Feature List

Play DVD, (S)VCD, MP3-CD, WMA-CD, CD(RW) and Picture CD
Micro system's integrated DVD player provide an attractive combination with its classic design. Video fans and music lovers can benefit from the widely accepted DVD and CD formats, and the increasing popularity of MP3 and WMA digital music. It plays all CD-formats; DVD-Video discs, Video CDs, Super Video CDs, Audio CDs, CD(RW) MP3 CDs, WMA-CD and Picture CD.
12-bit/108MHz video processing for sharp, natural images
12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.
Progressive Scan component video for optimized image quality
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.
Dolby Digital for ultimate movie experience
Because Dolby Digital, the world's leading digital multi-channel audio standards, make use of the way the human ear naturally processes sound, you experience superb quality surround sound audio with realistic spatial cues.
Digital Sound Control for optimized music style settings
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 delivers deep and dramatic bass
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.
Loudness for bass and treble enhancement
In the sound spectrum, high and low frequencies are relatively less audible to human ears - especially at low volumes. By activating the Loudness feature, the bass and treble will be amplified so you can savor a more balanced sound perception overall.
Total 100W RMS
High-end component design with stand
The component-designed DVD micro system comes with a stand that features four triangular feet. It can prevent any audio frequency distortion due to vibration, overheating and electromagnetic interference generated from the amplifier and DVD loader. The result is smooth and excellent and sound reproduction.
Elegant wood-finished speakers
High quality remote control for comfortable use

Customer Reviews

Stupid DVD Player!: This unit has amazing quality sound. Out of all the units I have purchased, it has probably the clearest sound; helped in a large part by the Ribbon Tweeters. After having the unit for a few months, the Video Output stopped working, limiting the DVD player to only playing CDs. Not worth shipping to manufacturer for replacement, but I will… More reviews

Keep Looking: Pretty and compact. Great. We have a very pretty and compact paperweight in the bedroom, now. After less than a year, must open and close the disc player several times to get it to recognize a dvd, if it will at all. The always-on blue light is so bright that we drape fabric or paper over it to be able to sleep. The sub-woofer is useless. Hook your iPod up and… More reviews

Brand Philips is Great, but this model is more entry level or budget conscience buyer: Almost all my electronics are Philips but I didn't buy this model MCD703/37. I went for the MCD908/37. Of course, it 3X more expensive. Nonetheless, if this is your first shelf system or money is an issue, this is a great system for the price ($130 or less-tax, s&h included). More reviews

Overall it's reasonable for the price, but WATCH OUT for the DVD player...: I brough this MCD703 11 months ago from Philips Employee Store since I work for the company. Price is really good for what the system offers. Defintely the system has a very attractive look (slim and compact with wood-finished speakers). I also agree the sound quality is pretty good for my case. It has many preset sound modes which… More reviews

OK at the right price: The main reason to buy this is to get all the features in a small package. The DVD player/amp really is compact. Although the top loading tray increases the space it needs in a bookshelf (vs. on top a table or dresser).
The speakers sound pretty good for their size, and I've heard (and own) a lot of speakers. Luckily they seem fairly… More reviews
