My husband and I bought this for our living room and it was a complete disaster. First, we couldn’t get it to work with our Tivo and cable system- the sound was distorted. We called the customer help line and after 3 hours- it finally worked… For about a month. Then, the dvd player began to play in black in white- in flashes- then go back to color. This was really frusterating-so we tried to get Philips to fix it, but they won’t honor online reciepts for warranty issues. So, we took it to the local authorized repair service who charged us $50.00 to look at it- they determined it would cost $393.00 to fix the dvd player. This has been the worst electronics purchase we have ever made- stay clear of this product. We’re going to toss it out and buy something else!

Simple to set up, and the semi-wireless rear speakers are a great idea. There are a LOT of features packed into this set, which are added value. It sounds just as good playing CDs as DVDs (and even MP3s!). And we don’t have wires straggling across the living room.
I do think that treble/bass controls would be really nice to have, and the slick design of the player puts some controls on TOP of the player, which means they are hard to use if this is placed above eye level. You also will NOT want to put anything on top of this (due to the controls, and the heat generated by the player, which has vents on the top).

The beautyfull look of this system is the base for a good and relaxed video night.
The DVD suround system holds a couple of advatages, TV/Dig in, AUX in, Aux out, RDS tuner and DVD. Here we are using the most important formates, DVD, CD-R/RW, (S)VCD, JPEG, MP3. The use of this system is very easy and quick.
Cable free installation for the rear speakers is easy to instsall and no thinking about positioning.

This system is so easy to use with so less connections and easy installation. The sound is really good for a living room for an apartment though can be less for a big room in a big house. The wireless speaker system is amazing. I never felt any difficulty with the rear speakers with wireless connection, it never interfered with my 900MHz cordless phone or any other cordless/wireless device in my apartment. Overall, a product worth buying for your apartment.
