For Christmas I visited relatives with a Bose stereo. The tuner/CD
changer feeds audio through a cord to the subwoofer, which has the
amplifier.

A CD has jammed in the changer. The way to open the case is not
obvious. Bose says it would void the warranty, but they will charge
$200 plus shipping to fix it.

Would it be better to replace that component with another brand of
tuner/changer?

Yes. The unit isn't as good as a $150 panasonic sold at target/walmart/kmart.
The $99 RCA minisystem (also with a changer) is also a superior unit.
