(5 out of 5)Best stereo i have ever purchased
this is by far, the best stereo i have ever bought. with it's 330 Watts of power, and it's 5-disc CD changer, it's an awesome buy. with the wOOx subwoofers, you get exelent bass sound, and with high volumes, and high ammounts of bass, the subwoofer bounces around, it's cool. I use the gameport to plug in my Xbox to it, so i get great surround sound, with two 6.5 inch woofers, two 6.5 inch wOOx subwoofers, and two 2 inch ferro-liquid cooled tweeters, instead of the small, 2 inch TV speakers. there is only three problems i have encountered in my several weeks of ownership of this stereo, all of which are easily solved; it's a big stereo, and it's hard to find a place to put it, the gigantic speakers make my TV look a little dinky, and it doesn't play cassettes, which is no big deal, seeing it has an auxilary input on the back, which allows me to plug any old cassette player into it, so i can play my Led Zeppelin cassettes ;) if you can afford it, and you want a top-end stereo, i strongly suggest you buy this stereo. 330 watts is more than enough power to fill almost any room. and with it's "Incredible Surround" setting, you can create surround sound for almost any room. unless the room you are planning on filling is the size of a movie theatre, you should be good with this stereo. before i bought this stereo, i looked at the Philips FW-C577, which is much like this stereo, but without the wOOx subwoofers, and a slightly smaller prise tag. it costs about $50 less. but, if you like great bass, i suggest you bite the bullet, grab an extra fifty bucks, and buy this stereo. much better sound. i checked it out the other one at Wal-mart, and this one is better.

The five cd changer is so cool. the woox level buttons glow. it has 3 gameing modes. THIS IS THE BEST SHElf system ever made it is the bomb buy this system BOTTOM LINE...
(5 out of 5)Bass Monster!
Ok, I have owned this stereo for a while now and i have 1 10" Sony Xplod hooked to it if you get it just right it will push the 10" Pretty nice but the only problem i have with it is the fake speaker thing(Yes it's fake it is just for looks)And at high volumes it tends to hurt the bass sound with a nasty rattle.
But other than that it's a kick ass stereo
(1 out of 5)Do not buy
Try as I might this hifi system will not play any CD's that I burn myself. So if you have created custom CDs this player will not work.

I've owned this Philips mini stereo system for about a year, and I'm generally happy with the purchase. The 5-CD system has good sound and many nice features, such as a remote control, sleep function, and Gameport connections. I also like the way it looks, especially the large knobs; however, it does take up a fair amount of room for this type of stereo system.
The only real complaint I have is that the CD changer is slow and clunky. When I try to switch from one CD to another in the 5-CD shuffler, the system is very slow. Push the button and you hear shuffling noises for quite a long time before the CD actually switches. The display is also sometimes confusing - I often cannot tell whether the next CD is going to play, or whether I need to push another button. Because the changer is slow, I sometimes wait awhile realizing that the next CD is not set to play. However, this inconvenience is relatively minor. Overall, I'm pleased that I purchased this stereo; the CD changer is less than ideal but not really problematic.
I should note that I have not used any of the Gameport connection capabilities - I bought this system mostly to play CDs. So check out the other reviews for those aspects.
