It is important for a home entertainment system to be as multi-functional and up to date as possible. This system has many modern features, and the capacity to upgrade – the blu-ray disc player can be made into a 3D blu-ray disc player with a simple firmware download. It is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch devices in a number of ways: you can play music and video via the USB connection, for example, and you can also turn your iPod Touch or iPhone into a remote control with an app (of course, the system does come with a standard remote control too). It is wi-fi enabled, which limits the number of cables that will be hanging around the place, as do the high quality wireless speakers. There is also the Bravia Internet Video capability so you can stream content from media sites such as YouTube and Netflix.

Perhaps the most attractive feature is the price point, a frequent problem in this day and age. It can be difficult to find a home entertainment system with so many high end features at such a low price, and although the Sony bdv e770w may not have as many connection options as other AV units, this could be viewed as being reflected in the price, and its many other impressive attributes definitely overshadow that minor drawback.

It’s also easy to be put off by the setup and installation process in today’s market – with the plethora of gadgets available, you really don’t want to be spending much time working out how to set your new device up. You will have no such trouble here! Installation is made easier thanks to the wireless speakers, and the easy to navigate menu, which is excellently designed to be intuitive and quick to respond. The aesthetics are also pleasing thanks to the compact and streamlined design, making it an attractive addition when you want to enhance your media experience.
