It functions ok for that. I mainly use it now as a radio/receiver for another Phillips multi region dvd player connected to my hdtv. Now in the market for a decent reciever with out the extra dvd/cd included. I bought this unit about a year ago using it as a home theater system. The sound is ok, but after a few month's use the dvd cd door jammed rendering play back inoperable. Another case of form over substance- it looks nice but was a waste of money.
I also have decent surround sound and a pair of old Bose 901s, so the other stuff in the house is not junk (there's also my car). As I've used mine for the past 18 months, it has become the go-to system in the house, because (compression or not) it just sounds great and really kicks with that sub-woofer. On discs burned in the computer, the hangs can be a bit worse, also. I was happy to finally find somewhere that I could purchase a second one. And, it takes care of two functions (CD and DVD) to top it all off. Plus, there are so many adjustments available to make the music sound its best.
But overall, I've never seen anything that can compare with the looks and sound, especially for the price. I see so many negatives in these reviews that I am stunned. This unit is different in being European, so the standard setup/operations we're accustomed to from all our Japanese equipment don't apply, so it takes some time to get everything working to it's maximum potential. I must admit that the brief stops in DVDs are a bit of a nuisance (and the reason I only gave it 4 stars), but mine are so brief that I'd need to be even more of a perfectionist to be truly bothered.
Had a problem with the cd/dvd (center guide was broke ) right out of the box, but, Sam (samsexpo) went out of his way to satisfy us as customers. micro system with superb sound qualities. would buy again
Buy another product if you have the money. After having the unit for a few months, the Video Output stopped working, limiting the DVD player to only playing CDs. This unit has amazing quality sound. Out of all the units I have purchased, it has probably the clearest sound; helped in a large part by the Ribbon Tweeters. Not worth shipping to manufacturer for replacement, but I will keep it for playing CDs.
The sub-woofer is useless. After less than a year, must open and close the disc player several times to get it to recognize a dvd, if it will at all. Just keep looking. Great. again. The always-on blue light is so bright that we drape fabric or paper over it to be able to sleep.
We are. Pretty and compact. We have a very pretty and compact paperweight in the bedroom, now. Hook your iPod up and you can listen to your (muffled) music library, but you would be served better by a much smaller iPod dock for that.
