 Decent, not great August 13, 2008
The sound is good. A few cons: The volume button is really annoying. My previous stereo was a Philips which I had for about 15 years. I got so used to the volume dial, which was very easy to change (like turning the volume down when the phone rang, etc). This new system has a +/- button, and you have to sit there and push it a bunch to turn it up/down. Out of 8 plastic docking fittings, there was not one that fit the new generation Nano. There is no way to directly select the source you want on the stereo, you have to push the "Source" button to scroll through the options. You can select source on the remote, but I like to have the option without having to search for the remote.
Misleading alarm function July 24, 2008

I bought this expecting it to act as a clock radio/ipod dock - mistake. The LCD display automatically turns off after 15 minutes of non use. I've checked Philips website and it states this is an intended feature: "this is not a failure" is in their FAQ list. Obviously an oversight if it's a frequently asked question. Just a dumb engineering choice. It's intended to be a green device I suppose, it consumes less than 1 watt of power when not in use, so I guess they want to market to people obsessed with the "green" movement. But, I just don't understand the alarm feature on this device if you can't even see the time.
For the few seconds I actually listened to the sound, I really liked it, compared to my Bose Wave Radio. I would love to use this as a clock radio, but it's useless to me without the time display.

I bought this for my samsung p2 for the bluetooth but this little bad boy sounds sweet i was surprised i just wanted something for when i was working around outside and the likes but at same volume's it sounds as good at my home system. The only neg. is with the usb it wont connect to p2 as in it just say's reading onscreen so i cant "At the moment" rip straight from cd to p2 but i hope a firmware update will take care of that and yes it does look like a high priced clock radio but i can crank it up and hear it throught the house, well worth the money and if you were silly enough to buy an ipod it's still worth the money !!!! JK LOL

great radio!
not too loud tho, thats its only flaw. everything else is great. easy to use everything. good for a lil reunion of about 5 but not good enough for a party.
the bluetooth feature is awesome!
