XAct XS027 Sirius Satellite Radio Portable Boombox with CD Player and AM/FM Tuner Review

I purchased two of these units and found that the volume function on the remote does not work on either unit.I contacted XACT (which was a huge hassle) and talked to supervisor after supervisor and the only explanation they could give me to why the volume could not be adjusted from the remote was that " it was manufactured that way"... are you kidding, i had stereo's 20 years ago that had a remote that could control volume.Other than that the unit is fine, but I just feel a state of the art "deluxe" boom box should be able to adjust the voulume via the remote.Why else would you waste 2 buttons on the tiny remote. It is just a pain to have to physically increase or decrease the volume manually.

The unit, which works with eight D-size batteries (not included), measures 20.8 by 10.2 by 5.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
