With only 2 speakers utilizing S-Force PRO Front Surround, Sony is hoping the Bravia Theatre DAV-X10 will be the perfect solution for those looking for a home theatre system without the clutter.

The DAV-X10, available this September, provides 480W of power out of its small footprint and packs a nice punch in the features department. Instead of trying to fumble around in the dark to navigate through the system, the DAV-X10 has touch-sensitve controls that light up when you touch the main unit. And don't worry about getting those new DVDs ... the system will upscales your DVDs to 720p or 1080i.

But what will attract buyers even more than the features is that Sony is considering the DAV-X10 a "home cinema in a box," and according to the release, this may hold true ...

The idea of a ‘home cinema in a box system’ is that it should be easy to buy, set-up and use, and the DAV-X10 takes this convenience to new levels: one cable connects it to the mains power and another to your TV, and after that it’s just a matter of a lead to each speaker and you’re ready to play.

Next, plug in the supplied microphone, place it where you would normally sit and at the push of a button, the system sets itself up. It’s all done with Sony Digital Cinema Auto Calibration, which checks the positions of the speakers in your room and sets the optimum surround parameters for convincing music and movies. That all happens in 30 seconds, and the whole process of setting up the system can be done in under three minutes, leaving you to sit back and enjoy a whole world of entertainment.

The new ICF-C1iP clock radio allows you (but is not required) to hook-up your iPod to one of its standard iPod adaptors and jam out to your tunes when you wake up in the morning. What's even better is that it comes with a wireless remote control that can control the clock radio AND gives you full access to your iPod's menu system. And on top of that, the IFC-C1iP charges your iPod when its docked.

The boombox (ZS-S2iP) has almost all the same features as the clock radio but also has an integrated CD player that supports CD-R/RW playback and incorporates Sony's Mega Bass Sound system.

Both the clock radio and boombox will be priced right around $100.00 and will be available for purchase in August.
