Key benefits
- 50 w rms output: Delivers room-filling sound for everyday listening in small to medium spaces.
- Bass-reflex speaker design: Helps produce fuller low-end sound for a richer listening experience.
- Cd player: Plays both MP3 CDs and standard recorded CDs, making it useful for existing disc collections.
- Dab+/fm radio with 20 presets each: Makes it easy to save and switch between favourite stations.
- Bluetooth multipoint: Lets two devices stay connected at once for easier sharing and switching.
- Usb playback: Gives you a simple way to play stored music files directly from a USB drive.
- Audio-in connection: Allows easy connection of external sources such as a turntable or other audio device.
- Auracast support: Adds flexible listening options by letting you broadcast to compatible speakers or receive audio elsewhere in the home.
Q: Can two phones stay connected by Bluetooth at the same time
A: Yes. Philips TAM6500 supports Bluetooth multipoint, so two devices can stay paired at once. Only one device plays audio at a time, which is useful when two users want to swap over without pairing again.
Q: Will this system work with any turntable through audio-in
A: It works with a turntable that can feed the audio-in connection directly. If your turntable outputs phono level only, it will need its own phono preamp first, because this system is not described as having one built in.
Q: Does Auracast let it play through regular Bluetooth speakers
A: No. Auracast needs compatible speakers or receivers, so it is not the same as standard Bluetooth speaker pairing. Setup is done through the Philips Entertainment app using PartyLink mode, and ordinary Bluetooth speakers are not added automatically.
Q: Can I send vinyl sound to other rooms with this system
A: Yes, with compatible Auracast speakers. Philips TAM6500 can take a record player through audio-in and broadcast that sound elsewhere in the house using PartyLink, but the extra speakers also need to support the same Auracast setup.
Q: Will it play burned CDs as well as shop-bought discs
A: Yes. Philips TAM6500 is described as reading standard recorded CDs and MP3 CDs, so it suits both regular albums and discs filled with MP3 files. Disc compatibility still depends on how the disc was burned and finalised.
Q: Can it play music files from a USB drive
A: Yes. Philips TAM6500 can play music from a USB drive as another source alongside CD, radio and Bluetooth. The USB connection is described for playback, so it is not a substitute for network streaming or broader file sharing around the home.
Q: Is there a headphone socket for private listening at night
A: Yes. A wired headphone jack is built in, so you can listen without using the main speakers. It suits CD, radio, Bluetooth or other connected sources, but it is for wired headphones rather than wireless Bluetooth listening.
