I have this system for about 2 years. Initially it was great. Now left speaker does not work with CD's. It's still OK for radio and cassette. I sent e.mail to Sony and they offered refurbished system for 93$ (brand new costs max.99$) or repair for 110$.It looks like a usual problem with this system (see other reviews). Next time I'll buy Sharp or Panasonic or Philips.
