Sony DAV-HDX277WC, DAV-HDX279W, DAV-HDX576WF surround home theaters: PDF Manual

In terms of pure design, I must admit that the high-rising front and rear speakers on a lot of current home theater systems do not make me very happy. I checked the instructions manual in order to see if it is possible to make the appearance of these towers less obnoxious. It looks like all you can do is to adjust the mounting rod to make it shorter. But the good news is that these speakers are also wall-mountable, according to the manual.

Actually, it looks as if the presence of these stands in the retail box is among the features that separates DAV-HDX576WF from the other models. If you see no additional features that matter to you, keep this in mind when choosing a Sony home theater system.

Sansa Fuze manual






The absolute best retail price I was able to find for Sansa Fuze was $60 (Costco). The sale lasted a few days, but it give a good indication of what kind of prices you should expect after Christmas. Anyway, I have snatched two Fuzes! The burden of giving mp3 players as gifts to people who are not technologically sophisticated is that you have to load them up with music. It's not easy, but I will try!

By the way, for people who never used an mp3 player before navigating the Sansa wheel can be a challenge, believe it or not. So, don't throw away the manual. And if you did, here it is:
