I am constantly fighting with static and station reception and have had to hang the antenna wires all over everything for a clear signal. Now, at about 8 months, the CD player has completely stopped working. This unit no longer reads, recognizes or plays any CD's not matter what I do. I was drawn to the sleek design and thought the price wasn't bad either. I bought it for my office where it doesn't get much use (until after business hours). So, now I own a nice looking, static playing radio that if you're not careful will trip you up in it's antenna wires.
One thing that I was not expecting but that you should be aware of before purchasing is that the volume changes in preset intervals and there is a big gap between the lowest audible setting and mute - so that if you enjoy listening to music/radio very softly, such as when you fall asleep, you may wish to consider a different system or set it up in an adjacent room. This is a great stereo for a great price- I am very pleased with it and I found that most of the reviews here were very useful and accurate. (I lean books up against the speakers when needed)
It looks decent, but its sound quality, both from radio and CD, is so inferior and I don't think it's worth the money. Also the remote buttons are really hard to push down. I got this unit from Walmart yesterday for around $70. I'm returning it tomorrow.
I received this stereo as a gift a few years ago. We rarely use it because:-The remote stopped working after a month-Radio reception is poor-CD's skip constantly or there is the "No Disk" error-Volume #2 is way too loud for quiet meals or falling asleep to ( we've moved with it may times) and volume #1 sounds like it is no longer playing in stereo.
It will freeze up and stop if you try to scan through the tracks too quickly. I've continually had a problem with the remote. I purchased it because of the sleek design and fact that you could hang it on the wall. I paid only $80 for the system. The power button on the remote does not work. Save your money and do not buy this system. And of course my unit is just over a year old, right out of warranty.
The CD player skips a lot. I've changed the battery on the remote already. A new remote off the site costs $45. This unit is not very good at all. It doesn't handle slightly scratched cds well. This system is only 10 watts. If you are a casual radio listener and don't have to crank it up, then 10 watts may be enough player.
You will not be pleased.
