Sony DAV-FX500
CNET previews the Sony DAV-FX500, an XM-ready DVD Dream System home theater in a box with a five-disc CD/DVD changer that's due to be released in May 2006.
Quick Take: The Sony DAV-FX500 is the most affordable model in Sony's 2006 DVD Dream System home-theater-in-a-box lineup to feature a five-disc DVD changer and XM-ready satellite radio connectivity. It has a 5.1-speaker system, with an automatic speaker setup program and a microphone to assist with proper speaker placement and optimizing sound quality. Its connectivity is highlighted by an HDMI output, which can upconvert DVDs to 1080i or 720p. It is also XM-ready, which means that with a subscription, it can receive XM satellite radio by attaching an XM Connect-and-Play antenna. The Sony DAV-FX500 ($600 list) will be available in May.
