Introducing the Sony XAV-60, the newest and most advanced Sony multimedia receiver available to date. With stunning visuals and incredible audio processing, this double DIN in-dash receiver is among the top in its class. For starters the large 6.1″ full color display is based on the Sony Bravia television technology. The result is a touchscreen front panel display with incredible detail, brightness, and astonishing clarity. For greater viewing options, the front panel is a wide WVGA screen with a unique 17:9 aspect ratio ideal for watching movies. Inside the XAV 60 is a handful of advanced features to enhance the audio playback. Some of these technologies include the Advanced Sound Engine (ASE), Intelligent Time Alignment (ITA), Center Speaker Optimizer (CSO), Rear Bass Enhancer (RBE), Dynamic Range Compression (DRC), and many more! The Center Speaker Optimizer allows the soundstage inside the car to be adjusted so that the vehicle has a “virtual” center channel speaker for a 5.1 surround sound listening experience. The Stage 2 EQ7 is a powerful equalizer with 7 bands of adjustment and 8 tone curves that can give the listener the best musical experience possible.
www.lockergnome.com Some time ago, it appeared that everyone putting together a home theater was obsessed with having surround sound. These surround sound systems incorporate five (or more) speakers in an arrangement that allows the viewer to experience sounds from all sides. While these systems can certainly sound good, quality surround systems can be expensive and a hassle to set up, unless you don’t mind wires laying across your living room floor. What makes this technology work, and is it really worth the hassle and expense over a quality two or three speaker solution? In this video, LockerGnome’s Brandon Wirtz and Chris Pirillo tackle these questions and more as they discuss the differences between stereo and surround sound. lockergnome.com http facebook.com
Live Without a Net is a live concert video of Van Halen recorded in New Haven, CT in 1986, and released the following year. “Live Without a Net” was one of Van Halen’s performances on August 27, 1986 at New Haven’s Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The 90-minute release removed a few songs from the full performance. While the band attempted to record the previous night, audio problems prevented it from being used, although some video footage from that night would later surface in music videos. The concerts were part of the 1986 tour, Van Halen’s first with lead singer Sammy Hagar. The concert film changed the order in which the songs were played, as well as removing at least four songs (”You Really Got Me,” “Dreams,” “Good Enough” and “Wild Thing”) from the show. Other edits to the show were made, such as editing Eddie Van Halen’s guitar solo slightly and cutting brief moments elsewhere from the night. The performance of “Best of Both Worlds,” which included a portion of Robert Palmer’s hit “Addicted to Love” was aired during the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, but the Palmer section was edited out of the home video release. The same performance footage that aired during the MTV VMA’s continued to include “Love Walks In,” further illustrating the re-arranging of the playlist order for the edited home video version. Both aired in one continuous clip during the awards show. The continuity problems continued as displayed during the start of Eddie’s guitar solo. At one point Eddie …
