    This unit is simple to operate with the remote - much better than my old one with locations on top of the unit that you were supposed to push but seldom worked. Sound quality is outstanding.

    This purchase was a 'repeat performance' for me due to my satisfaction with a previous product. I brought this one exppecting it to be as closely as possible identical to the previous one which was plain excellent. The other outlived its extended guarntee, something new to me on this kind of products.
