Philips integrated their CD-i technology in different other consumer electronics models, like a television and in a stereo radio. In this setup, your cassettes and FM radio are combined with a CD player that can also handle CD-i and VCD's, thanks to the integrated Digital Video Cartridge. The nice thing is, that in this case the CD's are controlled with the buttons on the system itself, The source button is extended with a CD-i function, the output is positioned at the back of the system.
The CD-i audio output had different channels than the other audio output. It's pretty unique what Philips did here: I've never seen a console technique built into a stereo set. But Philips invented for you, at that time!
When you look inside, you see the DVC nicely integrated vertically, it's actually a tight package inside.
I like the fact that they also integrated a seperate microphone 3,5mm jack on the front to be able to enjoy karaoke cdi's. That was definately one of the unique selling points of this stereo set!
