Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this item about 2 years ago and put it on the shelf with the wave set. The system has only been used in moderation since only play cd's on the weekends and not always then. Up until yesterday the multi-changer worked fine as you would expect since it hasn't been overused and I have taken care with it. Then, for no apparent reason, the multi-changer refused to read the discs and reported "disc error" on the screen. The main unit played CDs fine but then three multi-changer slots would not read the same disc that played on the main unit so clearly the disc was not at fault. I called customer service at Bose and was told that the multi-changer was malfunctioning and it would cost $75 plus tax and shipping to repair it since the one year warranty had expired. I guess this is fair, but considering how BOSE hypes their products in the media, one would expect this product to last somewhat longer that 2 years for the price of $249. I would be interested in knowing if other buyers of the multi-changer have had problems with this product after only a relatively short time. Normally I would expect a multi-changer to last a minimum of 5 years or more without a problem. Two years of service means I paid $125 per year which seems a very high price for this option.
