I was so wrong. To peplace the "beam" in my Toshiba would cost more than it would cost me to buy a new CD player. My brother said that that was the way that they were built today. Throwaways! I did my homework and found that Circuit City had just what I needed and at a lower price than their competitors. Ordered online, picked up at the store and no shipping cost. Low cost extended warranty. I'm very happy and all is good! Nancy...

This was rated at 300 watts and had  a 5-cd mechanism. — The sound was fairly good, particularly with the mega bass and surround sound adjustment. However, it seemed no more powerful that the Sharp unit which was rated at 180 watts and less powerful than the unit I replaced it with, an LG shelf system rated at 160 watts. — It was also a little too large for the space, so I had one of the speakers on the floor. — From the start, I had problems with CDs skipping, which would get better with cleaning, but still much more than with the Sony Boom Box I had used for years.Worse, the CD mechanism locked up and I had to turn the power off and shake the unit to get the CD in there out. — So, I...
