It features a 5 disc DVD/CD/SA-CD changer, 1000 watts total system power handling, and a sleek, silver aluminum finish sure to compliment your favorite room in the house. Sound enhancements like the S-Master Digital Amplifier processes HDTV digital audio sources for clear sound reproduction while the HDMI connection carries uncompressed audio and video signals for uncompromised sound and picture reproduction as well as selectable 720p or 1080i output.
The DAV-FX100W provides 143 watts to each of its five channels and 285 watts to the subwoofer, which features an 8-inch woofer for low-tone bass and smooth, powerful effects. This system will adapt to fit any room with adjustable floor-standing speakers that you can place in a variety of positions.
Sony's Digital Infrared Audio Transmission (DIAT) system enables you to enjoy the full power of 5.1 channel surround sound without running wires from the front of the room to the rear speakers (other speakers connect via cables). The advanced DIAT technology transfers digital audio signals without compression or compromise to sound quality. It ensures pure audio reproduction without deterioration that might be present in other wireless transmission methodologies. DIAT's unique build insures that the system is not vulnerable to interference by other wireless information or data transmitted from common hold-hold items such as microwaves and cordless phones.

Product Description
The ultimate question in setting up a home-theater surround system is how to track the wires to the rear speakers. Among couples, this wiring is often a dispute. So Sony has developed a wireless way of connecting the rear speakers. Sony introduces DIAT as a means of keeping everyone in the family happy and to introduce an easier method to appreciate home-theater surround sound without the mess of all the wires. Front, center, and subwoofer speakers are wired to the main unit that consists of a 5-Disc DVD CD Changer and Player, as well as an integrated AM/FM radio. At 1000 Watts of power and with DIAT, this Sony Dream System is truly a dream come true.

It's about time that (relatively) affordable wireless home theater systems have started becoming available. As someone who's never been thrilled by running wires across the living room--or even worse, under carpet or through walls--to the rear speakers, this system really was a dream come true. I chose the Sony system over others on the market because it sends infrared rather than RF signals to the rear speakers. Other RF-wireless systems use the same crowded 2.4GHz frequency band shared by Wi-Fi networks, cordless telephones, and microwaves, so the IR technology really cuts down on interference if you (like me) have a wireless home network.
The sound from this setup is great for an HTIB, and I haven't noticed that the wireless aspect of the system degrades rear-speaker sound quality at all. An earlier reviewer complained about the low-end power (or lack thereof) of the non-powered subwoofer, but I've actually noticed the opposite--sometimes the bass actually seems a little *too* powerful.
