The three-way bass reflex speaker system is equipped with 6.5-inch front bass radiators for greater bass reproduction, 5.25-inch woofers, 2-inch tweeters, and 1-inch piezzos, all housed in a three-way enclosure for a wider range of frequency response and deeper bass sound. Incorporated into the system is wOOx technology with three-step level control. The Philips patented wOOx technology ensures superior bass results by using a dual-suspension bass radiator and dedicated amplifier circuitry that has been specially designed to produce and handle high dynamic sound signals at very low frequencies. The three-step wOOx level control lets you set the amount by which the bass sound will be enhanced. Also integrated into the FWC780 is "Incredible Surround," a simulated surround-sound technology designed for applications with limited separation of left and right speakers, widening the stereo spatial image for broader sound from two-channel systems.

The three-CD changer with motorized drawer has multidisc play capability providing more than three hours of continuous music. The CD player plays CD-R and CD-RW discs, so you can enjoy home-recorded discs over the entire lifetime of the player. The direct-play button lets you select and play any CD in the carousel at the touch of a button, or change out the other two discs while the third one continues playing. One-touch CD synchro recording allows the cassette deck and CD player to communicate with one another to synchronize the start of a cassette recording with the start of a CD or a CD program. Repeat, random, shuffle one/all, and CD programming are standard playback features on this mini system.

Other great features are a video/auxiliary input for connection of an accessory piece, such as a DVD player, TV, or external cassette deck, and a digital AM/FM tuner with 40-station preset memory. A clock, alarm, and sleep timer are included, so you can wake up to music from your favorite CD or radio station. And the three display modes show different amounts of display on the LCD, including a night mode display that turns off most of the system's lights.

Completing the FWC780 is the design itself. Rich metallic finishings, dramatic surfacing, a large, multicolor FTD display, and an ergonomic control layout optimize the system for comfort and convenience.
