Philips MC235 Thin Stereo Microsystem Specifications

There’s no rule that stereo systems have to be big and bulky, as this trendy microsystem from Philips aptly proves. The wall-mountable MC235 is a mere 3.78 inches thick–bigger than a credit card but far smaller than the average CD player and speaker combo. Yet the system still packs dynamic audio performance inside its narrow body, with such features as digital sound control and digital dynamic bass boost (DDBB). The former invites the user to choose between different sound settings, including optimal, jazz, rock, techno, and classic, and then automatically adjusts the sound balance and frequencies to create the most favorable setup for the chosen music style. DDBB, on the other hand, enhances the bass at low, mid, and high volumes to deliver rich, deep sounds, an important consideration for a small system such as this.

A closer look at the microsystem reveals that the CD spins vertically to save space. The thin profile also includes a digital AM/FM tuner and two detachable 5-watt speakers that can mount individually or stay attached to the entire unit. The CD player, which is compatible with CD-RW discs in addition to traditional audio CDs, offers all the normal CD functions, such as search, repeat, shuffle, and programming. Additional features include both sleep and wakeup timers and an Eco mode that conserves power when the unit is in standby.

[if bought one used for very cheap online probably 5 years ago...

maybe i'm just lucky, but i have had absolutely NO PROBLEMS with this unit. i've moved apartments twice. i have it mounted on the wall. it sounds great for what it is. it can get louder than i ever need. strong bass but not too overpowering.

i'm a full-time dj so i'm used to a certain quality of sound. obviously i'm not using this at gigs or as studio speakers, but for listening to music at home for pleasure this definitely does the trick! favorite feature is the minimalist design. can't go wrong for the price!]

4 years later…you get what you pay for. – Valerie Blank-jaquith – crested butte, co
We got this unit 4 years ago. The antenna does not work very well, never did (we like to listen the radio). The cd works but a lot of disks that play fine in the new truck skip on this unit. We don’t use the remote feature. The sound is quit decent and has a couple of preset modes like “jazz” “rock” etc. The mounting hardware was terrible, had to rig it so that could be mounted. Weird. It is not “thin “like they show in the photos, it is about 4″ deep. The speaker wire is very short, so had to splice on longer wire. The speakers do not have a way to hang them, so I rig them by attaching a hook and hung them from the ceiling. But it still works after 4 years so I guess its ok. Shopping now for a new one that has a good antenna.

Throw your money away – T. Black – Phoenix, AZ
I was drawn to the sleek design and thought the price wasn’t bad either. I bought it for my office where it doesn’t get much use (until after business hours). I am constantly fighting with static and station reception and have had to hang the antenna wires all over everything for a clear signal. Now, at about 8 months, the CD player has completely stopped working. This unit no longer reads, recognizes or plays any CD’s not matter what I do. So, now I own a nice looking, static playing radio that if you’re not careful will trip you up in it’s antenna wires.

exactly what I wanted except for volume settings – NK – California
This is a great stereo for a great price- I am very pleased with it and I found that most of the reviews here were very useful and accurate.

One thing that I was not expecting but that you should be aware of before purchasing is that the volume changes in preset intervals and there is a big gap between the lowest audible setting and mute – so that if you enjoy listening to music/radio very softly, such as when you fall asleep, you may wish to consider a different system or set it up in an adjacent room. (I lean books up against the speakers when needed)
