Sony launch 3D-ready HT-AS5 surround sound system
Sony HT-AS5.jpgSo you’ve got your 3D ready TV and 3D Blu-ray
player, but playing back your copy of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs still sounds a little, ahem, flat. You may want to think about investing in a 3D-supported surround sound system then, just like the HT-AS5 that Sony are preparing to launch.
Compatible with the surround sound signals sent from 3D sources, the HT-AS5 5.1 system has three HDMI inputs and one HDMI output, each with 3D pass-through, meaning you can hook up a fair few 3D sources and get cinema sound for each without having to keep swapping and unplugging leads. There’s also an audio return channel, giving your TV’s audio signal a boost from the system.
