Be sure your system supports the type of disc you are trying to play.

If the issue is with certain types of discs, check that your system supports that type of disc. For more info, see Disc compatibility charts.

Be sure the disc is inserted with the label facing up.

Place the disc in your system with labelled side of the disc facing upward. If there is no label, try the other side.

If using the accessory multi-disc changer, be sure the correct disc is selected.

To listen to or control playback of a disc in your system, be sure the correct disc is selected. To select a disc, press the CD button on the remote control until d2 (disc 2), d3 (disc 3) or d4 (disc 4) appears on the system display.

See if your product is playing the CD but not producing sound.

Check if the CD track time on the product display is advancing. If it is but you cannot hear sound from the CD, see No audio from product.

If the accessory muti-disc changer is connected, check the condition of the Bose link plug.

Inside the plug that connects the multi-disc changer to the Bose link jack on Wave system, there are nine pins. Be sure none of the pins are bent, missing or damaged. If they are, service is needed for the changer and Wave system.

For homemade media, try a different brand of disc, different software or different burning settings.

Different disc players can respond differently to burned media. If you have trouble playing burned discs, try burning a different brand of disc. You can also try different disc burning software. In the software settings, try selecting a slower burning speed (e.g. 4x or 8x). Additionally, if the software has an option to finalize the disc, select that also before burning.
