Features
System Overview: The Sony DAV-IS10 is an integrated system that includes a single-disc
DVD/CD receiver, five matching micro-satellite speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The supplied wireless remote operates the system, plus multiple brands of televisions and
cable boxes. The system also comes supplied with an iPod interface for
connecting your iPod.
S-Master Digital
Amplifier: This unit is powered by the S-Master Full Digital Amplifier built
inside the system's powered subwoofer. The
amplifier processes audio signals from HDTV broadcasts, DVD, or other
digital sources, and amplifies them entirely in the digital domain. This design
is highly efficient, producing minimal heat, while taking up 1/4
of the space of conventional amplifiers. The amplifier has the following power
output specifications:
Surround Modes:
This receiver decodes the following surround modes to bring you maximum
enjoyment from your audio and video software:

stereo sound with an expanded frequency range and a subwoofer channel for
deep bass is independently provided.
- DTS: The DTS surround
format conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format comprises of a stereo
rear channel and a discrete subwoofer channel.
- Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby
Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from 2-channel
sources. This is done using an advance, high-purity matrix surround decoder
that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. You can choose from two Dolby
Pro Logic II modes.
- Movie: The Movie mode is
for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby
Surround.
- Music: The Music mode is
for use with any stereo music recordings and provides a wide and deep sound
space.

Mode lets you enjoy sound effects or dialogue as you would in a movie theater,
even at low volume. Audio DRC
