Thank you for posting this. I did take mine down to those micro switches and checked their continuity with a meter. I can't remember if I checked that gear but I think I did. It's been a while but I might check it again.
I just finished working over my 5-disc player. I got it used online, and it worked for 2 months when suddenly a disc would not play nor would it reject. I worked and worked on it, slowly learning how it came apart and went back together. After about 3 weeks, I had touched just about every part of the machine and reached the point where it is in better condition than it was when I got it. If anything goes wrong with it, unless it's something on a circuit board, I think I'm ready to repair it. This video was very helpful in my process.
@@thespecialist786 My comment was intended to tell a success story, but I see how you may have misunderstood. I got the player apparatus balanced and level on the elevator gears and then put the CD selectors in place. Everything has been working perfectly for 24 hours.

Thanks for the video, I just purchased the main unit which has the fron loading CD. It is.very unstable. Works great sometimes and then not. Can't read the disk at all or can't read all the songs.

You mentioned in your video about cleaning the micro switches, but didn't see you do that or did I miss it? Thanks
@@thespecialist786 Yes, one must have skills AND patience to work with these! I was told that I was only one of 5 techs worldwide who could repair these changers! (I once tore a 5-disc CD mechanism down to the LAST screw... And put it back together to win a bet with a co-worker). I may even have some of those gears in my home workshop.

One thing you can help me, where can I get them and what are the sensors called that sit behind the white loading gear that has a one large notch. This is the micro switch black with two tiny buttons. Can you help me with this information.
@@thespecialist786 I'm not sure which sensor your referring to... Unless you mean the switch board underneath the pcb assembly? Unfortunately, back in the day, when a 3 or 5-disc changer came in for repairs, we would simply replace the entire CD-mechanism. All of the gears and switches within had no part numbers. Only the cd mech had a known part number. When the old-style cd mechs became unavailable, we had no choice but to learn how to repair the internals by trial and error. So I don't know where you would find any individual components inside the cd mech. You would have to improvise with a similar sensor or switch.

How do you get the bottom off the 5 cd changer. Do you need to force it apart and do you need to remove the tiny screw in the center ledge on the bottom?

Hi there, I have a the 3000 5cd multi disc changer and I have the correct remote but I don't know how to reset/sync the 2 together 🤔? (Any advice or tips would be most welcome! Excellent video by the way👌👍🤔
Thank you for your question, I am a little puzzled what do you mean by Sync? The to items work indipendently. How every I am not which 5cd changer you have? If you look at the back on the changer the model should not read Wave Acoustic II. If it does you have to wrong model even if it works. You can not sync the two items. CD on the top works on its own and AUX allows the 5 CD changer to work.
I just use my external Sony 5 cd Changer In the aux input in the slim line wave system mine won’t even read the cd so I use my Sony 5 cd changer for mine
Yes, I can confirm Wave III does work with the 3 Disk cd changer but the changer is a special revision. Which is very rare to find as all the changers look the same. The seller should tell you if the changer works with wave III or not.
Very well explained, the problem i'm having is that the mechanism doesn't insert the cd, doesn't read it and doesn't eject it, but power is ok do you have any information to share to help me
Thank you for watching my channel, it seems you loading sensors are gone. Change the two led sensors that are on the housing in the front. They are located on the top of the CD assemble.

Hi, Taking this apart is not as simple as one would think. Even after you take it apart the ribbons will be in the way. The changer is very difficult to take apart. There is no easy way. You can push the unloaded disks out.

Hi, Thank you for posting your question on my channel. The bad news is there are no parts available for your unit. Bose have stop servicing the five disk changer few years ago. Now to find out what wrong I can tell you. Few of the switch sensors may have gone bad and also the spiral gear which loads the disk assembly may have broken off. All the issues on ur unit is mechinical nothing to with the PCB. You can try to open it but that could make it worse if not done correctly.
Hi, Thank you for your comments. Sadly the Five disc changer will have to be taken apart to release the cd’s becase they are usually locked in the chamber.

Radio and CD changer But again thank you for your response 👌👍🙏
Do they still sell the CD changer.
@@mairose7582 sorry to tell you, Bose do not make Wave Systems or Chnagers any more. So what you have is Gold. I am too far else I woul have repaired it for you.
as good as this video was, i wanted to know how to separate the plastic, i have removed every visible screw, yet this thing acts if there is a hidden screw.
Remove the rubber feet. Two hidden screws under the rubber feet. :-)
@@thespecialist786 thanks for your quick response, those rubbers are really glued in there, i knew there had to be more screws, but i had such a hard time getting those feet off, i just kept thinking i was missing something else.
@@carolinabeacher1558 that’s the idea, only to be opened by professionals:-)

@@thespecialist786 im no professional at all, someone gave it to me, i thought it was a wave radio with cd changer till i got home, now not sure if i will just steal parts out of it or just tinker with it with hope of learning something.
My God this video is exhausting
Amazing how people want information for free and still have the audacity to complain due to lack of knowledge and experience or willingness to learn or read between the lines.
@@thespecialist786 Info appreciated. Maybe I just had Pancreas surgery 30 hours ago an hate the World , right now. My Sincerest Apologies, Good Sir. I'm saving your video. It looks like the only way to fix this player.
Thanks Again!
Do did not actually fix anything.
What is your question?
Get to the point
@William Chow - What point are you looking for, you need to read between the lines. This is video is only for information not providing a solution.
Hello...I have a 5 CD changer and everything seems to function properly (CD transport) but it doesn't read the CDs...help!
Thank you for watching my channel, based on your description I would first clean the laser pickup lens with Alcohol. That should fix it. If you can make a video and send it that would be helpful.
