A curse upon this lame machine

It operates so slowly, and I hear a quiet grinding sound, so it makes me think it was dropped enough to be damaged but not completely broken. And I researched stereos for such a long time before settling on this one. I am so disappointed. To turn it on, I select "on" with the remote, which is so cheap and small it falls out of my hand, and then must stand and wait while the machine grinds along trying to start up. After several second - long enough to spend time looking out the window for awhile -- the CD comes on, and then I can select play all or repeat or whatever. It's as though this was the first stereo system using digital functionality. Let me repeat -- IT IS SO SLOW. I curse it every time I use it. Hope that helps. :}
