Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
The FW-i1000 Internet Audio Mini Hi-Fi System is the very latest in
Internet-connected innovation from Philips. Connect this powerful mini
shelf system to your broadband Internet source and enjoy digital Internet
radio streaming in from over 1,000 stations around the globe.
At the touch of a button you could be
tuning in from America to Africa, listening to your personal selection of
the hottest radio in 10 languages and 6 regions. Take your pick of
stations across 25 genres ranging from "eXtreme" to
"classical" to "sports" and "foreign news."
To keep your FW-i1000 up-to-date,
Philips will let you know about new developments and you can simply use
your Internet connection to download and install upgrades of firmware,
encoding technology, and other cool features.
Of course, the FW-i1000 is also
the kind of superb, all-round mini hi-fi system you'd expect from Philips,
pumping out an earthshaking 240 watts (total power). The three-CD changer
plays CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs, and the wOOx technology patented by Philips
guarantees powerful, deep bass.
Used with a broadband connection, the
innovative new FW-i1000 brings uninterrupted streaming digital
audio from the Internet, granting access to more than 1,000 of the world's
highest-quality Internet radio stations. The FW-i1000 delivers
excellent sound quality due to the high bit rate of its audio streams, as
well as its many sound-enhancement features.
Because the broadband connection is
always available through your home network (a requirement for full
enjoyment of this product), there is no need to set up the system every
time you want to listen to Internet music or entertainment--it's
automatically at the ready.
Accessing the reach of worldwide music
and entertainment is as easy as pressing a button. Just as you'd press
your choice of CD, radio, or cassette source options on a CD-based mini
system, you can also simply press "Internet" to instantaneously
hear radio from around the world.
The Philips system also lets you sort
radio stations by genre, region, or language for greater flexibility and
customization. For example, users can select music/radio through
pre-categorized channels based on:
- Genre: Alternative, Blues,
Classic, Country, News, Sports, Oldies, etc.
- Language: English, Spanish,
French, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, etc.
- Region: North America, Latin
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, Middle East
The FW-i1000 can display the
station name, and, when available, the artist and title, while the music
is playing. Furthermore, you can also use the FW-i1000 as a
playback device for MP3 files stored on a home PC.
