Why Doesn't Philips Stand Behind Their Product?

I purchased mini stereo system c555, never used it much as I had satelite radio.  After 1 year, and usage of maybe 20x the sound would only come thru headphones.  Philips repair ppl could not fix as it was a defect in machine.  Philips were contacted and I was told to go whistle.  A quick way to throw away 360.00.  will NEVER purchase their products again.
