Highlights
 
Bass Reflex Speakers
Bass Reflex Speakers delivers a deep bass 
experience. Differ from conventional loudspeakers, 
the addition of a bass pipe that is acoustically aligned 
to the woofer optimizes the low frequency roll-off. 
The result is a deep controlled bass and low 
distortion. Combined with the response of the 
woofer, it extends the overall low frequency sounds 
to create a whole new dimension of deep bass.
MAX Sound
MAX Sound technology produces an instant boost in 
bass, maximizing volume performance and instantly 
creating the most impressive listening experience 
with just the touch of a button. Its sophisticated 
electronic circuitry calibrates existing sound and 
volume settings, instantly boosting bass and volume 
to maximum levels without distortion. The end 
result is a noticeable amplifying of both sound 
spectrum and volume and a potent audio boost that 
will add mileage to any music.
Play MP3/WMA-CD, CD and CD-RW
Audio compression technology allows large digital 
music files to be reduced up to 10 times in size 
without radically degrading their audio quality. MP3 
or WMA are two of the compression formats that 
let you enjoy a world of digital music on your Philips 
player. Download MP3 or WMA songs from 
authorized music sites on the Internet or create 
your own MP3 or WMA music files by ripping your 
audio CDs and transferring them onto your player.
MP3 Link
The MP3 link connectivity allows direct playback of 
MP3 content from portable media players. Besides 
the benefit of enjoying your favorite music in the 
superior sound quality delivered by the audio 
system, the MP3 link is also extremely convenient as 
all you have to do is to plug your portable MP3 player 
to the audio system.
USB Direct
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
