I bought this stereo nearly a year ago and it was working great until a couple weeks ago. At first the CD player was having troubles, wouldn't recognize or play certain CDs (regardless of type: original or burned CD). Then, one day, the sound just didn't work. No sound coming out of the speakers or the headphone jack at all. There are several online reports of this being a common problem with this model. Aparently it's not worth the repair....

i work for radio shack (now the source by circut city) i have seen prob. 10 of these systems come in that are less than a year old all with the same problem, everything apears to be working but system puts out absolutely no sound. so if your system works whatever you do don't move it!!! that seams to be the similarity between all customers having this problem. the system is garbage if you want to listen to your sterio for a wile without haveing to treat it like glass spring a couple extra dollars. after all you get what you pay for.

I bought this stereo model 1 1/2 years ago, and the speakers recently quit on me. I'm in the Army, and, as being in the Army goes, I move around alot. The system was working fine for me in Arizona where I first bought it. Then, I had to move to Korea, and the speakers worked well for the first 6 or 7 months, but afterwards they started to work intermittently. Next, I had to move to Texas, where the speakers worked for about a month. Now, no sound comes out. I think that there is something to the hypothesis that the system is extremely sensitive to movement. The sound quality is great, if you can actually get something out of the speakers.

I got this stereo for Christmas last year. Sadly, the speakers quit on me within a few months. RCA's brand quality is about Middle to Low. I like its features and sound quality, but the brand is probably the issue. Of course, I've only had one of these, so I don't really know how many stars to give it. It could of just been defected. But whatever - if you're planning on buying a stereo, I'd go for Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Pioneer, or some other inexpensive but quality designed unit.

I have been looking for a new system that was cheap, the system is great has good sound quailty do not have to wake up to change cd can also listen to my tapes.Bass is great and and sounds great too.
