Sony’s next-generation Blu-ray Disc player, model BDP-S350, is now available across the country at Sony Style retail outlets, sonystyle.com and other authorized Sony retailers.Our new Blu-Ray player features 7.1 Channel Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus decoding and bit-stream output, as well as DTS HD high resolution Audio and Master Audio bit-stream output.
The BDP-S350 supports AVCHD discs encoded with x.v.Color™ (xvYCC) technology, an international standard for wide color space reproduction. The standard expands the current data range of video by about 1.8 times, allowing the players to output more natural and vivid colors similar to what the human eye actually sees in the natural world. The players also feature compatibility with an array of video formats, including BD-R/RE (BDMV and BDAV modes), DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, CD, CD-R/RW (CD-DA format), and JPEG on DVD/CD recordable media.

 iHome ships ZN9 clock radio dock for Zunes

The stereo system is the first clock radio dock for Microsoft’s player and can play live audio from a Zune 4, 8, or 80 as well as use the portable device as the source of music for the alarm; the device’s AM/FM radio or a simple buzzer is also an option. Like iHome’s iPod equivalents, the ZN9 also permits setting an alarm that varies for weekdays and weekends, and users can also set gradual wake or sleep timers to fade the volume. The stereo system promises better-than-average sound quality through its speaker chamber design but doesn’t have an aux-in jack for outside devices.

iHome ships the ZN9 only in black and maintains a $100 price for the audio system, which is available both online and at retail shops.
