Description:

Enjoy powerful sound, flexibility, and convenience in a small package with the Philips FWC380 mini hi-fi system with 3-CD changer and dual cassette deck. This mini system contains 120 watts total power (60 watts per channel RMS stereo), with virtual environment control (cinema, hall, concert modes) and four digital sound control modes (optimal, jazz, rock, techno). Or press the Optimal Sound Mix (OSM) button for one-touch optimal sound settings that enhance your listening pleasure.

The three-way bass reflex speaker system is equipped with one 5.5-inch woofer, one 2.5-inch tweeter, and one 1-inch piezzo, all housed in a three-way enclosure for a wider range of frequency response and deeper bass sound. Boosting bass response as much as 8 dB (nearly three times more than normal), the three-step dynamic bass boost--via the jog control--yields full, rich tonal quality at all volume levels. If you want to add even more low end to your system, the FWC380 comes with output signals for connection to a subwoofer.

The three-CD changer with motorized drawer has multidisc play capability, providing three hours of continuous music. The CD player plays CD-R and CD-RW discs, so you can enjoy home-recorded discs over the entire lifetime of the player. The direct play button lets you select and play any CD in the carousel at the touch of a button, or change out the other two discs while the third one continues playing without interruption. One-touch CD synchro recording allows the cassette deck and CD player to communicate with one another to synchronize the start of a cassette recording with the start of a CD or a CD program. Repeat, random, shuffle one/all, and CD programming are standard playback features on this mini system.

Other great features are a video/auxiliary input for connection of an accessory piece such as a DVD player, TV, or external cassette deck, and a digital AM/FM tuner with 40 station-preset memory. A clock, alarm, and sleep timer are included, so you can wake up to music from your favorite CD or radio station. And the three display modes show different amounts of display on the LCD, including a night mode display that turns off most of the system's lights.

Completing the FWC380 is the design itself. Rich metallic finishings, dramatic surfacing, a large, multicolor FTD display, and an ergonomic control layout optimize this system for comfort and convenience.

The Philips FWC380 hi-fi mini system comes with a push-button remote control and a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
