I am very happy to recommend the Philips MCD708. It provides an excellent sound, it is very versatile and also very attractive. I will say that the first one I received was defective. The DVD player had a defective lens so after calling Phillips and not getting much help I called J&R Electronics and right away they designed a plan for me that allowed me to keep the player while I waited for a new one to arrive. Once it arrived I placed the defective unit in the box and mailed it back to them. J & R Electronics was great and now I enjoy a fully functioning stereo system for my living room.

I bought this unit for use as a stereo system for my bookshelf. The system fits perfectly on a shelf with easy setup. The sound is crisp and clear. The rosewood speakers look great on my shelf and the system as a whole gives the room a slight look of class. I have played multiple types of media on it including DVD and CD with multiple types of file formats (WMA, MP3, etc); all have worked superbly. The remote control is comprehensive, but not too complex. Shortcomings include: the LCD screen does not display the song titles when playing a CD, the system does not remember your position on a CD when shut off, and there are no ports for USB or memory cards (it does have 2 RCA aux plug-ins). Although I have not explored the video qaulity of this system is works wonderfully as a bookshelf stereo. For the price, I would recommend this product to anyone.
