Sony brings three new additions to the home theater system’s family, comprising of the DAV-HDX589W, the DAV-HDX587WC and the DAV-HDX285.
Offering 1,000 watts of maximum power, each home theater system comes incorporated with five disc DVD/CD changers to provide an admirable performance and quality with a simplified set-up.
Talking about the sleek DAV-HDX589W and DAV-HDX587WC, the 5.1 channel systems feature an “Easy Set-up” disc with step-by-step instructions to guide users to set up the main unit, wire speaker cables and calibrate all system speakers.
Equipped with an iPod cradle, the two home theater systems enables users to play music and video files from a connected device via a Digital Media Port. Further, the company’s DMPort Booster technology helps to deliver enhanced sound quality.
Both the high end systems upscale DVDs to near HD quality through the available HDMI cable by connecting to an HDTV set. The inclusion of Digital Cinema Auto Calibration, Portable Audio Enhancer and Dialogue Enhancer promises to offer optimal surround sound experience. They also claim to take full advantage of Sony’s S-AIR technology to transmit wireless audio up to 164 feet.
While the DAV-HDX589W system works on WAHT-SA10 S-AIR wireless rear speakers, the DAV-HDX587WC utilizes AIR-SA10 S-AIR multi-room listening station.
Both the DAV-HDX589W as well as DAV-HDX587WC home theater systems will be available by end of this month for about $430 (approx. Rs. 22,280). The AIR-SA10 and WAHT-SA10 S-AIR speaker systems cost $120 (approx. Rs. 6,220) and $150 (approx. Rs. 7,770), respectively.
Coming to the entry-level HDX285 model, it has the ability to upscale DVD video signals to offer nearly high-definition quality and supports an HDMI port. It features an iPod cradle, Digital Media Port and DMPort Booster along with movie/music mode and the S-AIR ready technology.
