Sony AVD-C70ES

[Edmundo]

The AVD-C70ES is one A/V component that does it all! Delivering home theater sound that's powerful and precise enough to earn Sony's high-end ES designation, this combination receiver/DVD changer also offers the convenience of an all-in-one home theater system and the flexibility of a 5-disc DVD changer. The only thing you'll need to add for stunning multichannel sound is a 5.1 speaker system!

The AVD-C70ES's receiver section pairs 120 watts x 5 channels of clean, all-digital amplification with precision decoding for Dolby Digital and DTS sources. The result is seamless home theater sound that's teeming with sonic detail and dynamic intensity. You also get Pro Logic II processing, which lets you turn any older surround and stereo sources into convincing 5.1-channel sound. A multibrand LCD remote gives you easy system control.

The DVD changer offers progressive-scan output for an incredibly filmlike picture with compatible TVs, and interlaced output for a great picture with standard TVs. It's also a disc-playing jack-of-all-trades, handling not only DVDs and standard CDs, but also your home-burned CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and long-playing MP3 discs. The changer even offers playback capability for SACDs, so you can surround yourself with multichannel music in ultra-high resolution. Load up any combination of discs and sit back for hours of music and movie entertainment!

Sony designed the AVD-C70ES with today's advanced A/V components in mind. You get component video switching for the DVD changer's output and a second high-resolution video source, such as an HDTV tuner. All other video inputs and outputs are S-video for outstanding picture quality with compatible A/V sources and TVs.
