Manufacturer's Description
Wireless streaming between Music Centre and Station(s)
With wireless streaming, you don't need to download and store large music files on our audio device. Instead, you can listen to favourite songs as they are continuously streamed to all the Music Stations - at the same time. Have your music follow you from room to room with Music Follows Me - no need to restart navigation and playback. Music Broadcast simultaneously broadcasts your desired music from the Centre to all Stations. And with My Room, My Music, any family member can enjoy selected music from the stored collection in any room that is equipped with a Wireless Music Centre or Station.
USB Direct for MP3/WMA music playback
With the USB Direct mode, you can simply select the music on a USB device and playback all your content. All you have to do is plug in your USB device to playback music or export content from the device.
Alarm and timer functionality
Docking cradle for GoGear and iPod (optional)
This 2-in-1 dock lets you connect your Philips GoGear Player or iPOD directly to the Wireless Music System and enjoy it in superb sound. Simply switch the Wireless Music Centre or Station to AUX IN mode before docking your portable player. Use the Centre¦s remote control for music navigation and control on your docked player to enjoy the music collection in your portable devices.
Wireless streaming from PC via UPnP
Universal Plug & Play is an industry standard technology that lets you connect to any Universal Plug & Play enabled device to receive or transmit music. Your Wireless Music Centre utilises Universal Plug & Play to ensure an easy and standard way to connect to other Universal Plug & Play enabled devices. You can easily connect your Wireless Music Centre to other media devices to receive or to transfer content.
Music Follows Me: take your music with you from room to room
Music follows Me feature allows you to bring your favourite music from room to room in your house without having to restart navigation and playback of that particular track. By simply pressing a button, your favourite song will follow you anywhere you go in your house.
Music Broadcast for simultaneous playback to all Stations
Be your own DJ at your home party and simultaneously broadcast your favourite dance music from the Wireless Music Centre to all Wireless Music Stations installed in various parts of your home. Great for parties!
Super Sound Panel for clear and deep bass sound
Super Sound Panel is an innovative, flat speaker panel that uses cutting-edge technology to provide high quality, full-range audio from a flat and compact speaker unit.
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.

Having had modular Hi Fi units before with stand alone speakers, I was somewhat sceptical of Phillips claim regarding this system. How wrong can you be the sound is superb it does everything it says on the box. It plays MP3, Cd's and recordings from it own HDU. The wireless connection is first rate with no interference; transfer from CD to HDU is quick and easy. I would recommend this equipment without hesitation.

Techie bit!:
I bought this as a replacement for the MP101 to connect to my Linksys NSLU2UK Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives running Mediatomb UPnP server. I considered buying the WACS7000 to get the integrated rip functionality but Phillips seem to have a 'no upgrades to the software' policy meaning once you find a glitch you're stuck with it.
Pros:
1) Access to any track in my music collection at a touch of the buttons on the remote control.
2) Random play through my whole music collection.
3) Sound quality is good. Not up to the standards of my Denon micro system but not bad for the size/price.
4) Reasonable wireless connection in most rooms of my house.
Cons:
1) Font on the screen is hard to see from even a metre away so the remote control is slightly redundant except for the volume control.
2) Still slow to get through the menus, not as slow as the MP101 but...
3) Artist and album search is case sensitive so you have to enter The to get to all the artists with The at the start of their name.
4) Music only available in one room at a time, but I could always buy another WAS7000.
I've not investigated playlists to limit the scope of music played at any time. I think this might be highly dependent on which UPnP software you use.
Overall, if you want to access and play your music from any room this set up is pretty good but there are better options for sound quality and screen size but then you have to pay for it.
