Comment:

Inputting cds and then playing without them is a great idea, but it doesnt work in their equipmwnt. There is constant crossover between music types, eg, operas, and even presets or playlists of cocktail piano are contaminated.<br />I thought it was something that could be adjusted, but have had two eXPENSIVE service calls, both service men claim it is just part of the system, and they have the same trouble with theirs at home.<br />It seems that Bose spends too much on advertising, and not enough on quality development.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
