The subwoffer stopped working after a short time. Actually, I am not sure it ever worked properly. The Bose rapair center says it works fine. It does not. A waste of good money.

this product has agreat sound but thats about it,i have a 30 dollar dvd player thats more reliable than this...if i can do it all over again i c would just buy the speakers with another system

This is one of the most expensive electronic purchases I have ever made but it was worth it!!! I don't know why so many people are having problems. I did receive a software update last summer that repaired a weird glitch with the remote controlling my TIVO/DIRECTV receiver, but that's it. Bose is very helpful over the phone. This system beats any 5-6 speaker system I have ever owned but I don't recommend it for a large room because you do have to depend on the speakers bouncing off the walls since there are no rears. I don't know why so many people say it won't play their discs. Mine plays everyting from DVDs to CDRs and even bootleg DVDs!!! Maybe they should call Bose and get the free software upgrade. Here's a bit of advice before purchasing anything this expensive: go to a Bose Outlet Store, Best Buy or Sears and listen to it before you buy it! I bought mine in November of 2004 for about 1700.00 from Best Buy when it was still new, and now it's dropped almost half in price in almost 2 years. Shame on you Bose.

I was wondering if I was the only person who didn't like my BOSE. Who knew?
As most of the other reviewers I purchased this item after listening to it in a store. It did have good sound, but not technically "surround sound". I've had numerous problems with the DVD drawer and last night, after one last round with it, I snatched it from the entertainment center and literally HURLED it onto the floor after 5 years of this. Good riddance. No headphone jack. Can only play one CD at the time, and not worth the original price. I've learned my lesson. My friends have the megaexpensive BOSE home theatre and it is certianly worth every penny from what I can tell. But the 3-2-1
system.......NAH. Go buy something else.

This product has Made in Chinaaa all over it. Non-functioning DVD player ... a Chinese specialty. BUT is has Marketed in USA all over it as well - with big promises, hi-profile TV advertsising, etc. The profit margins have to be ENORMOUS !!! So line up all you "audiophiles" and buy this trash.
