LCD Screen
The car audio system Philips CE233/GRS features a high-contrast black and white LCD screen and red button illumination.
Music Zone Function
With Philips' innovative Music Zone technology, the driver and passengers can enjoy music with more intense diffusion in the space, just as the artist intended.
Users can switch listening zones from the driver to the passengers and vice versa, in order to achieve the ideal sound focus in the car.
The special zone control button offers three preset settings - "Left", "Right" and "Front" (and "All") - for easy and dynamic sound selection according to your preferences.
Dynamic bass boost that electronically enhances low tones
Activate the Dynamic Bass Boost (DBB), and the low bass frequencies are electronically enhanced for consistent sound reproduction, especially when the speaker volume is set to a low level. Enjoy impressive bass every time.
Search by folder or song for instant finding and access
With this feature, you can find a song or album much faster, as the search is conducted in songs and folders, which are the usual contents of USB and SD devices.
Thanks to the dedicated folders/songs button, you can find what you're looking for in three simple steps: press the folders/songs button, rotate the volume knob, and press it to select a file.
With this simple process, you can easily and quickly browse your music without being distracted from the steering wheel.
MAX Sound for Instant Power Boost
MAX Sound technology produces an instant boost in bass and treble, maximizes volume performance, and creates the most impressive listening experience with the simple press of a button.
The advanced electronic circuitry calibrates the existing sound and volume settings and instantly boosts the bass, treble, and volume to the maximum level compared to the original sound, without distortion. Both the sound spectrum and volume are significantly enhanced, adding power to any music.
Audio Input for Portable Music Playback
The AUX audio input connection allows direct playback of audio files from portable media players. Besides enjoying your favorite music in the superior sound quality offered by the audio system, the audio input is also extremely user-friendly as all you need to do is connect your portable MP3 player to the audio system.
USB port for music playback and fast charging
The new Philips universal USB charging interface provides 1 Amp of current to a smart device, enough to charge its battery and power it for intensive use.
The software protocol is also designed to be compatible with almost all smartphones on the market and to immediately start the charging process when connected via USB.

Important information

I bought it today, an auto electrician recommended it, easy installation, as soon as I opened it the sound it produces is amazing and clear, it catches perfect signal and I like that the front panel comes off. Perfect design and very beautiful sound, along the way I will check the rest, it’s worth the money more than another OSIO or PIONEER, you can be sure, and its price is very fair...
Well despite the reviews and the brand, the product is like a cheap Chinese one. You can tell from how the buttons feel when you press them, the device's interior, the screen quality, the station search function, the sound quality, etc. It's better to get an osio at half the price, which might turn out better than this specific cheap product that doesn't justify the brand in any way. Too bad for Philips.
First time I see the Shuffle only working AFTER the end of the song... I have never seen this in any other device or music program I have used. It needs to finish the playing song in order to automatically and randomly select the next one, if the next/previous button is pressed it doesn't randomly select the next one but goes to the immediately previous or next one in the folder.
To change the SD, the front panel needs to be removed.
If the DBB or Max Sound is activated and then deactivated, the EQ does not return to the previous selection (Rock, Classic, User, etc.) but to Flat and the desired one needs to be selected again...
The radio either has good reception or it doesn't (in the area I am in, generally the signal is not very good, so it's a matter of that), there is no intermediate state, you either listen very clearly or you listen to noise, there is no intermediate state like in other audio systems I have tried.
Overall, if I knew these things from the beginning, I would have chosen another one.
