Overall a decent "beginner" unit, however don't leave your unit on all the time like I used to. I had to replace one of the fans inside because it started making noise after about a year of "normal" use. I don't like how the volume goes off completely when adjusting it quickly and the remote control button layout is absolutely horrible. It is loud for the size of the components however I have heard way better and louder units that are under 500 watts. Doesn't have 6 speaker stereo without the 5.1 like other similar systems of its time. The system is also really slow to load cds, mp3 cds and dvds and it is also too slow to change between tv/aux/dvd/radio modes. Would I recommend this unit to a friend? NO. Would I ever buy another Philips dvd player or home theater system? Very Doubtful. Would I ever buy another Philips product at all? Only with great hesitation and after researching and testing the product before buying it.

Bought this product 1 yr ago worked alright with some skipping of the video frames then recently started to hiss real bad. Ther custumer service man said that I was S.O.L I have to say that Phillips really has some piss poor people working for them......bad product

First of all, this is the first product review I've ever posted online- but the customer service I've received from Philips is SO bad, they deserve a horrible review. I THOUGHT Philips was a reliable name, but based on the service I have received concerning a mechanical flaw with my unit, I will never buy from them again.
God help you if you have any problems or defects with this product- because Philips certainly won't.
Rather than simply replace it or repair it themselves, they insisted that I send mine to an "authorized service center." To make a long and incredibly frustrating story short, six weeks later I've finally got it back, unrepaired. So now my case is "under review" with Philips- who apparently may now decide I have to send it back to the same service center again?! For all the hassles I've been through already, I can't believe they won't simply replace this unit- or at LEAST repair it THEMSELVES.

I have had this unit for about 2 years. I bought it refurbished direct from Philips online outlet. It has great sound from all the speakers. With the player connected to my tv's component video connectors it is super high quality for an older tube tv (480p). I have to say there is one complaint, and that is it has a hard time reading dvds that are excessively scratched. The sound quality is very nice at 500 watts it is hard to turn it all the way up and not be blown out of the room. If you are looking for a nice system with progressive scan ability and a decent sound in one system, this is the unit to get.

Ive had this product for about 4 years with no problems. Sounds great amazinf loud for the size, also great bass. i would recomend this to anyone, especially for the price. cant be beat

I have had this one for the past two years with no issues. The sound quality is good and can play any disc that looks like a compact disc! I think 500 watt power is good enough for a family room as big as 16 x 18. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking for a start up home theatre.

I have a great time with my new philips, I wanted something to add to my extra room. Easy install and it sound great for the price, I think it's a steal, now we can hang out in the nice room and my side room, of course now I can get 5.1 in all my rooms..........Yah baby!!!
