The Sony DAV-FX500 DVD Dream System is one of the most affordable
home-theater-in-a-box systems you will find anywhere that includes a
five-disc DVD changer and XM-ready satellite radio connectivity. A 5.

microphone to assist with proper speaker placement and optimizing sound
quality, along with an HDMI output, means that you can quickly convert
your living room into a full-fledged digital and high-definition theater
in no time. To go along with its sophisticated, contemporary design, the Sony
DAV-FX500 incorporates the latest audio and video technologies,
including an HDMI interface to ensure compatibility with the latest in
HD digital television. The system's HDMI output, with 720P/1080i
upscaling of DVD Media, reads the data on a standard DVD at 480P and
maximizes the video resolution to best fit your HDMI compatible TV. This

digital video and audio over one simple cable.
When it's time to calibrate the system to your room, Sony couldn't
have made it easier. The DAV-FX500 features Digital Cinema Auto
Calibration, which lets you simply place the included microphone in your
listening position while Sony's Digital Signal Processing takes over.
Speaker placement, distance, and delays are all adjusted automatically
to ensure a worry free listening experience. It couldn't be any easier
than this. And with the system's Multi-Speaker Formation Select feature,
you can use the on-screen display to configure the system for different
speaker layouts.
