The Sony DAV-FX100W is a fine home theater system with features that make it stand out from its comparably priced competitors.

This home-theater-in-a-box sports a five-disc DVD/CD changer that is also compatible with SACD, letting listeners enjoy this terrific high-resolution audio format. The player automatically detects the type of disc present in the slot-loading changer, so there's no need to manually select the current disc format. The slot design is much sleeker than traditional carousel systems, and it proves to be faster for loading and unloading as well.

The DAV-FX100W employs Sony's S-Master digital amplifier to deliver 1,000 total watts of power. In addition, this system has wireless rear surround satellites, so there will not be any wires running across the living room. An HDMI interface allows a single-cable digital-to-digital connection with a similarly equipped digital television, and the DAV-FX100W uses 720p/1,080i upscaling for near-HD images.

The DAV-FX100W has a very substantial sound that is supported on the low end by the Digital Direct Twin Drive subwoofer, which provides solid, music bass.

The Sony DAV-FX100W is a feature-packed and quite capable system, especially for anyone looking for a home theater with wireless rear speakers.
