Sony DAVHDX589W 5.1-channel black BRAVIA DVD home theater system

Surround yourself, wirelessly

True, the enveloping, immersive experience offered by full 5.1-channel surround sound is worth the exquisite hassle of running wires to the rear surround speakers at the back of your living room. But, imagine how much more blissful surround would be with speaker wire completely out of the picture. Using integrated S-AIR wireless technology, the Sony DAV-HDX589W 5.1-channel DVD home theater system offers wireless operation of the rear surround speakers. The included S-AIR wireless module fuels each full-range rear speaker with 144W of power for a startlingly real surround sound experience.

The surround sound DVD home theater experience

Sony's DAV-HDX589W DVD home theater system serves up an advanced audio and video experience. First, a full 5.1-channel surround sound speaker system complete with powered subwoofer and fueled by a whopping 1000W of power brings the multi-channel surround sound found on many DVD movies to life, enveloping you in clear, detailed sound. Second, while the five-disc DVD player supports playback of DVD, CD, MP3, and SA-CD media, it also upscales DVD video to near-HD 720p and 1080p levels via the single HDMI output, delivering a stunning video spectacle optimized for your flat panel HDTV. Finally, a host of audio and video connections — including component- and composite-video output and digital optical and coaxial audio input — make the DAV-HDX589W a versatile home theater component.

That's right: iPod ready

Bring on the iPod. Thanks to the included iPod dock, integrating your iPod personal music player into the Sony DAV-HDX589W is a cinch. Connect the dock to the DVD player/receiver unit, plug your iPod into the dock, and you're enjoying your favorite portable tunes right in your living room.
