Product Description

One of the problems with home-theater surround sound is finding the space to place 6 speakers in a room. It can be a challenge. Sony’s HT-CT100 converts the surround experience to 3.1 channels and uses only 2 speakers, a subwoofer and a SoundBar. The SoundBar is placed like a center channel speaker directly over the TV. Speakers within the bar radiate at different angles to deliver center, left, and right channels through a spatially enhanced soundfield. With 50 Watts to each channel + 100 Watts directly to subwoofer, the system delivers 250 watts total. Featuring HDMI - Component Video - Optical A/V ports, you can connect your TV and DVD or Blu-Ray player directly to the system. It’s the simplest, most streamlined way to enjoy home-theater surround.

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 Optical, 1-Coax Dolby Digital/DTS/ProLogic

Customer Reviews

great performance
very good surround effect for a soundbar - better than the ambisound 8100
easy to set up - i needed 2 more optical cables (2.98 @ monoprice. c om)
subwoofer could be very bass-y but fixable with the controls.

a great low priced sound system
i have had this sound bar for a few months now and i love it. For a small room or a room where you can run wires easily this is perfect. It does a very good job simulating 5 speakers, you actually can hear sound from behind like an actual 5.1 set up. Also on my HDTV i only have one HDMI input but with this system you can hook up 3 things with HDMI, i have my Xbox 360 cable box and PS3 all hooked up with HDMI where before i had to only by cable box with HDMI. the subwoofer is also very powerful, makes action movies really kick with explosions, my family always telling me to turn down. But i would deffently recommend this sound bar to anyone who doesnt want to run wires everywhere or doesnt have the room for a 5.1 system.

Good for not being a traditional setup
For what this thing costs and for what it does: it is worth it. My only complaint What this thing needs it a better LED display with a better menu system. Sounds good enough - the only thing I’ve got to really show off the virtual surround is GTA IV. I can hear cars people and gun shots from place around and behind me, it gets kind of wierd because sometimes you don’t realize the sound is in game.
