The Sony XAV-W1 is its first stab at the aftermarket in-car multimedia game and it's a beauty, dominated by a 7inch 800x480 touchscreen.
The oversized Sony XAV-W1 is designed to slot neatly into newer double DIN bays that are twice the height of your standard car stereo – hence the large screen.
Sony XAV-W1 will play your DVDs, DivX movies, WMAs, MP3s and CDs, as well as your doubtless huge collection of SACDs. 5.1-channel surround sound is supported with Dolby Digital Surround and DTS Digital Surround Processing.
You can also plug in a console or portable music player and hook up a rear-view camera for spotting bollards before they kiss your bumper. Um, there's even a karaoke mode – just perfect for those long journeys.
Enjoy mobile video and high-end audio in your vehicle with the Sony XAV-W1 in-dash DVD receiver. The Sony XAV-W1 fills the double-sized opening in your dash with a 7" touchscreen (800 x 480 resolution), perfect for watching movies when you're parked. And this versatile Sony XAW-W1 also plays Super Audio CDs, so you can enjoy audiophile sound on the road.
The Sony XAV-W1 sports a powerful internal amp and extensive soundshaping to start you on your way to an impressive mobile theater system. You can add a gaming console or video camera to the Sony XAV-W1 using any of the 3 audio/video inputs, and you'll even find an input for a karaoke microphone.
Dedicated inputs allow you to connect a Sony navigation system or rear-view camera. For more entertainment, you can add Sony's iPod adapter XA-110IP. You can use the built-in multi-channel decoder and 6-channel preamp outputs to send signals to a full-blown amplified surround system.
