Bought this from Circuit City. It set up easily, and although I am no great judge of sound quality, it produces very good sound. It has an equalizer with presets, and a custom mode that you can configure to your own tastes. It seems to have more than ample power, plus the remote works well. So far, I have not encountered any problems. It has an AM/FM radio that does the job. I use the RS2664 mainly to play MP3 white noise for sleeping, which works well. I also created a few MP3 disks of about 125 songs each, and it plays flawlessly. However, with a USB port, the RS2664 can record directly from a CD to any USB MP3 player/recorder. From my perspective, the workmanship is just fine. All-in-all for under a hundred bucks, this is hard to beat.

It is hard to find a shelf stereo with a 5 disc changer, and for such a low price. I love the look and features of this stereo, but I have had nothing but bad luck with the operation. I had ongoing trouble where the cd's randomly stopped playing, as if they were not being read. (I had no problem with the same cd's playing on another stereo.) I exchanged the stereo, thinking it was a defect but the second one did the very same thing, The last straw was when the cd drawer went bad and would not release the cd's. I am returning this for a refund.

We bought this for our daughter and it skipped every cd we tried. Unfortunately, we had to pack it up and return it the next day...on the hunt for a good quality stereo...

FM Tuner did not work well. It would tune a station, then fade to fuzz after about 20 seconds. We kept it because the unit sounded great with the CD player. Then, after a couple months the CD sound started to hiss. It seems one of the speakers went out. It is now out of store warrenty so I can't return it, so I shipped it back to RCA and am waiting for a replacement unit.

The first time I loaded CDs they became stuck and i couldn't eject them and the player wouldn't do anything. After unsuccessfully trying to get help I returned the CD player at my own expense. The whole experience was frustrating. If Amazon is going to sell items from another vendor, they should make sure that they select a vendor who is reliable.

Got this outfit for Xmas. Often stopped in the middle of the CD..paused..
...then started again. Sometimes I have 5 CD's in there and it says "no disc". Controls are minimal. Bass feature has just 2 settings. Somtimes
it just won't play when the correct buttong are hit. pretty poor quality
gizmo. When it plays, the sound is OK.

This unit has a decent look, and great sound for the price.. My only few complaints are that when listening to FM stations, the tuner seems to fade into static on a clear channel, so you have to turn it off and back on to get it back..

Also it randomly turns on at night and wakes me up, and I have yet to figure out a solution..

This has been a really great system especially because i can listen to my mp3 player using the USB port. 5 Disc cd changer works great and i love the fact you can load other cd's into it while a cd is playing. Sound quallity is incredible it sounds like it would be a 300 - 400 dollar system. Overall ive been very happy with this product

Bought this stereo system from HEB food store here in San Antonio for $99. The only problem I have had with it is that, as several other reviewers have noted, the FM radio stations seem to fade out a couple of minutes after you turn it on. You can turn it off and turn it back on, or just switch around to a few different stations and then switch back to the station you want to listen to, and it will be okay for awhile.
All the other features on this stereo system work great, and the thing has exceptional sound quality. Unfortunately, one of the main things I like to listen to is the local NPR station, so I'm still debating the fate of this stereo. Right now I just have a clock radio sitting on top of it for when I want to listen to the radio, but that just ain't right!....lol

The sound is pretty good, but my drawer became stuck in the open position after a year and a half.
