The sound unit really exceeded my expectations. The sound clarity was amazing, though my room is not big enough to assess the 5.1 surround sound - so really cannot comment on that aspect.

It detects the USB drives and external hard disks. The picture clarity of playback is not that great, the same file played by my Samsung TV offers much better quality output.

But my USB 3.0 - 3TB hard disk (which is 2.0 compatible) is not getting recognized, which is a down-side.

One more thing I did not...

Firstly, Flipkart's delivery is unmatched so keep up the good work.

Now About the system..The packaging is from Philips itself and its top notch. The Sound Bar is sleek yet a bit on the heavier side(considering 4 woofers and 2 tweeter).

Things to remember:
1) Good room filling sound(12*15 ft)
2) Bass & Treble Control with Surround Sound(This model does not come with AmbiSound)
3) The interface and remote is simple to use.

3. Easy to install
4. Feature rich - can play all sort of discs (except 3d blu rays which I don't care about), youtube and p...

I had purchased this product sometime in December/2012. Initially, I was happy with it's performance and it was working just fine.
Recently (Apr/2013) the soundbar stopped producing any sound at all! So, now I had a soundbar that did not produce any sound!
Anyway, I have given it to the Philips Service center and they are trying to figure out the problem with it - they have also had it for over 10 days and are still trying to see what the problem is...

if it is available in Chennai I will buy immediately . I will wait and buy the product from flipcart only . they delivering the product in time and product tracking facility also .
