I be a real Panasonic fan and usually love they product , but if I have my choice again I would buy something else . I be not angry I buy this , but I be sure there be better out there .  I be not a real audiophile , so I do not feel qualify to rate the sound on this system . Suffice to say I have be very happy with that aspect .  the feature , however , leave a lot to be desire .  First , pretend that this be a single-disc player . you can not change a disc while do anything else . you can not change a disc while play another disc , while listen to the radio , you vcr or auxilliary channel . add to that the fact that change from one disc to another take around ten seconds -lrb- easily twice the time I be use to for change disc -rrb- . it also stop after each disc - you can not set it to play all disc through .  second , this be the only cd-player I have see in year that skip regularly . on disc that play fine on all my other cd player , this one skip , stutter and sometimes stop entirely . it seem about as good as the first generation of cd player , back in the late 80 's . I intend to call customer support about this - hopefully this be not normal for this system .  Third , the control be confuse and difficult to use . I be a technical person who usually dive into all the setting on everything , but the control for the various surround mode seem ill-thought-out and generally difficult to commit to memory .
