draw loading belt needs changing that is all dont do it yourself send it to bose or a good hifi shop

Make sure it is not an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray (or an unfinalized burned disc).

I love my Bose 321 DVD system, but a few days ago, it started acting weird. I put in a DVD, and it reads - "No Disc".....and I'm not sure why. I cleaned the disc, and I also played a DVD/CD Maintenance kit - I'm not sure what is wrong. It seems like I have a problem within the system - what can I do?

Try unplugging all of your audi and video cables and see if you have the same problem I do.

Hello Fousea,
Guru Techman is right. It could be the thermal cutoff inside the transformer. If your 321 however is the latest version, they have a habbit of blowing the fuse and MOV on a PCB inside the sub box.
if you got lucky, its all you have to replace. Power of your head unit comes from the sub box through a square connector esp type cable.

Hope This Will Help. Good Luck

Turn power off, unplug power source, plug back, and turn power back on.

Have you tried cleaning your lens?

If so your dvd drive may be going bad

I had luck with disconnecting the power cord from the back of the unit.

Salutations martyd50,

Only very specific players will play HD - DVD's. the Bose systems are currently only configured for standard DVD's

On a side note, HD - DVD's are being phased out by many retailers, and hardware manufactures.

Hope this helps.

No. You would need some kind of audio out connections on the back of the media center. The only audio outs it has are the
Acoustimass® Module – SPDIF connector.

Unless you were to hook up an amp before the Bose media center. In other words, you could run your TV to another amp's line in. You would hook up additional speakers to this other amp, then run audio line outs to the line in of your Bose media center. Some stereo amps have a line out or record/tape out, it is from here that you would run the cables to your Bose media center line ins. The disadvantage to doing it this way is you would have to plug all your media devices (dvd, tv, etc) into this amp first and your Bose remote wouldn't let you switch between devices. If your media devices you have offer digital audio, then you would want an amp that also offers a digital out for the best sound. Otherwise you will end up with analog out from this amp to the Bose media center and thus lose any of the digital signal information like surround information. So there isn't much point in doing this. If your gonna get an amp that has all the digital in's and out's, you might as well just use it with new speakers and forget the Bose system you have.

Go to Bose' website and click on "support". See if that helps out...accordianman

I was able to fix this problem by disconnecting the Bose power cord from the back of the unit. When I reconnected it the door functioned again. Cleaning the disc helped avoid further lock ups.

First make sure TV is on, 2nd when playing DVD or other source, make sure the TV is set to the correct video input
