Sony today announced two new Blu-ray home theatre systems, the BDVE300 and BDVE800.

Both units deliver full HD 1080/50p and 24p True Cinema output, and are BD-Live capable with a broadband internet connection and purchase of external memory.

The BDV-E800W features integrated S-AIR wireless audio capabilities. Sony’s S-AIR technology transmits audio from the main system to wireless rear speakers. The BDV-E300 model is S-AIR ready so users can add an optional WAHTSA1 wireless kit to the supplied rear speakers.

Sony’s Digital Media Port adds connectivity options for music playback through various accessories, included with each system is a cradle for iPod players. A Network Walkman cradle or Bluetooth adapter are available separately.

Sony says the systems are straight forward to set up and with Sony Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) speaker placement, distance and delay are all taken into account for optimised sound in any space.

The BDV-E300 and BDV-E800W systems are available this month and are priced at $1,300 and $1,800, respectively.
