It’s On A See-Media Diet

This thing is an insatiable A/V omnivore, man. Almost any media files that get close enough, it snaps ‘em up and plays the bejeezus out of them. Basically anything on a disc is fair game, including CDs and DVDs with just about any combination of Rs and RWs you can assemble.

(OK, not Laserdiscs or LPs, but come on.)

It also plays digital photos and music from USB drives. It plays audio off your mp3 player when you connect it to the line-in jack. It can dock an iPod. An iPod! It’s DivX “Ultra Certified” for your DivX videos. WMA? You betcha. JPEGs? Better believe it.

We wish our parents had this thing, because when we come home at Thanksgiving with a bunch of vacation photos we want to show them, we’ll all have to crowd around someone’s notebook PC, or wait while someone says “oh, I have a cable that connects the camera to the TV,” and then goes and hunts for it, only to find six mystery cables and try them all before figuring out none of them is the right one, and then it’s back to the notebook.

When it’s time to watch a movie, listen to music, look at pictures or share some sick, horrible thing you found online, you don’t want to have to sit and think about file compatibility. You just want to get on with it. Otherwise the expectations get to be too much, and when you finally get the file playing, everyone’s like: “I don’t know, dude, it’s not that sick and horrible. I was expecting worse from the way you built it up for ten minutes while we were trying to figure out how to play it.”

With 1080i HDMI, 12-bit video DAC and high-definition video upconversion, your media will look great. With digital multichannel audio, Dolby Digital and Pro Logic II surround sound, your movies and music will sound great, too.

And since the Philips thousand-watt system is (to paraphrase a certain grey wizard) the One Thing To Play Them All, you can get down to the business of enjoying the contents of your media library with a whole lot less scratching of heads and rummaging through the drawer where you keep all those cables.

But no, you can’t throw out your record player just yet, sorry.
