Sony packs Blu-ray into home theatre system

Features include Bravia Theatre Sync technology for "one touch" operation with Bravia TVs

Sony Europe has announced an integrated 5.1 channel home theatre system with Blu-ray at IFA 2007. At the heart of the system is the Sony BDP-S300 player.

Features include Bravia Theatre Sync technology for "one touch" operation with Bravia TVs and Digital Cinema Auto Calibration for fast, simple, automatic multi-channel surround sound set-up. You even get a complimentary Spider-Man Trilogy box set on Blu-ray. Can't say fairer than that.

There's also a Sony Digital Media Port connection for portable music players.
