Cinema Sound

It's not just about great pictures, is it? Sound is half the

story and the Sony BDV-E490 5.1 home theatre system

you get sound to make movies come alive with multiple

speakers including two tallboy side speakers, a powerful

subwoofer, an array of Dolby audio features. This Blu-ray

system opens up an exciting new experience for you, playing

brilliantly detailed 3D Blu-ray films. With the Video Up-Scaling,

its time to give those old DVD and slot them in your Blu-ray

system and enjoy them in near HD quality.

Cinema Sound

On the edge of your seat

Don't you just love being so scared you get goosebumps all over

your arms? Or so thrilled by a car chase, your legs can't stop

twitching? Being so breathtaken by an on screen romance, you

find yourself reaching for the tissues? This is why we watch movies

and sound is a huge part of the experience. There's just nothing like

being perched on the edge of your seat, waiting for the crack of a twig

in the woods behind you.

Unbelievable power with tallboys

When you watch movies, you want power. It's the only way to appreciate the intense realism of a 3D High Definition film. So let's

talk 1000 watts, five atmospheric surround sound speakers including two slim but mighty tallboy side speakers and a bass subwoofer

for those thumping rotor blades and laser cannons. Go on, slip in a disc. You'll be hovering in your seat waiting for the next bang, crash,

crunch.

Precise Sound

Choose from one of five pre programmed sound modes including 'Movies', 'Sport' and 'Live'. Get the best possible audio for that car chase

through Manhattan, that football match in the Nou Camp, and that Foo Fighters concert at Wembley Stadium. You also get a purer sound from

your MP3s and music you've streamed to your system with a built-in audio enhancer.

So cinematic

Be ready for the complete cinema experience everytime you put on a film. This system gives you a full array of essential Dolby technologies

including Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio. That's a lot of techno but what does

it mean? Sound as the director intended, intense realism and totally absorbing surround sound. It's great for gaming too.

Join the Cast in 3D

Action stations

It's Friday night, you've had a hard week and now you just want

to be taken away somewhere and thrilled. So you dim the lights,

put on your 3D glasses and load up one of your all-time favourite

movies. A car shoots by on your left. You jump to the right. Someone

steps out towards you and throws out an arm. You duck. Trees seem

to be swaying right before your eyes and that police helicopter just seems

to keep on coming. OK, so you get the picture. When you watch 3D high

definition, you're no longer a spectator, you're part of the movie, one of the

cast. It's an unforgettable experience.

Discover High Definition

Extraordinary detail

You've been loyal to your DVD collection and that's commendable but in your heart you know now is the time to move to Blu-ray. Your

mates have told you how good it is. Five times the picture quality, ten times the sound quality. You've seen it in action at your local pub

and you've been impressed by the clarity, the realism, the sharply defined details. Dark scenes no longer lost in shadow. Colours as vivid

as those in the real world. It's time your favourite movies got the Blu-ray treatment, right?

Upscale Your DVDs

New lease of life for old favourites

What about all those DVDs in the cupboard, you ask? Slot them in your Blu-ray system and you can enjoy them in near HD quality. Not only

does your Blu-ray play them perfectly, it also makes them sharper with more detailed and colour. The golden oldies will come to life with a

level of realism that simply wasn't there before.

Forget Cables

The new way is wireless

There was a time when the back of a telly looked like a

snake pit with wires trailing here, there and everywhere.

Things are changing. This player is Wi-Fi Ready so you can

connect a USB Wireless LAN adaptor, forget about cables

and link up with your home network over the airwaves.

It makes so much sense.

Connect and Play

It's as easy as USB

You've got to admit, USB drives are handy. So small yet they store so much.

Slot one into your Blu-ray system and you can play photo slideshows of your

deep sea fishing adventure, video of your brother's wedding and rock anthems

you've downloaded. It's also another easy way to get stuff off your PC and onto

your TV, if wireless streaming is all a bit too complicated for you. This system

include USB port so you can be entertained from a USB drive while staying

connected to the Internet.
