Home Entertainment System
Pictured here is a system composed of a large-screen TV and home theater system, which brings the
excitement and realism of a movie theater into the home. The market for home theater systems has
continued to grow in recent years thanks to the proliferation of 5.1 channel DVD recordings and
Super Audio CD formats. The year under review was no exception. At the heart of the audio system
is Sony’s small, yet powerful, S-Master all-digital amplifier delivering superb high-fidelity sound.
Topping off the system is Sony’s exclusive
Digital Cinema Sound, a reverberation
technology that recreates the multi-
dimensional sensation of a theater. The
overall result is a truly revolutionary home
theater system.
Going still further, Sony offers the
option of adding Wega televisions and
projectors to home theater systems,
giving individuals a choice of stylish
theater systems or large-screen theater
systems based on the size of their room
and personal preferences.
