I bought this sytem solely for the price. I think I bought it for about $250 or so 5-6 months ago. The unit began having problems immediately. Don't get me wrong, the sound is really quite good. But the DVD functionality is terrible. Response from button/remote input is extremely poor. The discs get hung up all the time in some kind of spinning limbo, where the system is completely unresponsive - sometimes requiring me to turn the systems on/off several times and attempting eject the disc. All my movies skip constantly! Brand new, untouched, out of the box discs, skip and lock-up for no reason. And then, for no reason at all, the remote stops working. Menu, FF, RW, Play - none of them work - and the issue is not related to batteries or anything. It is a completely frustrating experience just to sit down and try to watch a movie all the way through. I just want to sit down, and relax. But it is always a hassle do get the discs to play, or to pause and restart the movie, or just watch scenes get completely stalled and chunked up. I am actually more relaxed before I try to sit down and watch a movie.

So, when the system works, it works fine. But those times are few and far between. And again, this issues didn't arise after increased usage. They have basically been there since the beginning. Avoid this system like the plague!
