Stylish and Quite Effective.

"This is nice compact system that is easy to set up. It gives off a full sound and is quite effective in not-so-large living rooms or bedrooms. It does have its limits when seperating the different channels of sound. But remember this is a 2.1 system and I researched all out there and found this one to be the best for the price. The Bose Cinemate was just as good at twice the price. Two drawbacks though: 1) ..." Read Full Review »

Buyer Beware!

"I have been dealing with Philips since purchase of this device in '07. From it's arrival it would not play ANY DVDs.

"This is a great product for the money. I have used everything on this system in the first 2 days I had it. The setup and usage of this system is easy. ONe thing I didn't like was not having the choice to change the bass, treble, mids and so on. You only have the choice of pre selected sound options. …"  Read Full Review »

"I rated this '4 star' instead of 5 for a few reasons - there were a few minor scuffs, and one pronounced scratch on the main unit. It does have a great spatial sound pattern and is a good value at the refurb price - but I'd be less than thrilled at 'retail'. The specs state this will play MPEG-4 vid …"  Read Full Review »
