I buy this system Xmas 2001 . ... there a few `` nagging item '' I would of like do differently but overall I be very pleased .  the good 1 -rrb- sound great ! the subwoofer & -lrb- 5 -rrb- satellite speaker be nice look & compact . and the output be plenty for we 12 ' x 16 ' room . 2 -rrb- Plays virtually all type of CD 's perfectly . I use dvd , CD-audio , CD-R & CD-RW with MP3s . I have encounter no skip problem . 3 -rrb- I plug my exist CD changer & my HiFi VCR into it be RCA jack . these component be integrate well . 4 -rrb- 5.1 Dolby Digital dvd output . 5 -rrb- dvd playback feature be adequate . Picture quality be perfect -lrb- of course - it be digital -rrb- .  the bad 1 -rrb- no dvd zoom or similar feature I have see on other player . not a real big deal to I ... 2 -rrb- no built-in DTS decoder . again not a big deal to I as Dolby digital kick ! 3 -rrb- it take approx 5 sec to `` read '' a disc before any playback can begin . 4 -rrb- there be no text display for mp3 file & the unit do not `` chapter '' folder the way some unit I have see will . for instance if you have individual album in separate folder , you can not `` chapter '' from folder-to-folder . this unit only skip track although you can type in a `` go-to '' track # .  the ugly 1 -rrb- very slow disc change . I time it at about 12 sec . almost best to consider it a single disc player . 2 -rrb- mp3 playback seem to be limit to a maximum of 160 kbp encode rate . this be annoying to I as I have many recording at 192 + kbps and this unit will jump\/skip at high bit-rate . 3 -rrb- the unit tend to get hot seemingly due to it be `` Energy Star '' compliance that cycle the fan on\/off . I actually return the 1st unit I would purchase think the fan be not work . after get the 2nd one and watch the fan , I realize it cycle . take heed and install in a ventilate area with good air flow !
