The sounds aren't terribly realistic, but they can be of some help when placing the speakers to achieve the best surround effect. Moving the speakers even just a few inches can improve their sound. If a resolution setting unacceptable to your TV is mistakenly selected, you can reset it to the factory default. In this case, press STOP button on the player for more than 10 seconds to reset the video output resolution to the lowest resolution.
That's a pretty good connectivity suite for a home-theater-in-a-box system , which is to be expected at the $1,000 price point. It means you can ostensibly use the X1V to switch between two other A/V devices--say, a cable/satellite box and a game console--plus an audio device or two. The composite/S-Video limitation means that you can't connect HD video sources. And, unlike the better HDMI-equipped A/V receivers, the DAV-X1V can't convert those video sources to any other format--composite video sources only output to composite video, and S-Video to S-Video.

That means you'll have to run more cables to your TV , and switch the TV's inputs accordingly. In other words, there's little advantage to using the X1V as a video switcher. Creating a truly 360 degree immersive surround sound experience from two speakers and a subwoofer is impossible, but some systems are more successful than others. The thing that distinguishes the better ones is how far forward they can project the sound in front of the speakers' locations in the room. We heard sound projected almost out to the sides of our listening position about 8 feet from the speakers.

The system can play SACDs, though we didn't hear any improvement over the sound of CDs. For music, the sound was at its best when listening to music a low to moderate volume levels. Expensive; the dearth of video conversion options minimizes the advantage of the two video inputs; proprietary connector cable limits speaker placement options. We may receive commission if your application for credit is successful, the commission does not affect the amount you will pay under your agreement. Follow these steps to perform a forced Factory data reset. If the customer cannot perform the normal Factory Reset operation due to issues such as not operating the TV screen with the remote control, they can try a forced Factory Reset.
However, the projected surround sound wasn't as precisely focused and tonally full as when the sound was emanating directly from the speakers. Autocalibration makes less of a difference on the DAV-X1V, where the included speakers limit the sonic variance you'd get from the combination of a receiver plus a third-party surround speaker package. That said, it's still important to optimize the placement of the two speakers. For best results, the two speakers should be placed the same distance apart as they are from the listening position, forming an equilateral triangle. Also, they should be placed at or close to the height of the seated listeners' ears. The DAV-X1V comes with a setup DVD that includes test tones, a helicopter flying in a circle, and sound effects of a baseball being hit that bounces around your home theater.
DVD / CD / SACD TEXT
For the most part, the DAV-X1V's huge room-filling sound let us forget we were listening to just a pair of tiny speakers and a small subwoofer. Dialogue sounded natural, clear, and perfectly centered, and the little subwoofer made its presence felt when it delivered deep rumbling bass on the Cars DVD. The onscreen horsepower was communicated with surprising gusto. The system also includes an AM/FM tuner, which offers 30 station presets.
First, try performing a Power Reset if you have not done so already. A Power Reset does not usually reset settings such as those mentioned below Warning to factory settings. If you have already performed the Power Reset, proceed to the next step. A/V Receiver is a typical component within Home Theatre System. The basic functionality is to receive an audio signal and amplify the same and allow it to pass through of the video signal from other A/V devices to the TV.
Really nice build quality with truly good sound for the money. I know it’s a bit dated now but these cost a fortune new I loved mine it was a good experience. I’ve had all three models dav x1 the dav x1v the best one and the dav x10 which was nice looking but meh on the sound side. I say dav x10 unit with dav x1v speakers would be superb...... Among our complaints with the previous model (the DAV-X1) was the fact that the treble lacked sparkle and real detail. We expected the DAV-X1V's new tweeter-enabled speakers to do better in this regard, but cymbals and percussion sometimes sounded harsh and fuzzy.
The prototype vehicle from Sengenthal, which has already completed more than 83,000 km on the German test track, runs recently on the 3.5 km long demonstration track in Chengdu for partial commissioning. Until then, the final assembly steps on the track and functional tests for smooth operation will be completed. The Transport System Bögl is already an innovative alternative to conventional urban transport solutions.
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder. There is no sound when connected to a TV using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable.
And while the X1--like all simulated-surround products--can't match the output quality of bona fide multichannel systems, we found it sonically competitive with other virtual-surround HTIBs. The DAV-X1V uses Sony's S-Force Pro 2.1 digital signal processing to synthesize a surround sound field from two speakers. The A/V Sync is intended to compensate for video displays that lag behind the DAV-X1V's audio; unfortunately, the control isn't adjustable, which renders it almost useless. On the bright side, the DAV-X1V has bass and treble controls, making a welcome appearance following years of absence from the Dream System line. When Sony launched its 2.1-channel in 2005, it was clear that the company was gunning straight for the Bose system.
The highlight of the DAV-X1V's connectivity options is its HDMI output, which upscales DVDs to 720p or 1080i resolution, making the images more potentially friendly for various HDTVs. For older TVs, composite, S-Video, and progressive/component outputs are still present. On the surface, meanwhile, the A/V inputs look promising.
