just over a year ago I be want to purchase a home theater system for the family to enhance the enjoyment of watch movie . after look around we discide to purchse RCA 's model rt-2300 Digital sound processor . after set up the system we enjoy many movie and the sound be wonderful . we even add a dvd player to further advance the enjoyment of watch movie . when the system be almost a year old , the nightmare start . on occasion the system would shut down by itsself and would not powerup again for several minute . this seem to only be a minor inconvience after all , it only happede occasionally . -lrb- at first : -lcb- -rrb- soon the system would not even power up for more that a few seconds and all movie watch stop . I have take the system in for repair three different time -lrb- for around $ 100 -rrb- and the system still do not work . the receiver have spend the last seven -lrb- 7 -rrb- month in and out of the repair shop and still no remedy have be find . ocord to the repairman , he call RCA for some technical help in find the problem and they say they do not know anything about the reciever because they do not manufacture it directly . so I have a receiver that will sit around and collect dust until the next yard sale . I will most likely hold on to the speaker , after all one can not have too many book end in the library . in short , be CAREFUL when consider the rca rt-2300 .
