Today&rsquo;s technological marvel is the Sony CT100 Sound System. Here&rsquo;s what <em>Attack of the Show</em>&rsquo;s Kevin Pereira had to say about it&hellip;<br /> <a name="readmore"></a></p> <p><strong><u>What You Need to Know</u></strong></p> <ul> <li>Sony has the S-Force Pro front surround engine</li> <li>Using all digital sound processing, it generates rear sound from the two front speakers</li> <li>You don't need to position it a certain way or have it bounce off walls</li> <li>It's not as good as actually having speakers behind you, but this virtual surround really does work</li> <li>3 digital optical 5.1 inputs</li> <li>Left and right composite and a coax</li> <li>3 HDMIs</li> <li>1 HDMI out for your TV</li> <li>This means you have to have an HDTV with an HDMI input in order to get sound from this</li> <li>But the amount of inputs is more than enough, and they are all future proof so you'll have the best audio</li> </ul> <p><u><strong>Setup</strong></u></p> <ul> <li>Step 1: take the center channel speaker cable and plug it in to back of subwoofer</li> <li>Step 2: plug in your DVD player to the back</li> <li>Step 3: sit down and watch movie</li> <li>This is the easiest set up you will ever have for a 3.1 surround sound system</li> <li>The set up and input choice alone are almost worth the price, and the audio is incredibly good. The main channel was a little lacking in depth, but bass and treble sounded excellent</li> </ul> <p><strong><u>Price</u></strong></p> <ul> <li>You can get a true 5.1 home theater system for $400, but speaker wire is everywhere</li> <li>When you can find this for $250, this is the best buy you can make on a compact system</li> <li>Challenge to Sony: make it $200</li> </ul> <p>Also, are you a friend to the Earth?
