Highlights
Micro Hi-Fi System
MP3/WMA-CD playback USB Direct
Rip your favorite CDs to MP3

the USB port on Philips audio system and start

your USB device or MP3 player - with one

digital recording.
USB Direct for MP3/WMA music
Simply plug in your device to the USB port on
your Philips Hi-Fi system. Your digital music
will be played directly from the device. Now
you can share your favorite moments with
family and friends.
Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of
pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classic controls
you can use to optimise the frequency ranges
for different musical styles. Each mode uses
graphic equalizing technology to automatically
adjust the sound balance and enhance the most
important sound frequencies in your chosen
music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control
makes it easy for you get the most out of your
music by precisely adjusting the sound balance
to match the type of music you are playing.
Dynamic Bass Boost
Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes 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.
