What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Five Stars
November 2008
    Sony RDRHXD890: "Images are utterly clean, while edges are razor sharp. Watching rolling news channels doesn't throw up issues with motion, and overall colours are vivid yet natural, with deep black levels rendered faithfully, too".
 
What HiFi Group Test Winner
November 2008
    Sony RDRHXD890: "The Sony delivers the best TV picture coupled with superb recordings, and has plenty of features and functionality for this price point. Factor in decent sound and impressive DVD playback and it's a winning all-rounder".
 
The Sony HTD-890IS is a home cinema system with 5.1 surround sound, DVD playback, Freeview reception and recording to DVD or the built in hard disc. Featuring tiny, incredibly discreet satellite speakers and a powerful subwoofer, the HTD890IS's audio performance is very impressive. DVD playback is superb thanks to the video upscaling which makes movies look fantastic on HD ready LCD and plasma televisions. Recording to DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW or the hard disc is made easy by the on-screen display and electronic programme guide that can make setting up timed recordings as easy as a couple of button presses.

A full home cinema system with Freeview and recording functions, the Sony HTD-890IS is a high quality, ready to go solution. For an incredibly discreet home cinema system with impressive surround sound, the Sony HTD890 is a quick and easy way to take your home entertainment to a new level.

You have the option to add a "Multi-region upgrade", in the order box below. As standard, the HTD890IS will play all DVDs bought in the UK and Europe (known as "Region 2"). This upgrade enables the playback of discs bought in the rest of the world (all other DVD regions) and the cost simply addresses the time it takes us to carry out this upgrade.

Additionally, you also make your rear speakers wireless - just add the WAHT-SA1 S-Air module using the option in the order box, at the foot of this page.
