A Home Cinema System is not merely a piece of entertainment equipment, but it also happens to be an integral part of our home décor. Apart from elevating the mood and atmosphere of the room, a gorgeous looking system can go a long way in creating the perfect symphony, together with other decorative elements in the room. The latest Home Cinema System to hit the market is the Sony DAV-IS10 DVD, which is the perfect embodiment of the aforesaid with its drop-dead gorgeous looks. It’s also impressive that most of the features are structured in an unobtrusive manner, so that you can have access to all the prominent features with minimal fuss.
The unit has five tiny satellite speakers on board, each one the size of a golf ball, which makes them unobtrusive, discrete and easy to mount on the wall. The important thing here is that, despite their miniature stature, there is no compromise whatsoever as far as sound quality is concerned. Indeed with up to 450 W in power, the Sony DAV-IS10’s speakers offer performance comparable to that offered by much bigger models. Moreover, the build quality is of a very high order, and this lends the speakers an element of durability.
The unit’s connectivity is headed by an HDMI output, followed by component and composite video outputs, optical and coaxial digital audio inputs. The latter options are of particular significance considering that they allow you to enjoy 5.1 surround from a Sky+ box or separate DVD deck.
The unit’s upscaling capability stands at 720p and 1080i, but unfortunately not 1080p. It is also compatible with a host of diverse formats, including DVD, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD and CD-RW discs, apart from being able to read JPEG, MP3 and DivX files. Then, there is also a Digital Media Port that lets you connect a variety of optional Sony-made adapters, including Walkman and iPod cradles and Bluetooth or network wireless audio adapters.
