5.0 out of 5 stars Great System . . . So Far . . ., October 9, 2007
This review is from: Philips MCD908 DivX DVD Micro Theatre System (Electronics)
Just bought this and set it up with my Sharp 32 LCD Screen. So far, none of the issues described by the other reviewer. I have found the sound to be outstanding and yeah, it looks terrific too. If any problems arise, I will come back here and edit this. But for now, I am VERY pleased with this system.

One Month Later . . . Some clarifications . . . I just bought my second one, for another TV in the house. The quality of the components still seems a great value for the price. Less than a Bose Lifestyle system, but I believe a better sound. Some key aspects:

1) Tube Amps take a short time to heat up . . . It takes me back to the old days of "warming up the radio" To young users, this may seem annoying. To people my age (49) this is actually charming.

2) HDMI upconversion to 1080i. This system is both HiTech and Nostalgic at the same time . . . very cool.

3) The system will shut off 15 minutes after a CD is played . . . This is explained in the manual. It saves on tube wear. I like this feature!

4) Outstanding outputs and flexability . .. they should show the back of this unit on amazon . . . it would sell better. Sub Out, Optical Out, etc. Really good stuff.

5) Packaging & Finish is truely first rate.

Wish List: Remote Backlighting - Zoom Display Setting Fade - Extra Speaker Output.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Specified, August 18, 2008
This review is from: Philips MCD908 DivX DVD Micro Theatre System (Electronics)
I have owned this system for 3 months. The specifications cited in a negative review below are what are listed in the owner's manual. But I can confirm that it CAN supply clean bass below 100Hz. I can hear it. I added a powered subwoofer to the included subwoofer output and now the sound is completely full-range from the DVD player and any other source. The flat design of the remote makes it hard to use but I got used to it. The DVD player does an excellent job of upscaling when you use the HDMI output - nearly as good as an Oppo 981 I use.

The speakers employ ribbon tweeters that have a wide dispersion pattern. They sound good even when listening off-angle. They are rated at 4 ohms which would make them a good choice to use with a T-amp. The construction is noticeably substantial and the finish makes for a system that is a pleasure to look at. But the real selling point is the warm sound provided by the vacuum tubes used in the preamplifier. They make for a fatigue-free listening experience. I deduct 1 star for the design of the remote control and it having just one AUX input.

I would buy this system again.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT EVEN ONKYO COMES CLOSE, November 24, 2008
This review is from: Philips MCD908 DivX DVD Micro Theatre System (Electronics)
I got this for myself and use it in my bedroom. Its sound is OUTSTANDING. The is nothing like 50Watts per channel into a 5 1/4" speaker with a RIBBON tweeter.

The HDMI jack on the back, with the wake on CD is a great convenience.

I love the Rosewood, and the unit looks really sharp in the office or anywhere.

The price is awsome for what you are getting!

Pure junk. Remote is wonky and not everything works. I'm talking about forward reverse and such. We've had to use our old 642 remote to navigate menus. Read more

First the specification of this item is worst than many or most of the same price. Visit the official philips site for the owner manual for details. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Philips Tube DVD Stereo
A little disappointed with the tube quality sound. Also after a CD is played the unit powers off. There is some unatural sounds when the CD is loaded. Read more
