Sony DAV-FX500 XM Ready, 5-disc DVD home theater system with digital video output and upconversion

Experience exciting home theater sound with Sony's DAV-FX500. This system comes with a DVD changer/receiver, a full set of surround sound speakers, and some cool extras that let you expand your entertainment possibilities. A front-panel audio input lets you connect an iPod® or other portable MP3 player. You can also tune in XM's diverse satellite radio programming when you add an optional XM Mini-Tuner package and an XM subscription.

Enjoy detailed video playback of your favorite DVDs. If you've got an HDTV with a digital video input, the 'FX500's built-in DVD player can upconvert the signal from standard DVDs to more closely match your set's higher-resolution display capabilities. Even if your TV doesn't have a digital video input, you can still get crisp DVD playback via one of the 'FX500's analog video connections.

Setup is simple, too, thanks to Sony's auto calibration feature. Just place the included microphone in your favorite listening position, and the DAV-FX500 automatically sets its own speaker distance and delay settings. Now you're ready to experience your movie and music library with wraparound surround sound.
