Trusted Reviews: Our growing obsession with design and aesthetics has created a huge demand for 2.1-channel systems, because they offer you high-quality home cinema sound without having to clutter up your living room with speakers and cables. Such is their allure that people are willing to sacrifice the thrill of true 5.1-channel surround sound for the sake of minimalism and domestic harmony.

And freed from the shackles of the traditional 5.1-system approach, most manufacturers take it as a green light to let their creative juices flow freely and come up with some of the most gorgeous-looking home cinema kit on the market.

A perfect example of this is Sony’s latest 2.1-channel system, the DAV-F200. The main unit, which houses a DVD player, radio tuner and audio processing electronics, oozes 21st century chic with a vertical stand-mounted arrangement (it’s also wall-mountable with an optional bracket) and a sleek black finish that takes up most of the front panel. A very cool white light illuminates the playback controls on the silver section underneath, while the discreet disc slot is located on the right hand side. Pure class.

On the back of the main unit is a removable panel that conceals a very useful array of connections. The HDMI port offers 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p output thanks to the unit’s video upscaling capabilities, but for non-HDMI equipped displays you’ll also find component and composite outputs.
