Rating: Summary: If only it had a 6 CD changer..... Review: I bought this stereo in May of 2001 and it has never failed or had any problems. The speakers are powerful and the CD player can play all CD formats except for CD-RW's (I really wish it could play CD-RW's.) I have never had a single problem with this system. When I purchased it I expected it to be able to switch between CD to Radio to Cassette with the remote but it doesn't do that at all. The remote does in fact work to change the Volume, Radio Prestets, Scan through chanels, play/pause the CD player, change track on the CD player, skip around on the song, it can also with the remote shuffle and Repeat songs. I would strongly recommend this stereo to anyone who needs just a simple radio, but I would not reccommend it to anyone who would frequently use it due to the fact that it doesn't have a 6 CD Changer (I wish I got one with a six CD changer) I got this stereo and it replaced an older Sony boombox model. I like the purchase I made into this and I will continue to buy Philip's products along with many other brands.
Rating: Summary: Sounds Great! Review: I debated whether I should spend $... more and get this one that had a remote control. I am glad I did - it is so much easier. The system really sounds good too. I could have gotten a large stereo but I like the fact that this is portable and the speakers detach.
