PHILIPS MCD700

The first thing that comes to mind when you see the Philips MCD700 is ‘Nice… really, really nice!’ The complete unit has a clean mirror finish – with very few controls on its face to mar its understated class. The speakers with their Rosewood finish only add to the overall package. To complete the aesthetics, Philips has also thrown in a nice glass-finish stand. The 2x25W RMS/50W system is capable of playing DVD, VCD, MP3 and WMA CDs, CD (RW) and picture CDs.The system also has an AM/FM digital tuner. The device has the ability to play hours of MP3s without skipping or getting stuck – something that older players from Philips suffered from tremendously. Overall, this Dolby Digital, DTS system, at Rs 11,999, is not a bad buy. Its good looks, decent output and convenient size make it an ideal device for any bachelor or spinster pad.
