I be far from a ` audiophile ' , but I do recognize and appreciate quality sound when I hear it . this system be UNBELIEVEABLE , and I manage to find it on sale @ a mere $ 129 ! I be remodel a large vessel , so ` down-sizing '' be a important word . in the last 4 month , I have be through six system , from Sony , Panasonic , RCA , Philips , and 2 Samsung unit , with price range from -lrb- yes -rrb- $ 129 to over $ 600 . `` Woulda , coulda , shoulda '' - - if I have any idea of the amazing quality of sound , the ease of use , the flawless operation of this 5-disc system , I ` woulda , coulda , shoulum ' scoop up as many as I could have grab . no two hour reading lesson on `` how to use you remote '' or other needless technical stuff . I have have it for 3 week and NOT one flaw ! the other unit I have try have `` eat '' CD 's & dvd 's , refuse to play other , frequently ` skip ' over dvd image , or simply be far too complex to use . the best of the other be also make by Samsung , but with the ` tower ' speaker\/sub-woofer combo it be just too large for use on the boat . but my sister love it ! I enjoy the ` glow in the dark ' feature of the remote -lrb- but it so simple , I now know the ` touch ' by heart -rrb- . I do wish it would continue to play a disc when I want to open the tray to add or change one , but I do not think the ` carousel ' multi-disc system have that capability . a small inconvenience . if - - and I have a sense that be a BIG `` if '' - - I encounter problem with the system , I 'll add another review as I know these be helpful . I be concern about a system at only $ 129 , but I would happily have pay twice that amount for what I get ! ecb - - Ventura , CA `` the spirit of Troy ''
