Sony BDV-E3100 5.1 surround sound home theater system delivers rich multimedia experience in your living room. The total output power does not exceed 1000w delivering unmatched audio quality. Supported by 5 set of surround sound speakers, the multimedia output will just turn your regular TV to an ideal home theater system. Add-on Stadium Mode is great for Football lovers. You can now have the same kind of stadium experience in your home itself sitting back comfortably on couch enjoying popcorns. Very less effort is required to setup this home theater system. Extremely simple setup is one of the prime factors here. Hassle free connectivity, simple wire management, and lightweight handling add more mobility to the entire set. The package just comes with a DVD Blu Ray player, a subwoofer and set of 5 speakers that deliver surround sound audio output. It is essential that you must properly arrange them at specific location in the corners. Or else the output will be affected. The system does not come with stands. There are different models available under same series which also offers speaker stands. For BDV-E3100 you will have to buy them separately. Being a plug and play type home theater system, the output is great. With single touch setup you can just hook your mobile device on the blu ray player and play music instantly. There is no paring mode available. By pressing the Function button on the front side, select Bluetooth and that’s all. The device will appear in the Bluetooth section of your MP3 Player, Mobile Phone, Tablet, Laptop, etc.
By selecting it, the home theater system becomes your default audio output. It is missing pairing mode here, through which you can lock the home theater on specific devices or else it is quiet easier for anyone to play any kind of audio through their device. Even in basic Bluetooth speaker you get a pairing mode so that no one but only you can tap and use it in a secure way. I wonder why Sony misses such an important feature here. Still there are ample of cool features that we can talk about in the later part.
Design:
Sony BDV-E3100 5.1ch Blu Ray Disc Home Theater System features a complete black look. Everything is painted in black that makes it less disturbing when you are watching videos. A low shiny surface of the blu ray player does not put impact in terms of look but in terms of output it is great. The top side of blu ray player has a rough finish. It is big in size, almost bigger than the size of a laptop. It is also very light in weight. The main issue lies here for its proper placement. You will need to hook the speakers properly in the corners to get a proper surround sound. In my terms, it occupies too much of space. There are fewer expectations here. The thing that really matters is the audio output in terms of video playback. In regular DTH channels the output is only adjusted through the providers. The home theater system cannot help much here. So if the audio/video output is not so great from the provider itself, sound effects cannot work well. While for HD channels the output is awesome.
Speaker’s features a nice look when placed along with the blu ray player. The front part features a power button to turn the system on/off at the left corner with DVD tray. At the center lies a led indicator which turns from white to blue when the system is connected as a Bluetooth audio. Next to that lies Front Panel Display that gives you function information. And after that a set of 3 buttons lies through which you can change the functions or songs. On the top at the center you can see an N logo in the image. If you own devices that have NFC support then you can just move your Smartphone to that N logo and with one touch the blu ray player connects to the Smartphone as default audio output. So that it makes the connection a bit easy. After that there are 5 pointed triangular shape buttons on the right corner offering you more control over the player.
