Surround yourself with sound, not wires

Yes, it's true . . . You can have surround sound without the mess of wires running back to your rear speakers. Your new 5.1-channel BRAVIA DAVHDX279W DVD home theater system from Sony features S-AIR® Surround Wireless. Simply connect the included WAHT-SD1 200W, 2-channel amplifier and infrared receiver and place the rear speakers of your DAVHDX279W BRAVIA® Theater system exactly where you want them. Using Digital Infrared Audio Transmission technology, your rear surround speakers receive an audio signal wirelessly, saving you the hassle of hiding speaker wires for a custom installation. Spend more time watching your favorite movies with room-filling sound and less time setting up.

Bring on the home-theater experience!

How would you define "home theater"? How about with a 5-disc DVD player, 5.1-channel surround-sound speaker system, and 1000W of output power? How about with the Sony DAV-HDX279W? Definitely. Experience your massive DVD home-video library like never before thanks to the high-performance, highly affordable DAVHDX279W from Sony. Not only can you quickly switch between 5 DVDs stored within the DVD/amplifier unit, but you enjoy each of them on 5.1 channels of surround sound fueled by 1000W. Just push PLAY.

An 'upscale' DVD player

You might be thinking, "Hey, I just bought a brand new 1080p HDTV from you guys, and now you want me to buy a DVD player?" While DVDs do contain 480i standard-definition content, the DAVHDX279W has a cool trick up its sleeve — 1080p upscaling via HDMI. Video processing technology upscales DVD video content to 1080p, the highest resolution currently available. So, not only will you be enjoying your favorite DVDs in 5.1 surround sound, you'll be seeing every scene in 1080p high definition.

Hey, your iPod can play, too!

Your portable iPod tunes aren't just for be-bopping around town anymore. Your new DAVHDX279W includes an iPod dock — perfect for plugging your iPod in when you get home so that you don't have to wait to finish that mix until the next time you head out. Even better, Sony has designed the DAVHDX279W with a Portable Audio Enhancer. A powerful digital signal processor expands the quality of compressed, portable audio content, bringing new life to your iPod tunes.

System optimization

Now the optimal speaker settings for your living room are only a press of button away, thanks to the DAVDHX279W's Digital Cinema Audio Calibration. Simply place the included microphone in your listening position and allow the strength of Sony's Digital Signal Processing to take over. Speaker placement, distance, and delays are all calibrated automatically to ensure a worry-free listening experience. Additionally, you can the on-screen Multi Speaker Formation feature to configure your system's performance for different speaker layouts. Finally, a Music/Movie mode automatically adjusts the system's sound characteristics to match your source material, movies vs. music.

Ah, BRAVIA®

As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA® Theatre Sync&trade technology to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When you combine your new DAVHDX279W with a select number of BRAVIA LCD televisions and other Sony audio and video products, control functions will also be transmitted via the HDMI cable. With "One Touch Play", operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on then the BRAVIA television will turn on and switch to the correct video input...Simple...Easy...BRAVIA Theatre Sync.

Moor up to the Digital Media Port

As the demand for digital content continues to be strong, here's the challenge: how do you integrate music in various forms into a home theater system. The answer: Sony's DIGITAL MEDIA PORT (DMP). Together with one of the DMP accessories (sold separately), this proprietary interface adds networking and connectivity to the options of home theater systems and components, and connects, controls, and powers various devices, making set up easy and operation simple. The optional DMP accessories compatible with your DAVHDX279W include a PC Client device, Bluetooth® receiver and Audio Docking Stations compatible with Network Walkman&trade and iPod® products. So regardless of how you store your music, Sony's DIGITAL MEDIA PORT offers an access point to integrate your portable music into a traditional home theater system.

HDMIncredible

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Sony's DAVHDX279W features an HDMI connection. 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.

Avoid the 'No Wire' ire

The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new DAVHDX279W offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list. Vann's sales representatives are here to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your hi-def system. Call for expert advice: 1-800-769-5668.
