I purchased this, but when I use it in car, only one speaker out of six works. Should this happen or is unit defective? With radio &CD player, all

that should not happen.. yours is def defective... im ordering a better one.. this one the sound is starting to sound static like don't buy it.. and the bass boost button interferes with the quality of the sound.. no good!

It shouldn't happen. All speakers should work. My only guess is that something is not connected right or the balance is not set in the proper position either on the unit or in your vehicle. If it is then I would try another one.

Hello. If everything works without the cassette, its possible the Maxell CD-330 is defective. Look at the heads on the cassete deck, and make sure they are clean. If this continues, contact Amazon for a refund or exchange.They have an excellent return policy! Sorry to hear about your problem. I hope this helps! -G.

If you are using with phone and phone is in somd kind of case, its possible that the pin does NOT go all the way in. In that case, you may hear from one of the speakers.

All my stuff (A/C adaptor, cd player, and remote) worked fine. I had no issue with either of these things. I would send it back so that you can get a refund.

Currently, I am experiencing this same problem, and contacted JBL technical support team. They said the unit is defective and that they would send a replacement unit, provided that I follow the given instructions, which was not problematic to me. Simply put, this is a common problem, and JBL is willing to right a wrong.

Hi Stacey! I relly can not imagine what could have happened with this unit. Mine works fine, good sound. I owned one for over a year and no problem so far.

very common,my girlfriend and I both have Bose and both have major issues with cd playing ,with no help from Bose.The only thing I would suggest is to unplug and "reboot" system,however there is a major design flaw with the Bose cd player portion of the Wave radio.it is a 500 radio with a dimestore cd player.Funny thing is Bose refuses to acknowledge this widespread problem.

hi Sarah, this boom box came broken (CD part), the quality of the sound for the radio is very poor. I would suggest you to look for another option. it is pretty, but that is it.

Confirming that this one does not resume CDs or MP3-CDs. My car player does, of course--I suppose that's standard with them. I also have an old Rio portable CD/MP3-CD player, that does, but it has no speakers---so I can actually team it up with this Panasonic using a simple audio cable, and have resume.

Hi, I. Cambell, yes it seems like a defect in your particular radio. You may want to consider an exchange. my fm is fine.

Like the sound isn't working at all? Do you hear any static or white noise? I've used this is a 96 Nissan sentra and a 2002 Nissan maxima. Make sure your radio is set to tape and try both sides of the cassette

The problem I had was not lack of sound, but it won't turn on when I plug it in. There must be a short in the electrical wiring on my unit. I did have sound when I began using it -- nothing great, no Bose equipment. I'm sorry, but I think this is junk. I don't know what to do with it. I will find a place that recycles electrical appliances and give it to them. Alison

I haven't had that problem, but my right speakers on a beautiful old boom box just went out. If there is a generic fix that might be applicable to you I'll get back to you.

Idk I only use two speakers and mine works great. You might wanna make sure that all of your speakers are plugged in correctly

interference of some kind or the speaker wires aren't connected correctly, or may be loose. I hooked ours up the way the amp I replaced was hooked up and the Pyle didn't work. Turned out to be much simpler. The second configuration I tried hummed and the sound was staticy. I think I have all 6 of our PAs combined to 1 set of wires and on one speaker connection and it has worked perfectly all summer. Hope that helps.

If the volume is not like a standard radio where you can turn it up and be able to comfortably listen to it in another room then I think there is something wrong with the one you bought. I have plenty of volume, with the volume control set a #5 I can hear the radio in every room of our house. If by chance you have external speakers plugged into the line out jack, then you need amplified speakers. the line out jack is an un-amplified output. If you are using the actual radio speaker and there is a fuzzy-ness especially with the bass turned up possiblely the speaker has a crack in it and that would affect the amount of volume.

yes - that's why i purchased this. Sometimes my car player heats up and skips. We're trading up soon, so rather that spend the extra to replace it, i switch to the Coby unit with portable speakers.

Unfortunately, this has happened three times to my multi-changer units. I have had the multi-changers refurbished for a bit under $100 twice through Bose, and I plan to do the same with my spare. I use the CD slot in disc #1 - the Wave unit - so I don't have to replace it, so I use slots #2 through #4 on the multi-changer unit. I hope to continue to get all my CD's on a hard drive so I can use the Wave III with the Bluetooth. Best of luck.

If you've recently bought it, send it back for a refund (the whole unit). Otherwise you may have to contact Amazon. It's pretty common that this unit fails in some way. I had two arrive "dead on arrival" before finally getting one that worked.
