Sony magically adds third dimension to new soundbars, 5.1 sound system
Posted in: audio, sony, speaker, speakers, Today's Chili
The 3.1 channel HT-CT350 and HT-CT150 soundbars a) don’t require special glasses to use and b) look fairly flat to us, but — along with the 1,000 watt HT-SF470 5.1 surround system — but the magic is in their HDMI repeaters (three inputs, one output) capable of 3D and standby passthrough just like Sony’s latest higher end equipment. The 400 watt HT-CT350 steps it up by shipping with a mounting bracket that affixes it to bottom of select 40-inch (and up) 2010 BRAVIA HDTVs, while the 340 watt HT-CT150 attaches to select 32-inch sets. You’ll also find LPCM support via HDMI and BRAVIA Sync compatibility, and if you’re drinking the Kool-Aid, you can find the 40-inch CT350 on sale next month for $400, the 32-inch CT150 retailing for around $300 and the 5.1 SF470 hitting shops in June for $550.
