Manufacturer description

Sony is a leading manufacturer of audio, video, game, communications and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. The company is devoted to the celebration of life. It creates things for every kind of imagination, products that stimulate the senses and refresh the spirit, things that are not essential, but hard to live without. The innovative DAV-C900 is Sony's top DVD "Dream System." It gracefully combines startling performance with easy setup and use. The ultra-slender speaker/stand towers for front and surround do more than give the system a unique look; they're the right height for surround sound enjoyment right out of the box - no extra stands or wall brackets necessary. The 5-disc DVD/CD changer plays DVDs, most varieties of CDs, plus stereo and multichannel SACDs. Dolby Digital and DTS handle the surround decoding chores on DVD soundtracks, while Pro Logic provides wraparound sound for videotapes and TV broadcasts. A cool-running digital amplifier delivers astounding power for exciting sound experience! And enough inputs and outputs are provided to accommodate a complete A/V system - VCR, DBS, MiniDisc, and more. The DAV-C900's remote is home theater-ready, with glow-in-the-dark buttons and multibrand control for most TVs and cable boxes.
