AWESOME SOUND AND VERY POWERFUL

(5 out of 5) by cengiz mutluol on Mar 31, 2002 (Australia, NSW)
Are you looking for a stylish and POWERFUL stereo system with extrodinary BASS? Look no more, this is it, thats right the picture above this review is a great device.

When my old stereo system broke i had to search for a new stereo system as i couldnt handle not listening to any 2pac albums i had to quickly search for a new stereo system.What i was looking for was a powerful stereo system with crystal clear sound no matter how loud the volume is and it needs some heavey bass as i have alot of old school rap albums.

Well when i came across this stereo it was in my price range and i liked the looks of the system, especially the little power meter.Anyway i tried a sample on it and i was heeps surprise with the sound.I played it loud and the sound was still very clear unlike some stereos where the sound breaks up because the speakers cant handle it, well the phillips stereo can.There is two volume knobs, the normal stereo volume control and the WOOX advance technology speakers which packs alot of punch.WOOX speakers are optional, so if you want the BASS pumping just turn them on and change the level.Theres are 3 levels with the 3rd level being the most POWERFUL.

There is a sound navigation-JOG:
Digital Sound Control:
-Digital
-Pop
-Classic
-Pop
-New Age
-Electrical
Virtual Ambience Control
-Hall
-Concert
-Cinema
-Arcade
-Cyber
-Disco
Incredible Sound

It has a 3cd changer, double tape deck, tuner(radio) and Aux(cdr/dvd).It also has ECO POWER, i have never seen this before, it is an option so you dont have to have it on but if you do it saves you energy, it plays and everything but with out the lights and display, yeah pretty AWESOME.

I did end up buying this product and i am EXTREMLY happy with it.Especially when i found out that Phillips and WOOX grouped up to be the best technology of the year(AUSTRALIA).During my search i did come across some nice stereo systems but this one topped the list and as you can see i wasnt dissapointed and i strongly doubt you will be either.

HIGHLY RECOMENDED

Powerful System!

(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Sep 11, 2001
I owned lots of Philips products when I lived in Europe. 5 years ago I couldn't find a Philips audio system in the US. They finally have gotten product to the US market and it is the same good quality I experienced in Europe. This 240 watt system is extremely powerful. The bass is much better than most mini systems that are in this same category. Great Product!!!

Incredible sound!

(5 out of 5) by Srebrenica Forever on Aug 2, 2002 (Sweden)
It goes without saying that this is one of the most powerful compact stereo systems on the market. The sound is extremely powerful and most importantly clear! It has many important features that modify the sound, such as incredible surround, enhanced bass and numerous others! Even when you turn up the volume, the sound remains clear and powerful; this indicates a high quality product. This is without doubt the best buy I have made so far! Ironically, the price is the best part, it cost only [dollar amount]. When compared to other more expensive products, this compact stereo is by far the best, both when it comes to sound and the looks! In short, this is a high quality poduct to a low price that I strongly recommend to prospective customers.

I dont recommend it

(3 out of 5) by EmEx on Aug 26, 2002 (Texas USA)
I bought this Stereo here at Amazon.
Compared to my 5 year old Aiwa with almost same price.
This Stereo has a "background" noise like a computer(but not as loud) so if u listen to music very quietly you hear it.

Sound is Ok.
But Very few functions its ok if you only listen to CD otherwise look somewhere else.

Comparison Philips FWC 780/my old Aiwa

Sound: ***/*****

Functions: **/*****

Controls: **/****

Material Quality: ***/***


one of the best systems ever
