Sony DAV-X1 Theater System

Sony's Dream Systems have set the pace for stylish home-theater-in-a-box systems (HTIBs) for years. Now, with its new DAV-X1 Platinum DVD Dream System, the company's designers have downsized the formula. Sony has added new features, such as high-resolution upconversion via HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) output. It has also drastically reduced setup hassles and deleted three satellite speakers from the standard 5.1 array. The DAV-X1's new S-Force Pro 2.1 Surround Sound technology uses an all-digital process to synthesize a surround experience from its 2.1-channel satellite/subwoofer system. And while the X1--like all simulated-surround products--can't match the output quality of bona fide multichannel systems, we found it sonically competitive with other virtual-surround HTIBs. The micro DAV-X1 Dream System comes with a full-size $1,000 list price, but it's a worthwhile investment for HTIB shoppers who place a high priority on compact size, high style, and streamlined setup. The Sony DAV-X1 is the smallest Dream System ever--a mere 2 inches high by 15 inches wide by 11.6 inches deep. The ribbed-aluminum receiver/DVD player's front panel has just a few buttons and an easy-to-read display, and its svelte, curvy body looks far more stylish than the boxy designs of most home-audio components. A sleek remote hides less-used buttons under a sliding door so that only the everyday controls are exposed.

The two silver-plastic satellites are a petite 3.1 inches high, 6.5 inches wide, and 5.2 inches deep. The rounded wood-and-plastic subwoofer is about average size for a $1,000 HTIB sub: 14.2 inches high, 8.2 inches wide, and 19.2 inches deep. The black beauty weighs 21.6 pounds.

Hooking the system up couldn't be easier: you get one long cable that forks out to three, with special plugs for the satellites and the subwoofer. The satellite sections extend a total of 16.4 feet; the centered subwoofer cable, a mere 9.8 feet. Each plug is clearly labeled for its intended destination, so we're sure that even the most technophobic buyers will have their DAV-X1s up and running in no time.

The X1's operating instructions explain how to position the two speakers. For best results, you should place each one the same distance from your listening position, forming an equilateral triangle. You also want to elevate the speakers to the height of a seated listener's ears. The area to the front and the sides of the speakers must be free of reflecting obstacles or furniture. The DAV-X1 comes with a setup DVD that includes test tones, a helicopter effect, and the sound of a baseball getting hit and bouncing around your home theater. We never quite achieved a perfect surround effect, but it was definitely above par for a virtual-surround system. Other than that, you won't have to fuss with audio setup, but you may need to navigate the Screen Setup menu to select your TV's aspect ratio. If you're using the HDMI output, you can set the output to 720p or 1080i video resolution--a boon for HDTV owners. The main unit of the Sony DAV-X1 houses the A/V receiver and the disc player. It plays DVDs, audio CDs, and SACD discs as well as the standard variety of home-burned DVD-R/RWs, +R/RWs, CD-R/RWs, and MP3 CDs. The system supports standard Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS surround-decoding modes, but it uses a digital-signal-processing system Sony calls S-Force Pro 2.1 to simulate a surround-sound field from two speakers.

This is a great 2.1 surround sound system. It goes perfectly in my lounge for watching dvd's and playing the games console through it. The sound is amazing and very crisp and the bass blows the doors down!!
