Reviewer: David Myers, Portland, OR USA
I bought this "micro home theater system" off the J&R Music and Computer World website last week. UPS delivered it earlier today and I just set it up a couple of hours ago. The sound is much more impressive than the JVC "DVD digital theater system" (TH-S11B) that I bought from Fry's last year, paying probably $50 more than what this Philips system cost, and regretting it ever since. As soon as I received my MCD 708 I moved the JVC into my teenage daughter's room (poor kid; I hope she doesn't complain to the child welfare department). She listens to most of her music on her iPod anyway, and at least the JVC transforms her small TV into a "home theater system." The excellent "Quick Start Guide" that came bundled with the Philips MCD 708 provided clear and concise instructions to make set-up a breeze. I do wish the speaker cables were a bit longer, but that's a minor quibble considering all you get for just under a hundred bucks. I've got to agree with Eduardo's assessment: the Philips MCD708 is totally superior to that Bose Wave glorified clock radio. My dad has one of those, but I'm going to urge him to replace it with this.
Very Classy Looking Little System With A BIG Sound

On a whim, I paid $189.00 for this system at costo and thought I got a steal after setting it up and hearing it. For $99 (the current price at Amazon) you simply cannot go wrong. The whole system has a really nice fit and finish, and the speakers look like something that should be part of a much more expensive stereo. If you have a small house or apartment and want a good looking, great sounding system for next to nothing...I would absolutely reccommend the Philips Mcd 708. This stereo would look good in a traditional decor or something more progressive as well. I love mine. Don't let the price fool you. It has the look and sound of quality.
Amazing Little Box That Could
 
Review Date: April 25, 2008
Reviewer: Eric Hester, Flintstone, GA United States
Amazing Power! I did a lot of research before buying this and finally
got it in and set it up. The power this little box makes is very surprising! The rear aux ports are very hard to find on small stereo units and this one had them (no front aux which is good!) The setup was easy and fast. The only slight negative I have about the unit is that the disc tray is some-what flimsy but with care you can bypass any issues there.

Great sound and power ... And for $99 this is a complete STEAL!!! I am considering buying another unit for another room even! I have never owned Phillips brand electronics, as this is my first.. and I am completely stunned at this little unit, right out of the box.

Impressive!
Awesome sound, beautiful design

Deep, rich base, clear highs, small footprints, cool blue lights - all in all, a beautiful little product.

We use it in our bathroom and it sounds swesome.
GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE!

I bought this unit for use as a stereo system for my bookshelf. The system fits perfectly on a shelf with easy setup. The sound is crisp and clear. The rosewood speakers look great on my shelf and the system as a whole gives the room a slight look of class. I have played multiple types of media on it including DVD and CD with multiple types of file formats (WMA, MP3, etc); all have worked superbly. The remote control is comprehensive, but not too complex. Shortcomings include: the LCD screen does not display the song titles when playing a CD, the system does not remember your position on a CD when shut off, and there are no ports for USB or memory cards (it does have 2 RCA aux plug-ins). Although I have not explored the video qaulity of this system is works wonderfully as a bookshelf stereo. For the price, I would recommend this product to anyone.
