How do you claim it for $49? I tried it and it shows $149 in my Cart.
homersyd on 17/07/2012 - 12:15 ¶

it says $149…is this suppose to start later or something?
superforever on 17/07/2012 - 12:17 ¶

It said on the main page 1/2 price and shop online, so expect available now.

May be try call their online support line, you can order it over the phone.

  half price $149 is not $49 however
  - superforever on 17/07/2012 - 12:28 ¶
    
    Did you scroll down the description page and read? Or the main DSE page?
    
    Don't neg me if you don't know how to read.
    - scottr on 17/07/2012 - 17:00 ¶
      
      firstly I never negged anything, I think its a good deal
      secondly it was showing at $149 on the product page, but the deal said save $50 now $49
      No need to get your knickers in a twist, obviously a problem on DSE end, just commenting on their apparent lack of maths ability

    did you get the same useless "please contact on blah blah blah" note on the order, with no actual notification other than that that the order wasn't going through?
    
    if they're going to cancel or delay orders, some actual communication from them would be nice, like an email, shouldn't have to constantly check the orders page to see whether they've deigned to send it - especially after taking the money >.>

    - antman on 17/07/2012 - 16:05 ¶
      
      For it's size the "base" is pretty good, and they do play quite loud without distorting. If you are a bass head you will need something bigger and dearer. However under $200 there is not much choice these days as everything is a tiny Ipod dock - this is miles better than any of those!

    They've fat-fingered the online special price.
    
    The $149 price is on the catalogue number "AE2841WEB" - ones ending in WEB indicate online-only specials or bundles.
    
    The $99 price is the normal special on the regular item "AE2841".
    
    Logically, the web-only special should be cheaper than the regular item, and the banner on the front page is consistent with that - $49 save $50 matches the normal item being priced at $99.

Might pass that to the kids - http://dicksmith.com.au/product/AE2848/dick-smith-cd-micro-h...

Update: Also ordered over phone. No option for collect so with $9.95 delivery, comes to $58.95.

  Can't see why not, if your LCD tv has audio out, then you should be able to. Even through the headphones port of your TV.

Does anyone know what sort of equalizer has this got….I can't see any mention on philips site.
I'm just after something like this so when I play those very bassy movies, I can turn up the treble/etc & actually hear what's been said. the dvd option is good too.
- fchis on 17/07/2012 - 14:41 ¶
  
  not sure with 40watts rms can be loud enough for any deep bass as I used to own a 200watts unit wihch was quite loud for the whole floor. it's a hard decision.
  - supabrudda on 17/07/2012 - 15:11 ¶
    
    Thanks actually I dont want the bass…I want to lower the bass & boost the rest.
    I had a quick flip through the manual & there's preset Eq & also
    "Automatic loudness control increases the treble and bass effect at low volume levels"
    which sounds even better….

Looks like a great deal, but still doesn't have a big feature that justifies me purchasing it..

It supports divx/xvid , but not x264 mkv

it supports composite & component , but not HDMI

no AM radio (I listen to AM way more than FM)

its supports MP3 .. but not FLAC

Note: for the price I'm not expecting those features or criticising the deal, it's a great one for many, and I'm sure it has awesome sound quality .. just don't think it would be any use for me.
