The easier way to build a home theater

The 5.1-channel speaker setup offers up to 1000W of total power, letting you get into the action like never before. Meanwhile, the Blu-ray/receiver unit plays the latest Full HD video and audio, making your favorite flicks look better than ever. It even offers 3D playback if you have a 3DTV and glasses! Plus, upscaling will play your old DVDs and SD Blu-rays in artifical HD. Better still, the BDV-E580 features built-in Wi-Fi. The benefits of the internet in your home theater system are twofold. First of all, you get access to tons of top streaming providers like Netflix, YouTube, HuluPlus, Pandora, VUDU, and more. Secondly, because the BDV-E580 is DLNA-compliant, it can play media files from other DLNA-compliant devices on your home network including many media servers, PCs, and more. The network connection will also allow you to wirelessly stream music to Sony Network speakers throughout your house using PartyStreaming. Offering even more sources of entertainment, this HTIB includes an iPod/iPhone dock and a USB port. If you have an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or even certain Android phones, you can also use your mobile device as a second remote control (through your network). You get basic functions plus a QWERTY keyboard so you can search for more info about what you're watching, including on YouTube and Wikipedia, or share your activity with your Twitter followers. This affordable system will have your home theater up and running in no time at all!
