Sony TAV-L1


One of Sony?s latest and greatest designs is the upcoming TAV-L1 all-in-one home theatre system. What makes this system unique is the way it integrates a high-definition 32-inch LCD television into its setup.

The TAV-L1 has a motorized unit that houses the audio components of the system and which, at the touch of a button, slides down to reveal the 32? LCD flat panel HDTV. This integrated flat panel display offers viewers a 1366 x 768 resolution, among other features.

The audio unit of the TAV-L1 houses a variety of features and technologies to help home entertainment lovers get the most of their experience. For starters, it includes an integrated slot loading DVD player, two vibration canceling subwoofers, a digital amplifier and front speaker virtual surround sound processing.
