Amazon.com Product Description

Finally, a compact stereo that looks as cool as your music sounds. The limited-edition MZ1200 offers a double-layer construction of sand-blasted aluminum alloy for a rugged finish. Diamond-cut details lend precision to its lightweight, corrosion-resistant shell. Crank up the radio with any of your 40 favorite preset stations, or slide a homemade MP3 CD into the vertical disc bay and rock out to your tried-and-true favorites--10 hours at a stretch. The system is powered by a relatively hefty 25 watts per channel, and the speakers are ported for reinforced bass response. A pocket-size remote control extends your system authority to your listening position.

What's in the Box
Main unit, two speakers, speaker cables, remote control, remote battery, FM and AM antennas, and user's manual.

This review is from: Philips MZ1200 Gloss Emotive CD/MP3 Shelf System (Silver) (Electronics)

Having read the reviews below, I feel compelled to set the record straight.

First, the speakers DO produce bass. It's not the overwhelming blowout hip hop concert kind, but it's bass nonetheless. If you want spine-tingling lows, get a more expensive system -- or one with a subwoofer. Or, better yet, adjust the bass on this system up a step or two. I'm pretty picky when it comes to audio (I also own a pair of B&Ws) and I'm pleased with the overall sound from these speakers.

Second, the system really does look great. One reviewer said it's impossible to turn off the display light. That's not true. Hold down the power button, and the display light turns off completely. Five stars for looks.

The features are great too. I wont go into too much detail here; you can read about that stuff online. I personally like the gradually increasing volume on the alarm (which will wake you up to your favorite CD).

Finally, my complaint: the remote control, which you WILL use, just sucks. It is not backlit, and its shape is such that you have no way of telling which buttons you're hitting in the dark (the buttons are indistinguishable from one another by feel). Result: it's really hard to use the remote at night in bed. This is an example of design run amok.

Otherwise I'm happy with the thing.
