RAD.'s Review of Philips DVD-736K
4th Oct 2002
Overall Rating
- Value for money
I bought it out of frustration when I can't afford the Sony Home Theater System. Initially, I only plugged an Altec Lansing Powercube for Downmixed audio. It's great. It even plays my custom VCDs w/c used to be unreadable (no disc) on high end Sony Systems.
I just got an AlLtec Lansing ADA880R Dolby Digital Speaker system, plugged it in Digital Coax Out and its a blast watching Matrix, Star Wars and ID4.
Bad Points
Lousy controls, especially the remote. But once you get used to it, the performance of the system compensates. However, it usually failed to read the first 2 seconds of my custom CDs. Furthermore, there's a 1-2 second gap between tracks when playing DJ Mixes (with individual tracks).
General Comments
The Philips DVD736K is Good but not so Great with CD Audio listening due to 1-2 seconds silence in between tracks. But it's well worth it when it comes to Home Theater usage.
For those drooling for a Home Theater System but who are on a tight budget, get this one then (later) purchase a best buy Multimedia Speaker system (Altec Lansing e5100 or Creative 5300) for an economical Home Theater System.
It's just to bad that I bought it at PHP13500 last June only to found out it now cost only PHP10900.
