OK ! If you're like me, you read all of the reviews to get a sense of whether or not the item would suit your needs.
While reading the reviews, I noticed that a couple of people said that the DVD player stopped working also mentioned was a remote not working.

With that said, here is my take:
The batteries that came with it for the remote were dead.
Once I put in fresh batteries the remote worked just fine.
I bought this unit mainly for the sound and I was very happily surprised how good it is.
The sound is rich and clear. It sounds better than some units costing more than twice as much.
Seriously; This unit is worth much more than the selling price.
Amazingly this unit even have a USB port and a card reader along with a AM/FM Radio and DVD player.
Setup is a breeze. The unit is hefty and very well made.

I never thought that I could get such a great unit for such an extremely low price.
If you buy this unit. You will not be disappointed.

BTW: Someone rated this unit as 1 star due to shipping issues, which brought the overall rating down.
Shipping issues has nothing whatsoever to do with the unit itself and should not have been posted here in the reviews section.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost...., February 28, 2009

Looks and sounds good, people notice it. It's hefty so be sure you have a secure place to put it. Missing HDMI port (ouch), apparently only supports FAT file format for USB drives/keys. On mine, the plastic covering the optical and s-video ports was mis-aligned so I had to trim them to get the cables to go in. USB and DVD share output, so you have to umplug USB to use the DVD.
