Pretty Good...
I bought for my parents and myself so we could listen to music and also listen to audio from the T.V. Unfortunatly I never got around to buying audio cables to hook up the stereo to the tv.
The stereo does a good job of playing CDs; produces high quality stereo sound, though the CD scaner is very sensative in that scratches on a CD will upset the sound...

Must be "reset" and won't play unattended for an extended time.
Product has good sound quality and all features perform as expected. However, we needed it to play softly through the night on the "repeat all disks" setting, in a sickroom. This it won't do. The CD player "hangs up" after few hours and stops. If we unplug it, then re-plug it in, it will work again. Since this unit replaced a similar earlier model that had begun...

I bought for my parents and myself so we could listen to music and also listen to audio from the T.V. Unfortunatly I never got around to buying audio cables to hook up the stereo to the tv.
The stereo does a good job of playing CDs; produces high quality stereo sound, though the CD scaner is very sensative in that scratches on a CD will upset the sound quality with anoying static pulses.
The radio is the real disappointment with this product. If radio reception isn't great, the unit will often get confused and keep automatically switching between Stereo and mono sound playback. When reception is good enough for stereo, loud bass in music will upset the sound quality (only in radio mode).
Over all, The Stereo system can be better, but it serves my purposes well enough.

I think the title says it all. So many problems from day one -- I have stood in front of this thing for 10 minutes trying to get it to read and play one freaking CD! Displays "reading" forever, then just stops, or doesn't read at all and doesn't play...invest in another $[...] and get yourself something decent. I will NEVER buy RCA again!

The RCA RS2663 is nothing but trouble. It chews up tapes. Now the door won't open and 1 CD is inside. This happened before. I had to unplug and unscrew the panels, finally got the tray to slide out. I put it all back together again and it worked great for 1 day. The next day, the tray won't open again. I won't buy another RCA product again. Their engineering sucks. Also, the Bass Boost is too much but, without it, the sound is even worse.

This product was defective. It wouldn't play CDs. The manufacturer directed us to the seller, and the seller directed us to the manufacturer. We got no resolution, and are out the money we paid for this piece of garbage.

After a few months the CD player stopped working. If you read the other reviews it seems that many have the same complaint. The system is obviously defective.

THIS WAS THE ONLY BOOKSHELF STEREO I COULD FIND WITH A CASSETTE PLAYER. THE ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE CASSETTE PLAYER IS NOT AUTO REVERSE. OTHER THAN THAT I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL STEREO. THE FIVE DISC CD PLAYER HAS EASY TO USE CONTROLS AND PLAYS GREAT.
