Convenience on its own is one thing, but convenience combined with awesome sound quality is a whole other story. The DAV-LF1 combines the quality of Sony's Dream System product line, complete with multichannel SACD playback, with the convenience of...

Sony DAV-LF1 DVD Platinum Dream System

 

If not for all the wires, Sony's wireless DAV-LF1 DVD Platinum Dream System would be absolutely dreamy. Even with today's technology, a home theater can't do wireless like a cell phone or a home network or laptop stoked with Wi-Fi. The best it can do...

A transmitter the size of a clamshell cell phone, tethered by wire to another mini-jack on the amplifier, sends audio signals from the amplifier up to 33 feet to the surround speaker equipped with the IR receiver. That speaker must be plugged into an...

I have found this device essential to me. It is the only way I currently know of recording off of the new generation ipods. This has made it possible for me to compose music and to share it with friends in a way that would have simply been impossible....

The main reason I got this recorder was to record phone conversations of sales calls for my notes at work. I got a RadioShack device that plugs into the phone and then has a jack that goes to a mic. input. The RadioShack device works fine with a tape...

Works great, totally worth it!

 

Works great, totally worth it!

I use this to record piano parts for audition songs, songs I've written, etc. It gets a little buzzy when it's too close to whatever is making noise (especially musical instruments) Great for picking up speech-level audio. More than decent at picking...

Product Specifications

The perfect home theater is missing something - wires. The DAV-LF1 features Digital Infrared Audio Transmission (DIAT), which Sony developed to transmit the audio signals using infrared. It can maintain the original signal integrity of the most advanced high bandwidth media like HDTV and SA-CD. This means you won't have wires running down the length of your living room, just so you can set up your rear speakers. The total system power of the DAV-LF1 is a hefty 600 watts, and it includes a DVD/SACD/CD player, Bass Enhancement Function, CD/SACD Text, and Digital Cinema Sound System. It's time to step up to wireless surround sound. The DAV-LF1 is the home theater buff's dream.
