You likely have cable problems. Try and replace the cables by ordering from Bose

to manually open your cd tray look near the left side under the door you should see a pin hole straighten out a metal paperclip and carefully insert it into the hole and it will push open the tray just enough for you to grab the front and pull it the rest of the way open (Just be careful) good luck

The Bose® 3·2·1 GSX Series III DVD home entertainment system puts you at the center of exciting home theater with just two visible Gemstone® speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass® module. Setup is simple because, unlike traditional five-speaker surround systems, there are no center or rear speakers. An elegant media center features a progressive scan DVD/CD player with an HDMI output and AM/FM tuner. You'll enjoy vivid detail in your movies and sports with video resolution up to 1080p over HDMI.

That just means that the media file type is not supported by your DVD player. Is it a "Burned" disc that you are trying to play, if so there are conversion software programs to change the format to one that will work for your player.

Hi, Sometimes fluctuation of current might cause the blinking. check the current supply if it is too low to carry the system on. Also when a system blinks, been caused by power I C. The power I C is damaged and can power up the system. Needs to be replaced. When replaced will work properly. if not satisy yet, you can check on this site for more help ,http://www.bose.com/pdf/customer_service/owners/og_321_2.pdf Have a nice day.

open up the unit and find the combo tuner board and check from the selector switch(radio/tape/aux) to the tuner for a loss of power,this has to be the problem because its virtually impossible to lose both a.m. and f.m. at the same time and these are both on the same board where as the other options are on separate boards

If your remote is not functioning at all still you may want to try a universal and if that works then you will know you need a new bose remote. If that does not work it would lead to the ir sensor on the unit.
You may want to try to clean the ir ( the front of the remote with cotton or a q-tip and the same on the receiver first and then after they are dry go over them again with a clean dry one to get the residue off to see if that works.

Sometimes dvd players will have problems playing certain types of recordable discs. You might need to switch from the Sony brand and try a different one. Also there are DVD+R and DVD-R types. The Bose might have issues trying to play a "+" type disc. Also make sure that the disc is being properly "finalized" by the burning software you are using so the Bose system will recognize the disc. The burning software I use is called Nero Burning Rom and it is very easy to use. It allows you to control the burning for various applications and can help with "problem discs". If you are able to play other burnable discs in the Bose and the Sony discs are the only one giving you the problems then it is probably just that brand and you will not be able to use them with your Bose. And just a note some older DVD burners can only burn "+" type discs or "-" type discs but not both. Your computer according to the specifications from HP should not have a problem burning both types as long as the drive is the original.

WRONG INPUT?

Hi, the only way to connect your headphones to this unit is through HDMI cable, because I looked at your systems specs ( nice sound system!) and that's the only way I found it possible, you need to get the HDMI to Component AV cable (http://www.amazon.com/Component-Video-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B001IUQB2W ) and connect the two left and right audio RCA male ends to 2 RCA female/ 1 stereo female ( http://www.amazon.com/RCA-Female-3-5mm-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B000I98ZM8 ). Hope it helps and comment if you need more advice, Best

Hello. This is becoming a commonly reported problem with BOSE. I am going to provide you with an all inclusive link to the steps that you can take. Hopefully, one of these will do it for you. If you do end up having to send it in to Bose I would let them know that many customers are having this same problem and it doesn't seem fair to have to pay a huge amount to get a repair. http://www.justanswer.com/questions/2ijxm-bose-cd-dvd-players-drawer-will-not-open-Only-the-radio

unplug the system for a minute and restart. Disc usually ejects

Are you sure the dvd player is for usa dvd's and not foreign pal dvd's.
When did you purchase it and what is the make and model number.

if the display is working your pre-amp is ok
check the sub-woofer
amplifier is in the sub-woofer, check fuse inside first
after that mail again, thanks

need replaced laser pick up

Of course it comes from the speakers. What I meant was - what source originates the clicking? Pops on a digital feed are from digital data read errors or overloads (all 1's).

To what is the TV sending digital audio, and why? Any TV-related audio should be available to the Bose directly from the same device the TV gets it. Why send it to the TV first?

It sounds like there must be a bad connection on that input. Try switching the left and right input cables for the TV and see if you get the left cahannel working. If so, investigate a possible bad cable or output issue from the TV.

I traded it in.

Unplug your system for a few minutes and after it reboots try to eject, or hold the eject button down. If this does not work call Bose technical support. Regardless please call technical support and ask them for a software update disc. They will not automatically send you updates. You must call them and ask them for their free latest update disc and then after you put it into your machine you should experience many less problems.
