Easy to assemble with plenty of cable for satellite speakers, easy to use, beware of rear speaker setup being accessed through the channels sub menu. Picture does distort after x1.5.
Looks fantastic and sounds superb.

Easy to assemble, plenty of cable, Easy menu, but beware, to get the back set of speakers working, you have to set the delay in the channels menu. Looks Fantastic and sounds superb. When zooming in the picture quality gets a little worse after x1.5.
Sounds superb
I was really knocked out by how good this little lot sounds. The satellite speakers were worryingly small but they can really chuck out some hefty noise. I've got the DVD player hooked up to a 28" wide screen Philips TV and its visual quality is superb.
This combination is well worth the money, and finally Philips have started making hardware that actually looks good too. Just be aware that the DVD player isn't multi-region, so you'll only be able to use DVDs from European stockists.

This system truly is a great piece of kit.
The player can stand horizontally or vertically for anyone who finds space at a premium, and being 12v DC operated (as well as mains powered), means I can watch DVD movies in my car !
Excellent flexible DVD cinema system
Bought this on impulse to keep the kids quiet in their TV room - frankly it has transformed the small room into a vibrant home cinema which my wife and I use when the kids have gone to bed. Can only re-iterate the comments about setting the central & rear speakers up others have mentioned - goes against the macho grain guys, but you must read the instruction manual to get them going!
