  If your Bose Media Converter system isn't working, ensure the power connector is securely plugged into the music center, the Acoustimass module power cord is securely plugged into the module, and the power pack and power cord are plugged into operating AC wall outlets. Also, be sure to select a source (CD, AM/FM, etc.). If the issue persists, unplug the music center power pack for a minute, then reconnect it to reset the unit after a power surge or interruption.

  If your Bose Media Converter remote control is acting up, first check the batteries and their polarity (+ and –). If that doesn't solve the issue, try operating the remote closer to the music center. You might also need to make sure the remote control house code matches the music center code.

  If your Bose Media Converter isn't playing CDs, verify the music center CD cover is closed. Check if the play symbol in the display is lit. After pressing the CD key, wait a few seconds before pressing PLAY. Ensure there is a disc in the player, label-side up. The disc may be damaged, so try another disc. Clean the CD if there is dirt or dust. Note that the music center cannot play a DVD disc.
