Intermittent audio from product
If the sound played from your product cuts in and out, plays inconsistently or is choppy-sounding, try the following:
Be sure the system is set up properly and all connections are secure.
A connection may have come loose or may be connected incorrectly. For more info, see Setting up your product.
Reset your system
A reset is used to correct occasional product issues. It is not something that a product should require repeatedly. For more info, see Resetting your product.
Check the condition of the speaker wires and be sure they are secure at both ends.
Check the speaker wires for any kinks, scratches, cuts or damage. Replace any damaged wires and check that they are securely connected at both ends.
Replace the cables used to connect your product
Try replacing the cables that connect your product. If no issue is heard with new cables, the first set of cables is the issue.
Try another input on the Bose system.
The input may be defective; try another input (it is ok to use a different type of input, for example analog instead of digital or digital coax instead of digital optical). If the problem only occurs on one input, that input may be defective. Follow the link below for more information on how to service your product. Depending on your product and region, you will be provided a contact number or the ability to setup service online.

Check for sources of interference.
Electronics can pick up interference from other electronics connected to the same power circuit or connected within close proximity. Try disconnecting the power cord from any such nearby electronics (i.e. laptop/phone charger, TV, cable box, seasonal lights, microwave, etc.). If the issue is resolved, try connecting the device or your product to a different power circuit or farther away.
