Each assembly is fully tested on a dedicated, known-good 3-disc changer base to ensure proper operation before shipping.
Please note: performance also depends on the condition of your existing base unit and ribbon cable connections.

3-DISC CHANGER ASSEMBLY — EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Heritage Sound Works LLC
RESTORE YOUR BOSE WAVE THE RIGHT WAY
This serviced replacement fixes common Bose Wave problems such as Disc Error messages, “Not Playable” errors, CDs not reading, or changer assembly failures.
This listing is for a serviced replacement through our Heritage Exchange Program.
You receive a tested replacement changer assembly first, install it in your radio, and then return your original assembly using the prepaid return label included in the package.
HOW THE EXCHANGE WORKS
1. Purchase the exchange listing.
2. We ship a serviced replacement changer assembly immediately.
3. Install the replacement assembly in your radio.
4. Place your original assembly in the package and return it using the prepaid return label.
This system keeps your radio downtime to a minimum.
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
• One serviced & fully tested changer assembly
• Protective packaging
• Prepaid return shipping label
• Simple return instructions
BONUS INCLUDED:
Every changer assembly includes a FREE system update disc.
In some cases, Bose Wave systems require a software update for proper communication between the radio and CD changer. This disc is included to eliminate that issue and ensure a smoother installation.
This is just one more way we help our customers avoid common problems and get up and running faster.
SERVICE PROCESS
Each replacement assembly is carefully prepared before shipment.
• Internal inspection
• Mechanical transport check
• Lens cleaning
• Functional testing
These are serviced exchange assemblies — not random pulled parts.

Only a Phillips-head screwdriver is required.
Basic steps:

• Remove the four screws holding the changer assembly in place.

No soldering or special tools are required.

COMMON SYMPTOMS THIS FIXES

IMPORTANT NOTE
This listing is for the changer assembly only.
If your Bose Wave also has issues such as:

then the control board may also require service.
PREPAID RETURN LABEL INCLUDED
