- Sony DAV-HDX589W
- The big upgrade in home-in-a-box systems for 2009 is a built-in Blu-ray player. But those models start at $500. If you don't want to spend that much--and you're not ready for Blu-ray--there are still plenty of home theater systems with "just" DVD. Sony has three such models, each of which...

- Sony HT-SS360
- Photo gallery:Sony HT-SS360Home-theater-in-a-box systems have been around forever, but the latest marketing angle is the "Blu-ray ready HTIB." The new phrase simply means that the system consists of a surround-sound-speaker system and an AV receiver, so you only need to add a Blu-ray player to complete your home theater. The...

- Sony STR-DG920
- Photo gallery:Sony STR-DG920Back in 2006, the STR-DA5200ES was the first AV receiver to feature a high-definition graphical user interface GUI for setup, finally replacing the ugly VCR-style text menu offered on even the most expensive AV receivers at the time.

- Sony DAV-HDX500
- Sony's 2007 Bravia home theater in a box HTIB systems represent something of a departure from the company's popular Dream systems. The new line isn't quite as sleek--the Bravia DAV-HDX500's AV receiver/DVD changer has a bigger footprint and is a tad more generic-looking than the Dream's, and the speakers aren't...

- Sony DAV-HDX267W
- It might be an overly simplistic view, but the balance of design, features, and performance is generally all that separates one home theater in a box HTIB from another.

- Sony DAV-X1V
- When Sony launched its 2.1-channel DAV-X1 in 2005, it was clear that the company was gunning straight for the Bose 3-2-1 system. A year on, as the market for "lifestyle-friendly" virtual surround systems continues to grow, Sony has upgraded the X1 to handle the increased competition. An assortment of key...

- Sony STR DA5200ES - AV receiver - 7.1 channel
- Everything about A/V receivers seems to be changing. HDMI and video upconversion, as well as a virtually endless list of additional features have changed receivers from being essentially an amplifier to being the true brain of a separates-based home theater system. But up until the Sony STR-DA5200ES, even the most...

- Just as the Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD race is about to kick into second gear with the imminent release of Sony's BDP-S1 player, Sony unveils its first A/V receiver "designed to optimize Blu-ray and other sources." It's not any more integrated with Blu-ray players than other midprice HDMI receivers, but the...
