Sony HT-IS100 BRAVIA Micro Home Theater System Announced

492993.jpg

Offering a stylish solution for the modern high-definition home theater, Sony today introduced the HT-IS100 BRAVIA Theatre Micro System

Designed with five incredibly small speakers roughly the size of a golf ball, the new audio/video system delivers a rich surround sound experience that can be easily integrated into a home theater.

The system includes three 1080p HDMI™ inputs with repeater functionality and support for eight channels of uncompressed audio. It is an ideal complement for Blu-ray Disc™ players, PlayStation3 consoles and other high-definition sources.

With the ability to add optional wireless rear surround speakers and multi-room wireless speakers that configure automatically, the HT-IS100 system can be set up with fewer wires and without complicated wireless IP settings.

“Consumers want a cinema-like surround sound experience in their homes, but are hesitant to add large equipment that overpowers the decor,” said Tyler Ishida, director of marketing for Sony Electronics’ Digital Imaging and Audio Division. “The HT-IS100 packs all the power of a conventional home theater system in five discrete speakers that practically disappear in your living room.”

The 5.1 channel system, with 450 watts (RMS) of power, includes a subwoofer with integrated 32-bit S-Master digital amplifier for superb audio performance.

Featuring Sony’s S-AIR™ technology, you can add wireless multi-room listening throughout the home using Sony S-AIR Air Station speakers, which are sold separately. Television audio and music can be transmitted from the main system to multiple rooms throughout the home by connecting the Air Station into a power outlet. An optional speaker kit (WAHT-SA10 sold separately) delivers audio wirelessly to rear speakers, eliminating the need to run speaker wire from the front to the back of the room.

The system features Sony’s Digital Media Port, which adds control, networking and connectivity options for music playback through various accessories, including a Cradle for iPod (TDM-iP10), a Network Walkman™ cradle, a PC client device and a Bluetooth adapter (each is sold separately).

Sony’s Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) simplifies surround sound setup with the push of a button by automatically adjusting speaker frequency, distance and level.

The system also features BRAVIA Sync™ for Theater, which integrates its operation with select BRAVIA televisions and home theater products for one-touch play. With the touch of a button, you can automatically turn on and switch inputs, synchronizing connected devices to make operation easier.

Equipped with a Dialogue Audio Enhancer with night mode, the system can adjust audio levels for dialogue when the receiver volume is turned low. Additionally, the updated Portable Audio Enhancer feature improves the clarity and depth of digital audio devices connected to the system by adding information to the audio signal that had been removed during compression.

The HT-IS100 system will be available in July for about $700 at Sony Style stores, online through http://www.sonystyle.com, at military base exchanges and at authorized dealers nationwide. Digital Media Port accessories and thin antenna speaker stands are also available at Sony Style stores.
