Remember those seven Sony blu-ray/surround sound home cinema systems we told you about on Monday? Well, this is one of them. The Sony BDV-E300.
In essence, the BDV-E300, we’ll call it E300 for short, is in the most part identical to its brother system, the BDV-E800W (previewed tomorrow). It does, however, have a few subtle differences to help you decide.
For starters, both systems kick off with 1000w of amplification with Sony’s S-Master digital amplifier. They also both have the latest Blu-ray Disc features, such as BD-Live for added content and features.
The E300, alongside its 800W brother, boasts 24p with x.v.Colour- the latter of which is a Sony technology utilisting nearly double the range of colours that can be successfully reproduced. Needless to say, the quality will be amazing.
The E300 packs in a lot more strange yet interesting technology names too. With Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA with Sony's Digital Cinema Sound you’re in for a cinematic feast.
The E300 will also upscale your existing DVDs so that they’re nearly as good as in HD, and have Sony’s Virtual 7.1-channel sound so you can have a complete “wraparound” experience without the need for a mess of speakers cluttering your room.
If you’re not satisfied with virtual surround sound- and lets, face it, why should you be?- a real 7.1 set-up is also possible with the wireless upgrade kit WAHT-SBP1. This comes complete with an amplifier and two additional speakers.
“The systems,” say Sony “are as simple to use as they are breathtaking in performance”. With Sony’s BRAVIA Sync, you’ll have seamless operation of a complete Sony system with one remote handset- no more masses of controls.
Where the E300 differs from the 800W is in its use of five compact satellite speakers for the main channels, which can be place around the room. Both models feature a powerful subwoofer, and the E300 offers wireless operation of the rear speakers with the addition of the WAHT-SA1 optional amplifier, just incase you want true and total power over your home cinema system.
There’s even a few more features too, but we’ll save them for tomorrow. The Digital Cinema Auto Calibration and Digital Media Port are just two that will be covered with the 800W tomorrow. Why not subscribe to our feed now to make sure you don’t miss out?
One thought on “Sony BDV-E300: Blu-ray and surround sound”
I love the Sony BDV E300 system to bits especially after buying it from tesco two days ago for an amazing price of only £299.99… Get yours quick before they discover their losses. PS.. I don’t work for Tesco.
