Philips is known for making products that are compatible with many discs available on the market. This audio system lets you enjoy music from CD, CD-R and CD-RW. CD-RW (CD-Rewritable Compatible) means that your audio system can play both CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs. CD-R discs are recordable once and can be played on any audio CD player while CD-RW discs can be recorded and rewritten multiple times and can only be played back on compatible audio CD players.

Magic Electronic Skip Protection™ is a convenient feature that ensures skip-free music even when your MP3-CD player is subjected to knocks and jolts while you are jogging or on the move. Devices with Magic Electronic Skip Protection™ have an intelligent electronic buffer that can store different digital music formats such as MP3, WMA. The buffer adjusts both its contents and laser spin speeds automatically to guarantee uninterrupted music listening.
