Ralph,
I'm afraid you are mistaken. Philips dropped Grundig about 1 and a half year
ago when the company couldn't make a profit for about 4 years. After Philips
bought of the contract with Grundig, Grundig seems to prosper again and now it
enters the MD market. Perhaps even to show Philips they were wrong ?
BTW other brands "owned" by Philips: Magnavox, Aristona, Denon (Yes, a
japanese company which has been making MD stuff for years, so they've actually
produced MD for quite some time)
