I get a message saying "Format Unsupported" on all CD's and DVD's i play on my Bose 321 GS. They all used to play perfectly well until a week ago. These are all original CD's and doesnt have any scratches on it. So please dont give me a solution saying "Clean your CD's" - thats not the problem. Can you help?

You need to stand at the front of a Bose store and tell everyone about to enter your story, until the manager of the store agrees to give you a new one. This looks like an ongoing problem that Bose knows about and will not address. $900+ and maybe 60 hours dvd time and I'm on the same boat. I thought Bose could be a trusted company.

So funny mine just started doing the same exact thing. I put a DVD in and it says format unsupported. Then I turn it off take the disc out and try it again. Seems to always work the second time around
SOURCE: Format unsupported
Format unsupported simply means the unit can not read the disc. The problem is either the disc or the player.
Contact Bose technical support if you are sure the discs are good. 800-367-4008

Hi Johnxxlt,
According to Bose, the message that you have is due to dust in the system ....
They have offered 3 ways :-
Try cleaning the CD or DVD, as follows:
If the above will not fix the problem, you need to call them to repair the system.
I know its frustrating, However, we cannot play more with Bose as it might void the warranty if any.
Thanks for using Fixya.

HELP PLEASE
Mine just wont play any cd's at all dvd work fine it makes no sense
We keep getting the message "format unsupported". Even with new CDs and DVDs. Sometimes the same CD can't be played and when we try again an hour later it suddenly can be played without any problem. Who solved this problem? We do like our bose 321 GS system and we would like to enjoy it in the future. P&H from The Netherlands.
i have the same problem and am trying to contact Bose. Will they provide a replacement if the DVD unit is bad?
I bought my original Bose 321 unit in April 2006 and encountered the same problem (format unsupported) and called Bose and they replaced the entire system.
I'm now getting the same error on my newer system. I do not watch that many movies or listen to that many CDs. It's really disappointing that this system would fail so easily. I watch maybe one movie a month and never play CDs...
I should've bought a different, less-expensive brand.
