Sometimes, true surround sound is overkill. While chair-bouncing sound pumping out of a phalanx of speakers in the living room intensifies movies viewing in the living room, it’s often easier just to set up a smaller home theater system - like the Sony DAV-F200 - and call it a day.
The two 450-watt speakers and a subwoofer simulate surround sound.
A glassy black central control panel that plays DVDs and CDs can sit on a stand or even be mounted to a wall.
It converts standard DVDs to the high-definition 1080p standard and sends them over an HDMI cable to a high-definition TV.
The speakers have a “dialogs enhancer mode” that isolates and heightens spoken parts of a film so the actors word can be heard over soaring soundtracks or explosions.
The device can also extract audio from compatible MP3 players and thumbdrives. (Fans of MP3s can turn on the portable audio enhancer to smooth out compress music files.)
With an optional adaptor, music lovers can connect their iPods and Bluetooth-enabled cell phones and laptops to the home theater system.
Sony DAV-F200 will be available in the United States next month.
