Sony has introduced a new home theater system, the DAV-DZ290, equipped with a USB Movie playback feature that allows users to view MP3, JPEG, and DivX content directly from a USB drive.
The system provides a high definition 1080p resolution through its HDMI connection. The HDMI input claims to simplify the connection to the LCD TV whereas the DTH connection is said to provide enhanced audio quality and surround sound.
The Sony BRAVIA DAV-DZ290 Home theatre system which is tagged Rs. 16, 990 will be available via select Sony authorized dealers and national retail partners across the country.
Don’t be surprised if the next Macbook or Apple desktop suddenly comes with a blu-ray player in tow. There is conjecture that Apple might be adding Blu-ray drives to some of their machines despite Apple leader, Steven Jobs, recently complaining about the licensing fees and process for Blu-ray.
Apple Computer was one of the big supporters for Blu-ray in the HD DVD versus Blu-ray HD disc format war. We know who won there and Blu-ray is rocking over 20 percent market share with its 1080p video and HD audio performance. Apple’s iTunes is HD video at 720p and downloadable. Beyond home theater applications - the increased storage capacity of Blu-ray as a disc format makes it tempting for Apple super-heavy-users on the desktop tower Mac Pro machines.
A Blu-ray drive in a Mac Mini or Apple TV would raise the price but would make it even more tempting in the home theater market as you would have the best in music/movie downloads along with the best in 1080p video in one slick package.
