps!

Sorry I gave it as a gift. I purchased it from a list of items the person wanted so I have no clue about the cd player. Sorry

No CD Player. It is awesome if FM radio and MP3 music files on a memory card are enough for you.

No big surprise. I bought one of those for a friend, and from day one it would not play MP3 CDs. I have it now myself, and all it's good for is the radio.

Hi...The songs on the CD's will shuffle but the CD's themselves do not shuffle (which I was really disappointed about). About adding speakers,I will quote from info booklet "You can use your wave system III as a multi room expansion speaker system for a Bose link-enabled lifestylehome entertainment system, Call Bose for required cables" I do not use speakers. The warranty is limited to two years, but it had a 30 days money back guarantee when I purchased it. It is a new system from Bose themselves not a refurbished system or a knock-off.

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.

No, it is not. Bose sent me an open box, and I have been trying without success to request a return. They will not respond. Amazon won't help, either. The alarm is unreliable. I overslept twice. I set the CD player to sleep after 90 minute. I wake up several hours later and it never shut off. If the music is on low, it sounds muffled. It only sounds good on high. Not worth $500.00. Especially when you can't return it! I will never buy Bose, again!

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.

It was a gift, so I don't know. Honestly, I do not think that any cd players do what you are interested.

Jonathan, I'd suggest visiting the company's page at www.cowonamerica.com, which (to me) seems to indicate that you get earbuds, an A/C adapter, a small plastic snap-on docking port called a "subpack" (which costs $9 to replace and is necessary to download your tunes to the player), the necessary cables, and the softward CD. Anything else, including a remote, may be purchased for a few (or not so few) extra bucks.
