I have bought a PHILIPS FW-V795 VCD Mini HiFi System 7600W PMPO. I can't complain, from the picture to the sound. Just superb. And it's still working now like it's brand new.

PMPO is an advertising gimmick. It is even more deceptive than the old "peak power" or "peak-to-peak" terms, which actually have mathematical accuracy. They can be converted to RMS, which is a better way to describe power. PMPO is an artificially inflated figure that is completely meaningless.
It's no problem with the smile. But even what you say is true but still the quality of the sound cannot be ignored. It is closed to be comparable inside a theatre.
If you want to know how much power it actually has look at the wattage consumption label on the back, divide that figure by two. That will give a realistic estimate.
I see it. It's 175W, divide by 2, that would be 87.5W. How's that? What's that mean. How come they put 7600W on the front? What are they(manufacturer) trying to tell us?
"What are they(manufacturer) trying to tell us?" That they are following the most time honored tradition of the advertising business. It's called 'lying'. I wouldn't be surprised to find the actual RMS output is 76W, and that they added two extra decimal places to that figure. Caveat emptor.
