Sony DAV-LF10 home theater system

Date Published: 5/12/08

The Sony DAV-LF10 home theater system is packed to the gills with features, including wireless speakers and SACD playback capabilities. Sony was one of the principle developers of Super Audio CD, and the inclusion of this format gives listeners access to the ever-increasing library of high-resolution audio now available on SACD.

In addition to SACD, the DAV-LF10 is compatible with DVD-Video, CD, and MP3 burned to disc, and the main unit features a progressive scan output to deliver the best possible image signals to a digital monitor.

The DAV-LF10's rear surround satellites are wireless, eliminating the need to run wires all over the home theater space. Sony employs its DIAT (Digital Infrared Audio Transmission) technology, which is intended to prevent interference from other wireless devices.

The attractive floating-glass design of the main unit makes this an ideal system to use alongside a high-end television, and the magnetically shielded speakers can be placed as close to the television as needed without any worry of picture distortion. The DAV-LF10 comes with adjustable-height speaker stands, or the speakers can be wall mounted. A universal Remote Commander rounds out this exceptional package.

The DAV-LF10 is a member of Sony's Platinum Dream System line, and with its high-end audio/video performance and plethora of useful features, it is hard to believe that it is not a dream.
