With three HDMI inputs on tap, this system is tailor made for the gamer looking for an easy, quick and great sounding solution for their next gen gaming system. It can playback LPCM from the HDMI connection, plus you can listen to your favorite music from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT that works with various accessories (sold separately). The HT-CT100 can also control a select number of BRAVIA televisions with BRAVIA Sync via the HDMI interface. With One Touch Play, operations that took several steps have been reduced to one.

HDMI(TM) Active Intelligence (3in/1out)

The HT-CT100 can detect and receive the best possible video and audio signals from all connected devices–making connection and performance as simple as plugging in a single wire. Sony(R)`s HDMI(TM) Active Intelligence, transmits both audio and video signals through one HDMI(TM) cable. Accepts 1080/60p and 24p Video via HDMI(TM)

LPCM Playback

LPCM is a method of encoding audio information digitally which can have up to 8 channels of uncompressed audio. This wider bandwidth allows for high resolution audio which is closer to the original.

3.1 Channel

S-Force Surround

By using a powerful 100% digital Sony(R) S-Master(R) amplifier and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology, realistic surround sound can be generated from just two front speakers. Unlike other virtual surround technologies, rear sound is generated from the front two speakers using sophisticated digital sound processing and does not need to be bounced off of side walls. No matter what the size or shape of the room or what`s on the wall, it`s possible to hear sounds from behind you without needing to place speakers behind you.

BRAVIA(R) Sync

As a leader in products with HDMI(TM) connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA(R) Sync to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When combined with a select number of BRAVIA(R) televisions and other Sony audio and video products, control functions will be transmitted via the HDMI(TM) cable. With One Touch Play, operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on then the BRAVIA(R) television turn on and switch to the correct video input.

Portable Audio Enhancer

A powerful Digital Signal Processor expands the quality of sound from any connected device.

Great Soundbar System

"Great product for the price. Used it to upgrade the sound on a Sony XBR 4 LCD 32 inch TV (1 year old) Sound system on the TV detracted from the video experience. Took a while to make up my mind, but for the price, you cannot beat it! I am glad I finally made the move to this system...." Read Full Review »

"This is for us folks who simply want high quality sound to compliment an LCD or Plasma TV without the hassle of setting up a 5-7 speaker system. You have what you see in the illustration. A subwoofer (housing the amplifier) , and a slender "soundbar". I was attracted to the simplicity of the "soundb …" Read Full Review »

"I tried several 2.1 speaker systems to enhance the sound from our LCD HDTV. The 2.1 speaker systems used the RCA audio output from the TV but I was never satisfied with the quality of the sound, even from the Bose Companion system. I think part of the problem is with the low-level output of the TV's …" Read Full Review »
