General Comments
Watch out - If you read reviews on the Internet by reviewers in Australia, NZ, US, Europe; Philips India has a way of sticking it to you - the model that is sold in India will have at least one flaw - this has happened to me before too. I assume they find a model that cannot be sold elsewhere in the world and buy it by its weight and sell them here at high prices. This is especially annoying as Philips (not India) drafted the Red / Blue Book or whatever on CD formats. Thus the poor review by Dipankar and good reviews by others. The Players are not the same.
Remember - all reviews on Review Centre express the reviewer's opinion, not necessarily ours.
