US: Sony's new DVD systems are wireless, iPod-ready and multidisc

By published

Finally Sony has a new soundbar system designed to complement its latest flatscreen TVs. There's no player built-in, but the slimline HT-CT500 3.1-channel soundbar speaker system (below), which goes on sale in June, has surround processing and amplification built-in, handles the latest HD audio codecs, and comes complete with a subwoofer. It will sell for around $500.
