Class 'D' digital amplifier for quality sound performance

Class '˜D' Digital Amplifier takes an analogue signal, converts it into a digital signal and then amplifies the signal digitally. The signal then enters a demodulation filter to give the final output. The amplified digital output delivers all the advantages of digital audio, including improved sound quality. In addition, Class '˜D' Digital Amplifier has greater than 90% efficiency compared to traditional AB amplifiers. This high efficiency translates into a powerful amplifier with a small footprint.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good and easy to use, 7 Mar 2008
    By K. Morris "PC MAD" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I received the Wireless Music Center as a Xmas Present and I am very impressed with it. Setup is easy, wireless does require you to know a few details of your router but as I work in IT it was a breeze, for those that do not you need to make sure you have no firewall blocking connection, check ports and allow details in manual, no mac filtering, wpa code required. But to be honest you should know about these things if you run a router anyway as how do you know how secure your network is without checking settings anyway?? My media PC found the device automatically and I was able to stream music from my PC upstairs to the music center which was cool, I have yet to experience any dropped connections. What is good about this wireless center is being able to store mp3's to the hard drive, for example I can copy my music from my PC straight to the hard drive. Also being able to convert CD's to MP3 format and store on the hard drive is excellent. No more trying to hunt the CD before able to play!! USB port is good as well as you can then plug in a USB pen drive and play or copy to the hard drive. If you have a IPOD you will be in heaven as you get a docking station. There are a couple of downsides though, or features I think should of been included or could be better:-
    The display on the unit is quite small and unless you are up close you cannot read what the title is playing, or how long to go. Only 1 CD tray is disappointing 2 or 3 would really be cool as you could rip more into MP3's as well at the same time. Digial Radio would of been nice, and the ability to have internet streaming radio stations even better. Plus the software you install on your PC to drop and drag onto the Hi-fi will only allow you to do so if you have a wired connection, which means in my case dragging a network cable from upstairs to downstairs or moving the router. I cannot see a way where you can save streamed music from the PC over wireless to the unit. I would still recommend that you buy it though !!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea, but I may take an axe to it!, 20 Oct 2007
    To start, I really got ripped off by Currys, who were (I found out later) £100 more than Amazon. Why didn't I look first!?
    The Music centre is a great concept, and sounds quite good, with a nice range of features, but using it is a NIGHTMARE. Setting up the wireless network properly means diving into advanced network settings and even then, it will work one minute, and not the next. The support from Philips is woeful with useless advice from Indian call-centres that do nothing to even approach the real problems. My unit then starts to spontaneously re-boot, and has random interference. They suggest changing the wireless channel, but the recommended settings don't allow this, so where do you go from there? I'm not a network consultant, for goodness sake! Contacting Phillips again just left me with "Oh, it must be faulty, then, send it back and we'll repair it" I said, no, it's a brand new unit, but their advice was just to contact the retailer, who, after literally about 20 menu options at their call-centre left me with the message "Due to reasons beyond our control, we can't connect you, goodbye" Why on earth do consumers have to put up with garbage like this? I feel like throwing the thing through Currys window then dumping the pieces on Phillps' doorstep. Be warned BUY ANOTHER MODEL!!!
    If anyone from Philips or Currys read this, I'd like to say how dare you treat your customers like this? You take the money and walk away, it's disgraceful. I am seriously considering legal action. I'm a minnow in the world of big corporations but sometimes minnows have to bite back. This is typical of so many aspects of modern life. You hand over your money, and are then left to rot. Sadly, it can only get worse.

    5.0 out of 5 stars its brill, 27 Nov 2007
    i read about it before purchase and decided to go for it. i bought a station also it is fine no problems with sound or set up. the only issue i have is with gracenote, which cant identify REM which is strange. the only change i would recommend to philips is to give it a dab radio
