Looking for whole-house music without tearing down your walls to run wiring? Got a Pandora or Rhapsody account and want it streamed to more than just your computer speakers? Sonos has been giving us affordable wireless multiroom music for a bit of time now, and today it’s announced new amplified and non-amplified ZonePlayers, a new bundled package for a cost-effective starter system, and also an added perk of more than $200 in DRM-free music offers. The new ZonePlayer 120 (ZP120) and ZonePlayer 90 (ZP90) both… View this story

Wired vs. Wireless
Richard M. Sherwin
07/09 02:10 PM, 3 Comments
The major audio-video accessory companies fear that the big CE manufacturers have finally delivered on the age old promise of "No New Wires." With Sony and Panasonic starting to introduce products that are supposedly wire-free, the accessory companies have been touting their own new wireless solutions for HDTV to HDMI to whole home audio and other house cluttering products and services. Here's a look at both sides of this ever troublesome home theater dilemma. No More Wires Please! (By Susan Davis, an award winning advertising… View this story

Q. What are my options for a TV in the bathroom prewired with a cat5 and a coax? I would like to stream my home video, mp3’s, photos, etc., but space is limited on the wall. What I have in mind may not exist: A TV with Ethernet and a built in media player. -Tony The choices for this type of application are limited at the moment, but there are a couple of options for what you are looking for.

Good communication is a must in a home filled with electronics. Your remote needs to talk to your audio/video components, your wall switches need to speak with your lights, your media server needs to share its music with your family room loudspeakers, and, more recently, it’s become important that your computer be able to transmit photos, videos and other information to every display in the house. There are several ways of getting information from one place to another. If you’re building a new home, high-speed… View this story

How do you make a mammoth flat screen boring? Show vacation photos on it. Still, Sony just announced the HDMS-S1D ($400), a server designed to be stuffed with up to 50,000 high-resolution photos. The 80GB hard drive allows users to transfer photos via almost any memory card, a CD or DVD, USB or Ethernet. I find it really annoying when I can’t find different photos, so it’s nice to have them in one spot. Whether or not, I want to blast them on a big… View this story

This Maryland house has a whole-house control system, security cameras, 13 zones of audio distribution, a wireless computer network, geothermal heating, sensors for water leaks and humidity, a surround-sound system and a DVD movie server. Must be a new home, right? Try 1781—as in the days of George Washington. That’s when the original structure was built. A renovation of the modest Quaker-style house was done in 1814, and a few years ago, the current homeowners added a wing with a family room on the first… View this story

Olive just announced the OPUS Nº5, as well as the end of the audio CD. Them’s fightin’ words! This networked audio system doesn’t just store the music, it also allows you to browse, mix, or listen to your music library as well as web radio. And just in case you’ve got a few CDs still kicking around, you can rip and burn those too. Unlike your portable player, this unit has the company’s Pure Audio System, a pair of TI’s 24-bit 192 kHz DAC modules,… View this story

Earlier this week we mentioned that the latest THX technology, THX Loudness Plus, will debut in the Yamaha RX-Z11 flagship A/V receiver. For a little more on this whale of an A/V component, here are some more highlights of the RX-Z11, which will ship in November. First off, it’s an 11.2-channel receiver to take advantage of full HDMI 1.3a capabilities, with help from the company’s proprietary Cinema DSP HD3 processing for ultra-realistic 3-D surround sound. Other audio features include support for Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master… View this story

It’s a little like winning the lottery. Panasonic has launched its Living in HD program and is looking for 30 families across the country to use a palette of high-definition electronics gear to explore how the latest HD technology affects the American lifestyle.

The product menu, with a retail value of more than $20,000, also includes a Blu-ray Disc player, surround-sound speaker system, A/V receiver, a powerline… View this story

Two vendors unveiled somewhat offbeat HomePlug implementations recently: Sling Media—makers of the Slingbox, a hardware device that connects to your TV so you can watch TV content on Web-enabled devices—announced the SlingLink Turbo 1 Port and the SlingLink Turbo 4 Port. As the names indicate, these devices connect one or up to four devices respectively to a HomePlug ( 1.0) network. These come in pairs; one plugs into the power outlet near the router, the other connects to the device. The 1 Port costs $99.99… View this story
