Yesterday we looked at the Sony BDV-E800W and on Tuesday we previewed the BDV-E300, two blu-ray surround sound home cinema systems we’re looking forward to seeing at the IFA in Berlin this year.
Today’s offering, the Sony BDV-Z7, offers most of the facilities of the two systems we’ve reviewed this week but is more suited to smaller rooms or apartments.
The BDV-Z7 is stylish and compact with a 2.1-channel format creating great surround sound using Sony’s S-Force Front Surround technology. This gives a virtual 5.1 surround sound experience.
There’s no need for rear speakers for the sound to wraparound and is therefore suited more to smaller rooms or just keeping the number of speakers floating around your room to an absolute minimum, while still getting some great quality sound.
Somehow the Z7 manages to pack in a 350W power output, BD-Live, 24p and x.v.Colour, Full HD video with the latest HD audio codecs, 1080p upscaling for DVDs, BRAVIA Sync (so you only need one remote control) and a Digital Media Port. We’re not quite sure where though- it’s so compact.
Tomorrow we’ll take a look at three other systems built around Sony’s BDP-S360 Blu-ray disc player. So you don’t miss out, subscribe to our feed now.
