Sony has really managed to do a great CES this year, rolling out a very large number of new products, including here 3D-enabled solutions (both HDTVs and Blu-ray players). However, since there are a lot of consumers out there that prefer purchasing an entire home entertainment system rather than just a Blu-ray player or an HDTV, the Japanese company also released a couple of interesting solutions of this type at CES, some of them even supporting 3D playback.
The flagship home entertainment solution presented by Sony is the BDV-IZ1000W, displayed by the company as its first all-in-one home cinema system ready to play high-definition 3D content from Blu-ray Discs that can also access online video entertainment content from the BRAVIA Internet Video platform. And since we're on the subject of online, we'll have to add that the BDV-IZ1000W includes Entertainment Database Browser by Sony toaccess disc cover art, actor, and production information, as well as IP Content Noise Reduction technology and Precision Cinema HD Upscaling to improve standard definition and web video quality.

The BDV-IZ1000W sports five ultra slim speakers, using a virtual 7.1 wireless rear speaker system and 1000W of S-Master full digital technology by Sony. Also, unique to the new home cinema systems from Sony, users with an iPhone or iPod touch can control the players using a free app that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. The app allows an iPhone or iPod touch to function as a remote control and includes the ability to access a Blu-ray disc’s details such as jacket artwork, actor, and production information, as well as search for additional video clips online.

Besides the BDV-IZ1000W, Sony also unveiled at CES the 850W BDV-E370 entertainment system, which features the same Monolithic Design Concept, and DCAC for simple set-up and flexible speaker placement. The system is wireless-LAN ready and supports upscaling of the played DVDs, and integrates four satellite speakers.That's also pretty much the case with the 1000W BDV-E870 system that, however, sports two tall speakers with 1,000W total output. The BDV-E970W also offers a 1,000W output, but features four tall speakers, two of which (the rear ones) are wireless.

Last, but certainly not least, Sony released two 2.1 entry-level home entertainment systems, namely the BDV-F700, which uses two ultra slim floorstanding speakers and a vertical main unit with illumination LED, plus S-Force Front Surround technology by Sony and 400W of S-Master digital amplification, and the BDV-F500, which uses desktop or wall mount speakers, and has 350W of S-Master amplification.

While pricing details are yet to be announced, Sony does inform us that all of these home entertainment systems should make their way onto the market over the course of 2010, starting with BDV-E370 and BDV-E870 in March, BDV-F500 and BDV-F700 in April, BDV-E970W in June, and BDV-IZ1000W in September.
