Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

If trendy, unique innovation and style appeal to you, then so will the vividly chic MC230 with dynamic sound performance, packed in a sleek design that can also be wall mounted.

Start the day your way with the wake up & sleep timer. The digital tuner has 40 presets for extra convenience, and you can watch your disc spin through the front motorised CD door with viewing window. But above all, the Philips MC230 Home audio system sounds amazing.

Enrich your sound experience with Digital Sound Control for optimised music style settings. Digital Sound Control lets you select from pre-set modes that control the frequency bands of sound to help optimise certain musical styles. You can choose between different sounds settings Optimal, Jazz, Rock, Techno, Pop or Classic. Each mode uses graphic equalising technology to automatically adjust the sound balance and enhance the most important sound frequencies in your chosen music style. DSC lets you get the most out of your music by adjusting the sound balance to match the music type you are playing.

Dynamic Bass Boost delivers deeper, more dramatic bass, maximising your music enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings from low to high at the touch of a button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.

Box Contents

  • FM/MW antenna
  • Screws for wall mounting x 2
  • 23-key remote control with battery

    Firstly, this player is a gorgeous looking thing, abit longer than i had expected it, but also very very thin! Although i havent put it on the wall im sure that it would look really great up. The quality of the music is another thing that lives up to the expectations raised by the description, its truely amazing, level with players that cost so much more than this, it really is fantastic value. The different pre-settings for different types of music that the descriptions mention really do work well! I wasnt expecting a great deal from them but they do enhance the type of music that your listening to, and also very easy to switch between.

    The ONE minor problem that ive had with this player is that between tracks it stalls for a second or so before it goes to the next track, this is suprisingly noticable. Especially on something like a live album as the tracks dont flow and is a little annoying. That is the only reason that this hasnt been given 5stars and for all i know its just a glich in my player but really it doesnt bother me! I deffinatly recommend this player, especially at this bargain price!

    Looks great, sounds great, good performance, very trick with sliding front cover. The last sound systems i bought was a huge technics - how things have chaned. I have this surface mounted on a wall with speakers seperate from unit. Very modern. Digital readout gives add'l info on current radio show when on RDS setting. Negatives would be the track skip situation and 'sticky out' plastic bits for speakers to hook on to. When mounted seperate these stick out unit like bad wingnut ears! I may chose to cut them off.

    I have to agree with the review concerning the pause between tracks, it can spoil live albums with lengthy pauses, however apart from that very pleased, good quality sound and easy to set up!
