Great radio, but the CD player broke

I bought this stereo from Best Buy during the beginning of September 2006. My mistake was thinking that this stereo would be as good as a similarly priced Sony stereo. Not true!
At first, I loved this player; great controls, bright screen, lots of radio presets. It even promised to play mp3s. After about 45 days, it stopped playing CDs. I would put in a disc, factory compact disc, not a burned CDrom, and it wouldn't play. Best Buy stated it was a manufacturing problem and refused to refund me. Be warned, my stereo broke in less than two months. No more Dual products for me, ever! I ended up buying a JVC player as a replacement.
