(A small point: It's a good idea to change the subject line, as I did above, when the topic starts to wander away from its starting point.)

On top of that, Rex has some of the most rude and immature salesmen I've talked to. When I bought my CD player, I didn't get the remote. When I asked, I was given the remote for another model (*almost* the right buttons) and told that the correct one would be ordered. When I went back later, the guy I talked to criticized the first salesman and could not figure out how to order the correct unit. So I still don't have it.

Not that a remote control is really necessary on a CD player, but it's the principle of the thing!
