Negative Positive
Title: Defective product
Review: Wish the negative reviews had been on Amazon when our family first purchased 2 of these systems. Even when the product works, it's painfully slow to change & read discs; now both our units have the developed the same problem others have reported, namely getting stuck on "STANDBY" instead of turning off, refusing to read DVDs, and getting stuck playing CDs. So yes, it is NOT a fluke, this is a defective product, if you get hold of one and it isn't broken yet, it will be eventually.However, I still use it as a surround sound system, and must admit it sounds pretty good, but I have to plug a cheapo DVD player into an AV input (it only has 2..) to watch DVDs with surround... which is absurd, but I can thank Sony for making this ripoff.And for what it's worth: leaving the system off when not using it seems to improve its longevity.
Is the review positive or negative?
