CD/DVD Library by Remote
Never lose them again. Every audio CD and movie DVD is stored, organized and navigated through the on-screen menu with one remote4. The system’s ability to access meta data, genre information, track listings and cover art add to your navigation experience and make it easier to find what you’re looking for. Just keep track of the remote.
TV Recording and Archiving
Don’t schedule your life around TV. Record your favorite TV shows with the system’s powerful software, then watch or burn to DVD when you’re ready. Using a specialized version of Windows® MCE, the XL1 system can record television for on-demand playback or burn it to disc for TV on your schedule.
Fits into Life
The flush, understated design of the XL1 system uses innovative technologies to keep cool and quiet. It easily integrates into your living room, becoming the central hub for all your multimedia needs and your digital lifestyle.
Engadget says “Well Sony is swinging around those new VAIO X Media Center boxes we mentioned a bit ago. The VAIO XL1 Digital Living System includes HDMI video out, WiFi, an external DVD changer, and a wireless keyboard with track pad. PC Magazine has the review, and they’re definite fans: they say it’s got more inputs and outputs than any other Media Center they’ve spied, and the 200 disc DVD changer can rip through 200 CDs automatically, or burn 200 blank DVDs without monitoring. There’s a catch though: just one analog TV tuner. Well, that and Sony’ll take a hefty sum of money off your hands while they’re at it — $2300 will net you the set.”
