Phillips FWC577 CD Shelf System

Dust inside the cd player could be causing problems.
You need to try playing a cleaning cd and follow the instructions that come with it. You can also spray compressed air to clean out the cd portion of the stereo. You can also try unplugging the unit for 20 minutes and then plug it back in. Make sure your cds are clean and not too scratched up. If the unit is under a year old it may still be under warranty. If this does not resolve the issue you may have to have the unit professionally repaired. If the unit is not worth repairing you may need to buy another unit.

the interface will probably only work with the phillips software, but many of those stereos support playing from a flash drive.

The symptom you are describing is exactly what is known as a "BLOWN" speaker or the voice coil has "shorted", this is caused from the volume being up to loud, heating up the voice coil and frying it, in the future if the bass/sound is distorted then turn the volume down just enough to stop the distortion and this will save the speaker.
As far as getting a replacement speaker, you will have to contact the manufacture to get a replacement.
Good Luck !

Try cleaning the discs with straight swipes, with a dry cloth, like your shirt, starting from the center and swiping outward.

Below are links to the manuals. I also have this system with the original manuals.

Basically, press the "load" button to open up the CD mechanism, put a CD on the spindle, and press load again to close the CD mechanism. Press the "CD" button to start playing the CD. Page 12 in the User's Guide has instructions on configuring the radio presets.

yes

I had the same thing happen to mine, only after six years, After taking the top off, and looking at the inside, I realized it was the belt that had stretched out. I am still trying to find a place that sells replacement belts. I was able to get it to work by taking the belt out, cleaning it with a tissue and some rubbing alcohol, and putting it back in. you may want to look into the belt.
