Continue reading to learn how this vast 500GB memory capacity delivers a foundation for the preservation of your memories, your way.

Your memories, your x-Story, your x-ScrapBook

You don't have the 137 hours of video, the 40,000 songs or the 20,000 photos it would take to fill your new HESV1000's 500GBs of memory because you are casual partaker of video and audio. Not even close. There's a part of your interaction with your audio and video collection that is a demonstration of you — your uniqueness, your tastes, interests, etcetera. But why should the audio part and the video part exist independently? With the HESV1000, they don't have to. Your new Sony media server features two applications that give you the ability to create multimedia digital scrapbooks that integrate your audio and video tastes. First, x-Pict Story&trade HD utilizes unique layout strategies with sophisticated face-recognition technology as well as synchronizes image transitions with your music to create a multimedia experience customized to fit you, using your photos and your music. Second, x-ScrapBook&trade offers a compelling slide show that the HESV1000 automatically arranges in an accelerated time frame to explore your memories in a personalized digital scrapbook. With Sony's HESV1000, you can take you music and photos and make something more — memories for tomorrow.

BRAVIA® Theatre Sync&trade means simplicity

This is true 'one-button' control. Taking the lead in the next step beyond simple audio and video transmission functions, Sony has developed BRAVIA® Theatre Sync&trade, featured on your new HESV1000 multimedia server. In combination with select Sony BRAVIA video and audio products, single-command, multiple control functions can be transmitted via HDMI. By pressing a single button on the remote, such as PLAY, all audio and video components will turn on and the BRAVIA television will turn on as well before switching to the appropriate video input. Get ready to experience your video and audio media like never before.

Setting the Bar&trade for hi-def navigation

So packed with high-speed, high-definition and high-wow!-rating features is your new HESV1000 that you might think that navigating all of those features to be a daunting task. Sony asks you to think again. The HESV1000 includes the Xross Media Bar&trade graphic user interface — an on-screen menu system that simplifies the most complex operations of an A/V system for home theater applications. This advanced menu system incorporates icons, an easy to follow "tree" system and a blending technique so you know exactly where you are amongst the various settings while still watching your main video source (up to 1080i). The Xross Media Bar on your HESV1000 operates in tandem with All-Media Guide® metadata technology. It's simple. Just pick up the remote and embark on a sea of audio and video wonder.

HDMI — The definition of connectivity

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity and connectability, Sony's HESV1000 features 1 HDMI output. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.

The Hub

Sure, your new Sony HESV1000 can only be in one room at a time, but this doesn't mean that you can't listen to your music anywhere in the house. Sony has designed the HESV1000 to operate with DLNA compliant clients, allowing you to wirelessly stream audio to any room where you've set-up a wireless audio system, such as Sony's CPF-IX001 wireless PC audio system.
