worst AV system I owned
|
By far, the worst AV system (in fact, equipment) I ever owned. I have 2 home theaters, but I bought this for my bedroom so I can listen to songs as I go to sleep, and wake up. The real selling point was the ability to play MP3 songs from DVD. I figured I could write on DVD and be done with it. I thought the DVD-Video was a bonus when I get a TV later for my bedroom. Well, it is about 6 months, and all I have is the "bonus".
I initially was using it only for about 15-20 minutes with a sleep timer. This was working ok (contrary to what some other reviewers said, this system does NOT sound amazing; it is far from it, but it does sound OK for a $100 system - take it from someone who owns 2 other home theater systems and high-end headphones). I first noticed a problem when I played a DVD audio one day for an hour. It started making a "noise" after about 45 min. This is like the noise you hear when the radio reception is poor. The noise level went from inaudible to noticeable to insane in about 15 minutes. From then on it was down-hill. It starts with that noise in about 10 minutes and drives anyone crazy in about 15.
The craziest is the design of the system. You would think the speakers and subwoofer has standard connections so you could use it somewhere else - WRONG. It has a proprietary connection going into one of the speakers (the connection powers the main unit and sends audio to the speaker!!!). The other speaker and subwoofer look normal - not sure if they work that way.
I had lost the proof of purchase - so I am stuck with it. I use it as a DVD player sending the audio to the TV's speakers.
Made up my mind that I will not buy a philips product again.
