As long as we're diverting conclusions about this conversation:

To keep the warranty valid, never try to repair the system yourself. If you encounter problems when using this device, check the following points before requesting service. If the problem remains unsolved, go to the Philips Web page (www. philips.com/support). When you contact Philips, make sure that the device is nearby and the model number and serial number are available. No power • Ensure that the AC power plug of the unit is connected properly. • Ensure that there  is power at the AC outlet. No sound • Adjust the volume. No response from the unit • Disconnect and reconnect the AC power plug, then turn on the unit again. Poor radio reception • Increase the distance between the unit and other electrical appliances. • Fully extend and adjust the position of the antenna

Also for the record, I have neither up-thumbed nor down-thumbed anyone in this conversation.

I hear this statement used as an ad hominem.  I have my own house. I don't live in a trailer park, but I must say that it's more dignified of people living in trailers than people living in apartments. At least with trailers, the person (generally) owns it or they're making payments to, ultimately, own it. Conversely, the apartment dweller is a rent-slave subject arbitrary incursions by staff. With owners of trailers, there is sovereignty, and even more so if they have their own plot of land, but the apartment dweller is a punk. He's living in a communist-like environment. No ownership. No equity. No freedom. Everyone is basically the same. Paying his money to make another person rich.
