I needed a small music system for my small apartment and the philips mcd708/37 looked to be exactly what I wanted. I purchased the item from costco for about $200. Physically, it is a beautiful product with rosewood colored speakers and mirrored faces on the amplifier and DVD/tuner components. A very nice blue mood light appears around both components when the system is turned on or adjusted. Controls on the front panel are basic and pleasing to the eye. Everything needed to set up the system, even batteries for the remote, is included though the length of the speaker wire could be longer.

I set the system up and instantly noticed one speaker was not working at all. After troubleshooting and deciding it was a faulty speaker, I contacted Philips customer service and was on the phone with a tech in less than 2 minutes. I would have preferred Philips send me out a new speaker but they wanted me to ship them the bad speaker to a service depot. I instead opted to take the entire system back to costco in exchange for a new one. Thank goodness for Costco’s excellent customer service!

I have had the system playing MPS’s now for several days with no trouble. Sound is decent. I was hoping for better but considering what I paid and the amount of style I got, the sound is acceptable. Highs are good but the bass is lacking. I have a small subwoofer I’ll hook up which should even things out without upsetting the neighbors too much.

The DVD player works well. I have a hand me down TV so clarity isn’t a strong point but the system functions as it should. The remote control is basic like the front panel controls but does the job. The only function I miss is shuffle.
