However, note that the main unit works fine with great sound. Piece of junk. Rotation of discs stopped after 3 years of limited use. Now a disc is stuck in one of the slots, and nothing works.
However with this great deal of communication, the seller stood by his product and reimbursed the cost. I did not receive a working product and spent a great deal of time sending products back to the seller as well as q great deal of time communicating with the seller.
Also surprisingly heavy - again, I hope there's a great motor in there doing the work. My other issue is that for the cost, I'd think it would hold maybe 6 CDs instead of 3.The remote is easy to use even for someone with no patience for such things - it is easy to set play modes for repeat, shuffle, etc. Also, extra remotes are only $10 with free shipping - super nice I think, most high end sellers don't give you a break on anything.My main issue with the multi CD changer is that it is so slow and noisy when changing CDs that I actually thought it must be faulty/broken. But it would be nice to at least have an on/off switch for when you are in a hurry and don't want to hunt down the remote.I still love it, but I'm disappointed that they are all like mine so I can't exchange it for a quick, quiet one. It is the sound of a heavy duty piece of machinery doing a heavy lifting job. I have never been picky or knowledgeable about stereos, but I stayed in a hotel in Boston that had a Bose clock radio and really loved the sound.
(I keep one in a drawer for emergencies when I lose the main one). And the system is beautiful. I got the basic Wave music system (the clock radio I heard in Boston which now comes with one CD slot) and the multi CD changer for Christmas a year ago. HOPEFULLY (although other reviews do not bode well) that heavy machinery is also sturdy and problem-free. If Bose wants to generate some real customer loyalty, they will improve the speed/noise issue and let those of us with the first generation changer get the new one for a nice discount if we bring in our old one. The two parts come boxed separately and each comes with the small-ish remote, so you start with a spare remote which is great.
I mean, what is going on in there.
(Make sure you follow the instructions carefully, and you shouldn't have any problems). I read reviews that found the average person can't detect the difference between this system, and one costing two or three times more, and I have to agree. My only gripe is that I had to set up my Bose Wave Music system first, and then "add-on" the changer by installing extra software located on one disc (included).
You can't beat the sound for the price. I'm certainly no expert, but to me the Wave System lives up to its reputation. I did my homework before purchasing, and my research kept bringing me back to the Bose Wave System.
Without this changer, the basic Bose Wave Music System will hold two CDs, but with it attached to your system, you can load five CDs and enjoy hours of uninterrupted music. And when your system is playing, your friends won't believe the sound is coming from the little "radio" on your nightstand. Having said that, this multi-CD changer makes the system much more convenient and adds to the enjoyment you will receive from your Bose Wave System.
This really isn't much of a hassle, but it does take a bit of extra work. The bottom line is that this changer works flawlessly; helping the Wave Music System put out hours of fantastic sound, and it is well-worth the extra cost.
We hardly used this system except for Christmas music and now it is just a large, EXPENSIVE, paperweight. That's more than 30% of the purchase price. Less than 2 years after buying this through QVC the cd in slot 2 is stuck, will not eject and has disabled the cd play function for the 2-piece system. Bose says to send it in for repair for $90 ($75 plus shipping and tax).
