Features
The SA3125 is equipped with all forms of media playback. But the darn player takes a good 6-7 seconds to start up and you need to keep the power key pressed for almost 5 seconds plus for the device to shut down. The integrated FM radio allows you to save 10 presets, there’s a voice recorder for voice memos, a video player that plays SMV playback but you are going to have to use the converter software that Philips provides with the package to convert videos. Now don’t expect great picture quality, but I’ll simply say it’s not bad at all either.

 

You can also view your JPEGS on the player but again you will of course, need to convert your hi-res images down to an acceptable resolution to optimize it for viewing on the player. You can also simply drag and drop your images in to the ‘Photo’ folder but I have to warn you, if they aren’t converted you’re going to have some really odd looking images with some pretty distorted looking faces (it is good for a laugh though).

And of course the main feature is the music player but it has no features that make it any more attractive than the SA1355 . The SA1355, that doesn’t even have a color display and is half the size, actually has a few features that are lacking in this player. Quite relevant features too, like a manual EQ setting so you can adjust the levels to your preference. It does have 6 presets though. There’s also an absence of an FM recorder and a loop function. But on the plus side, the firmware is upgradeable.

This is a fine instrument; Good sound nice styling.
Unfortunately it does not support windows 2003. Does anybody know where I can download it's driver for win2K3?
Also i feel the headphones are not up to the mark, it keeps slipping from my ears (coming from phillips I'm surprised.)

The slowness of the OS really brings down the otherwise great VFM MP3 player performance. But again you will need good pair of earphones to actually judge its sound quality, which is clearly above average.

I own the player it has nice features and sound quality considering the price it costs but lacks multi-playlist feature.

I own a go gear of the same kind and i'm quiet happy with it.What that irritates is the video convertion but the play back is quiet nice

Bought this product for my klids - they love it-but now they want a silicone case. Would love to know who makes a silicone skin to fit this product as philips cant help and i cant seem to locate a generic model.

It takes hardly any time atall to convert pics to a sutible format but for videos it takes around the length of the video, but thats all sweet caus u can veiw it at the same time as it converts. The audio quality is awsome and it can hold up to 8 hours of video
yeya @ Aug 15, 2007

The philips mp3 player is a great item and the sound quality is very good and easy compares with great makes such as sony, ipods. The ear phones you get with the mp3 is excellent
loke @ Jul 02, 2007
what files do it play??? video and music
name unkown @ Jul 01, 2007
Hi all,
the review was good...but I doubt the audio quality wouldn't really be that good...as mentioned...definitely it can't match up to an iPod or Creative for that matter...but Philips too is known for quality...
plus the hassle of converting photos into a different format would also keep people away from this device...
