Wednesday March 4 - Spend €149 and beat the Mini Budget Blues!

Richersounds.ie: John

Ok Boardies,

This is like a mini budget in it’s own right – we are carving everything this week!

3rd day in a row and here is the best deal to date and it is one sexy beast- freshly released from a dark dusty corner in Philips Warehouse by the Richer Sounds Stock Liberation front.

The Philips MCD988 is a really sexy TWIN DVD 2.1 System and it really does have the W O W factor by the bucket load – we have sold it successfully for €599 for the last year.

See here for full details: http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/m/mcd988_98/mcd988_98_pss_aen.pdf

It has a Dual DVD changer so you can watch those box sets without interruption and seriously sexy motorised speakers to enhance the audio experience (never mind impress the neighbours!) here is a brief list of the features:

• Twin DVD Changer – plays DVD / CD/ DivX/ VCD / MP3 CD / WMA CD etc!
• Dolby Digital
• Motorised Tweeters
• Total Power over 400Watts RMS
• Photo viewer
• Remote(of course)
• Wall or stand mountable (both included)
• 1080i Progressive Scan
• 8” Active Subwoofer
• Motorised DVD drawers
• JPEG Playback
• USB input
• Radio – FM RDS 20 Presets
• Aux in / headphone socket / Co-ax audio out/ AV out/ HDMI out/Component out / S Video out
• Alarm clock function
• It does not cost €599 any more!

The cheapest price I can find it new online at is £299.95 / approx €350 – I will do the first 20 Boardies a stupid, crazy, silly deal at just €149.99. Thereafter they go to the still stupid price of €199.99 but 20 boardies will snaffle a crazy price on this product.

This is all A1 – brand new boxed stock direct from Philips! And yes it’s €149.99..

As this is such a crazy deal please in the 1st instance post on this thread to book one and we will contact you via PM for your contact details.
These units are in stock now and ready to go either from our Richer Belfast shop or from our Philips Shop in Dublin – but you must book ‘em here 1st as it really is a Boardies exclusive!

John,

A quick one: what additional cable and/or switch do I need to connect my NTL DVR box to this baby to have a sound coming through the speakers? Philips has only one sound input...

Richersounds.ie: John

Cm,

There is an auxuliary input which you can connect your NTL box into no problem - alternatively you can connect your NTL box to your TV as normal and use the audio output from your TV to route all the audio sources connected to your TV through the MCD988.

Thanks for the query and drop me a line if I can assist in any way,

John Mc

I'll have one of these too for pickup from Dame St if any still available...

Basq

Just heard from Dave in RicherSounds. was offered a 5 year extended warranty for €15.

Normally, I'm not one for these but for extended warranty but €3 a year, peace of mind and the fact the bundle is great value - I went for it!

Oh.. and multi-region hack for it:

1.Press DVD "OPEN/CLOSE" key (RC (remote Control) or main unit) to open the DVD tray (note:if no disc on tray,then you have not to open it);
2.Press RC "SYSTEM" key to enter DVD system setup menu;
3.Press RC "direction "key to hightlight the forth item "PREFERENCE PAGE" (not entering the sub-item );
4.Press RC numeric key sequentially 811502(entery code,no display on TV);
5.Press RC "down direction" or "up direction" key to change REGION CODE,"0" is all code.
6.Press RC "OK" key to confirm.
7.Press RC "SYSTEM" key to exit DVD system setup menu.

Hi, Is the pre amp seperate to the rest of the kit.
ie. can it be used in another system?

pahadia

I'll take on if it is till available.

Also I am going to Order Samsung 40686 and Sony BD350 this weekend. Could you suggest if above system is compatible with Blue-ray ?

Hanman

Hi John

I sent you an email earlier this morning coz I hadn't an account set up on Boards, this is now sorted!

My work colleague Philip Hosford also dropped you an email about this.

I will take one of the Philips MCD988 system at €149 if still available.

I am in Dublin on Sat and can collect or you can stick it with Philip's delivery of Pioneer KRL 37V due on Friday to Cork.

Cheers

pumbah
