RCA RS2652 Stereo System Our Rating:

This stereo system is a great choice. It appeals to the eye, has great sound, and has many features. We like almost everything about it.

Let’s start with the features. It has a 5-disc changer with the ability to change discs in the changer while a disc is playing. It can play all sorts of audio types – from a regular CD, to an mp3 or wma CD, as well as CD-Rs and CD-RWs. It also has a regular AM/FM tuner and and auxiliary mode.

The speakers are not attached to the base unit. They have separate speaker wires for the subwoofer inside of them, along with the normal speaker wires. This is what gives the speakers great sound. The system also has a headphone port.

The stereo has many other simple features, such as display brightness, multiple equalizer filters, including a custom filter, a demo mode, and various play modes.

There are a couple things that didn’t sit so well with us though. The disc changer broke pretty quickly. It still works fine, but it slides out funny and slow, and sometimes needs help getting back in. The AV input seemes misplaced in the front as well; however it still works fine. Also, the remote for the stereo often has many issues – it does commands other than the buttons you press quite often. Other than this, the stereo is wonderful and produces amazing sound.
