I bought both the basic 1-cd unit and the optional 3-cd unit. Discs kept getting stuck in the optional unit requiring re-loading the software to get those out. After 10 to 15 times of this waste of time and source of frustration, I put the thing in a drawer where it still is.This product has proven to be a complete waste of $250.
After reading the reviews on Amazon, some of which were not encouraging, I bought and installed this product. The slim remote works easily and tucks away in a small space. It is a delightful companion to my Bose wave system. It was easy to install and operate. The CDs do make a little noise in changing,but nothing annoying. The CD changer fits perfectly under the wave system and looks to be part of the unit.Thank you Bose.
We love our Bose CD Changer. Since we couldn't purchase the radio and changer at the same time, we really appreciate the convenience of having both. The changer is quiet and only adds to the enjoyment of our Bose Sound System.
Using the wave radio with its single slot cd player is much easier because the cd player automatically pulls the disc in once you insert it partially into the player. I had purchased the Bose CD changer to work with my Wave Radio. What a mistake. I ended up sending the changer back to Bose and I got my $250 dollars back. You can also use your computer to burn MP3s to a cd and play it in the Wave Radio. To insert a cd into the changer, you have to forcefully push the discs into each slot and hope that the discs come back out of the machine.
In the future, I will just play some MP3 discs in my wave radio, or use my Ipod and hook it up. I liked the Wave Radio so well that I wanted to purchase an accessory to work with my radio. It will also eject the disc very smoothly without any problems. I had a disc get stuck inside the changer and it took several attempts to eject the disc. The changer is also very noisy and it takes a while to load all of the discs. With MP3s, you almost dont need to purchase a cd changer and the wave radio comes with an MP3 player hook up on the back of the unit.
I would not recommend the cd changer, but if Bose were to design it differently where the discs are pulled in automatically or something where you don't have to force the cds in, then maybe I would recommend the disc changer.
My fiance and I received this item as a gift. However, we are very dissapointed with the mechanical noise made by the cd changer. We already own the Wave music system. As always the sound from Bose is exceptional. It also has trouble sometimes when trying to read MP3 or WMA cd's. Disappointing considering the cost of the item.
