No, they didn't, therefore they lost with their DCC, as well as
the V2000 format VCR (nobody remembers, perhaps :> ).

Philips may not be weak in technology, but they are weak in
marketing strategy.
They are simply not as clever as the Japanese. What a pity!

: They said that about music CDs back in 1983 and look what happened!

: When it comes to hi-fi any excuse to keep the prices up will do, in the UK
: at least.

: If Philips really wanted to oust Mini-Disc they should have brought out a
: machine that uses computer blanks - OK keep the SCMS if they have to. But
: did they - no of course not. We must use a special medium with a price
: premium. Didn't they learn their lesson from DCC??
