Recorded audio CD will not play

I have an Acoustic Wave® music system II , when I record an audio CD from my computer, it won’t play on the Acoustic Wave. The CD will however, play on my smaller Bose radios and on a Sony we have and also on a Blue Ray player as well. The Acoustic Wave plays fine with a commercial CD. Just the CD that I have made on the computer won’t play. I’m using the Master format and the CD’s are, –R, I’ve also tried +R as well with no help.

Most likely the recorded format is wrong and that is the cause.

Actually the problem was caused by a bad 470uf cap, that was used to filter the powersupply for all the analog amps. Replaced the cap the unit works like new.

Unplug and plug back in. It should go through a automatic process, ejecting any discs that are inside. If all you hear is a mechanical noise, try this again only with the disc trays facing the ceiling.

My front loader reads disc error or unplayable no matter what disc I insert. It worked just fine for about 2 years. It doesn ot get heavy cd use, but everyday radio/alarm use.

To resolve this issue, try one or all of the following:
  • The Wave® music system is designed to play commercial CDs, CD-Rs, MP3-encoded CDS and CD-RWs. If your system has trouble playing MP3 CDs, make sure the discs were recorded with compatible formats. See Cannot play MP3 CDs


  • The system may not be able to play certain CD-RW discs. Playability is dependant on how the disc was recorded, including the format it was recorded in and the actual disc used for recording.
    Note: iTunes defaults to AAC as the encoding format. In order to use iTunes to make CDs that will play on the Wave® music system, you’ll need to change the format to MP3 How to Choose Import Options


  • Different brands of CD-Rs and CD-RWs use different materials which may affect the ability of a player to read them. If you are burning your own CD-Rs or CD-RWs, experiment with different brands of discs


  • If a commercial disc won’t play, check for scratches, fingerprints or other physical damage. Try the CD in another player. If it still won’t play, there may be a problem with the disc


  • Reset the system by disconnecting the power cord from the wall for one minute, then plug the system back in

Can the new 5 cd changer work with the older Bose

It will work as a manually-operated AUX input, but since there was no remote for the original system so that function won't be available.

I have a bose acoustic wave,single disc model CD-3000. The CD is not working,the CD spins but won't play. The radio works great.

Had the same problem. Mine the cd drive got out of alignment. Sorry to say the fix is to have it replaced. BOSE will do this for about $150. Typically this includes the one year service agreement, a full system "tune up" and a one year warrenty.

Call BOSE and they will take care of you.

Player will not play cd - it reads then says

Your CD player is failed. It will need to be replaced. Some folks can repair but it cost less to have it replaced. If no one local will do it BOSE will for about $150.

CD's skip, then completely stop playing on my 1999 acoustic wave

Sounds like a maintenance issue - try cleaning the disc lens using a standard disc lens cleaner (you can buy in many high street stores) or using a lint-free cloth on the glass eye.
Otherwise, contact Bose.
