Sony Home Cinema Systems With Teeny Weeny Speakers
Sony has unwrapped some new BRAVIA Theatre Systems with those dinky little speakers that promise - despite their mouse-sized proportions - to roar like lions. The new DAV-IS50 replaces the first system with tiny speakers, the DAV-IS10, promising a total of 450Watts of power, enough to really cheese off the neighbours. The diminutive glossy black control centre is just over 21cm wide by 10cm tall and houses a slot-loading DVD/CD/MP3 player with surround-sound processing and an RDS FM/AM radio tuner. It comes with hidden touch-sensor controls on the top and there are wireless rear speakers to reduce the cable clutter associated with most surround sound systems. Sports fans will appreciate the ‘Sports Mode’, which fires the commentators voice ‘loud and clear from the centre speaker’, and the sound of the crowd spread through the other speakers. To top it off, the DVD player will upscale your regular DVDs to near-HD quality. The new HTD-890IS takes the teeny speakers and adds a DVD/Hard Disk recorder with 160GB capacity and both digital and analogue TV tuners. The HTD-890IS will record to blank DVD discs as well as store up to 455 hours of TV on the HDD. It has 2 USB ports, while the One-Touch DV Dub feature allows for easy copying from camcorder to HDD or blank DVD media. Finally, there’s the HT-IS100, billed as a ’simple surround-sound solution for your Blu-ray or DVD player. The HT-IS100, again with the tiny speakers, combines the surround processing and amplification into a single hideaway subwoofer unit. There’s also a HDMI port and component hook-ups for connecting to your HDTV. No prices yet, I’m afraid, but expect somewhere around £550-600 for the DAV-IS50.-Martin Lynch home cinema HDTV TV HD
