I purchase this system from another retailer last Christmas . the first 3 or 4 time I use the unit , it work great . after that , with dvd , the screen would randomly go black . after restart the unit , it start work again for about 5 min . I decide to use it for radio in another room . after about 2 use for this , the unit would emit a loud ` pop ' through all the speaker and then lock up , it would not respond to the remote or button on the front , even the power button . unit would then be reset only by unplug it . through the vent in the top I could see blow capacitor and small burn mark on the board . I contact customer service and it take almost 6 week to hear back . I send it back -lrb- at my cost for shipping -rrb- to have it repair . 2 month later I get a replacement unit -lrb- serial number be different -rrb- . it work for about 8 hour and then the sound would randomly fade out and back in . I contact customer service again and after 2 week have a reply with a shipping label to send back . 2 month later I get the unit back -lrb- again a new one -rrb- . after about 10 hr of use , its do the same same thing with the sound fading . I find that this issue can be resolve by let the unit sit for about 2 week between use , then it will work for about 20 min before the issue come back . I will never purchase another rca device again , the customer service be crap and after 3 different unit , still have the same problem . and since have the unit for about a year , have only be able to use it about a 12 time . I finally go out and spend $ 500 on a good lg lhb535 . no more problem . all in all , the RCA unit be garbage and the only good thing with it be the speaker work fairly well . so basically you be spend $ 100 for decent speaker .
