Audiovox RS1249 Audio Shelf System

I bought this thing before I had any knowledge of what a good piece of audio equipment was. I only had this for about 3 months until it stopped working. Everything was lighting up but when I tried to play a CD or an audiotape or listen to the tuner, I wasn't getting any audio. The RS1249 had a warranty but it cost me $60 to ship it back to Texas which was half or the original price. I took about 3 weeks to get my replacement for it and in less than a year, that one was totaled as well. It started making weird noises when I opened and closed the CD tray. Then it would occasionally become stuck and I had to apply force to close it until it finally would almost never close. I had one of my CDs get stuck and I had to take it all apart. When I looked inside, mostly everything that could be plastic WAS plastic. Also, in the time that it did work, it would pick up radio signals even when it wasn't set to tuner or turned off completely. At night, I would have to unplug it or else it would wake me up picking up some random station. The RS1249 also puts of some hiss whenever it's plugged in. It would have been nice if it had a dial as well for the volume instead of the up down buttons. Don't waste your money on this piece of garbage. Go out and buy a system that has a receiver and separate CD player or tape deck. If you have to get a book shelf system for space or money reasons, do yourself a favor and don't buy this product
