Customer Rating:      Summary: Lasted only 2 weeks Comment: I bought a "refurbished" unit for my mother-in-law. All she wanted was the CD music and Sirius radio - no DVD or anything else. Felt for this "basic functionality" I was OK with a used unit. Well guess again! Unit totally quit working after only 2 weeks. Does power on then just sits there with a blank screen. You cannot even power it off. Only way to power off is to unplug it. Wow! I am just starting to work though the Customer Service nightmare. Oh, and by the way, "Sirius Ready" means you have to buy an additional $50 receiver for it to work with Sirius.
Customer Rating:      Summary: stay away Comment: The price looks good but after you need to send it back several times it becomes expensive. I had three units and they all had the same problem. CD's skipped between every song and DVD's either wouldn't play or would have a split screen. The customer service is a complete nightmare. The people there specialize in giving you the run-around. I finally got my money back after 7 months of fighting and $95 in shipping that I will not get back. Also, the customer service phone number in the instruction manual and on the RCA website is incorrect. DO NOT BUY THIS STEREO! Do yourself a favor and spend a little more for a better unit.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Avoid like the plague! Comment: I have had this system for 4 months and I have replaced it three times. The first one had an internal cooling fan so loud that it drowned out the sound of the movies. RCA says "defective." The second one wouldn't play 3/4 of my DVDs--ones that had scratches and ones that were fresh out of the case. Again, "defective unit." The third one has trouble accessing special features and sub-menus. It will freeze in the middle of a film. Sometimes it won't turn off! I have to unplug it. So...when the fourth one gets here, it's off the Craigslist--RCA WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY for a consistently defective product. I couldn't be less happy with this product. What good is surround sound if the player won't play the media? I end up playing movies on my Playstation 2--which NEVER has problems playing DVDs. Too bad the RCA receiver has no suitable audio input for the PS2. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR GET YOUR HOPES UP WITH THIS EXCREMENTAL PRODUCT.
Customer Rating:      Summary: WHIP411 Comment: After reading other reviews I had my reservations to buy the RTD260 system. But, price and the features it offers (every thing including HDMI)with 1000 Watts of power, I would give it a try. I'm not using it with an HDTV yet but will need it in the future if I purchase one. I purchased the unit through Amazon. I could track the unit from when my order was processed to when I received it. I purchased this to install it in my RV 5th wheel (36')Camper. The speakers were small enough to be mounted with speaker mounting brackets I purchased from ShopKo.It took about 4 hours to install and run the wires so they would be hidden. When I fired the system up the Radio (AM/FM)worked very well. The sound had the best quality in the Stereo mode. I think this was because the Radio station transmitted in Stereo. Put in the 1st movie and WOW!!! It was just like being at the theater. Sub-Woofer added so much to the movie. Didn't try the USB input or the (2) external audio inputs yet but bottom line I'm very pleased with this unit.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Hope the 3rd time is a charm Comment: Well, just as a few other reviews I have read, I'm working on sending my second unit back to the service center for an exchange. The first unit started by randomly telling me that my DVD was a "BAD Disc" after about of minute of trying to load. Then it would lock up or freeze while playing a movie and I had to unplug it to reset the thing. Sent that one in and got a new unit that played fine the first few days and then, you guessed it, right back to the same symptoms once again. This time around I was able to get the service rep to send me a prepaid shipping label to send the unit back so I don't have to fork over another $41 shipping fee to send it back. If you're looking for a home theater system you may want to spend the extra money on one that you won't end up watching your movies on between returns and exchanges. This one is not a good choice at all so far.
