If they're really that bad these days, maybe I'd better stick with my 10 
year old Sony. Presets are a pain, but I don't use the radio anyway so I 
don't care, and I actually could set them, it just took a little effort at 
first. I don't know all the buttons but I never change any settings anyway 
but it's been turning itself off and on the last couple days which concerns 
me.
