The BDV-E300/E301/T10/T11 is a BD/DVD Home Theatre System, designed to provide a comprehensive audio and video experience. This system is composed of several component models, including a BD/DVD receiver, front speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, a subwoofer, and a DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter. Specific models vary by region, with the BDV-E300/T10/T11 designated for US models, BDV-E300 for AEP and Australian models, and BDV-E300/E301 for UK models.
The core of the system is the BD/DVD receiver, which comes in different versions: HCD-E300, HCD-E301, HCD-T10, and HCD-T11. These receivers handle the processing of audio and video signals, acting as the central hub for the home theatre setup. The speaker configuration includes two front speakers (SS-TSB93 or SS-TSB95), one center speaker (SS-CTB91 or SS-CTB92), two surround speakers (SS-TSB92 or SS-TSB95), and a subwoofer (SS-WSB91 or SS-WSB92). The specific speaker models are paired with the receiver model, ensuring compatibility and optimized sound performance.
A notable feature of this system is the inclusion of a DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, TDM-iP20, which is provided with US, UK, and Australian models. This adapter extends the system's connectivity, likely allowing for integration with portable media devices.
From a technical specification standpoint, the BD/DVD receiver (General BDV-E300/E301/T10/T11) is designed for different power requirements based on region. The US model operates on 120 V AC, 60 Hz, while other models (AEP, UK, Australian) require 220 V-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The power consumption is 160 W when on, and a very efficient 0.3 W in the Power Saving mode, highlighting energy efficiency. The DIGITAL MEDIA PORT provides a DC 5 V/700 mA output. For network connectivity, the system includes a LAN (100) 100BASE-TX Terminal. An EXT port is also available for external memory, providing a DC output of 5 V 500 mA Max. The physical dimensions of the main unit (receiver) are approximately 430 mm × 93 mm × 400 mm (17 in x 3 3/4 in x 15 3/4 in) including projecting parts, and it weighs approximately 5.4 kg (11 lb 15 oz).
The TDM-iP20 DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, specifically for US, UK, and Australian models, receives power via DC IN: 5 V, 0.6 A from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT on the receiver. It has compact dimensions, approximately Ø 80 × 22 (h) mm (Ø 3 1/4 × 7/8 (h) inch), and weighs about 132 g (4.7 oz) including its cable. The cable length for the adapter is approximately 1 m (3.3 ft).
The system comes with a comprehensive set of accessories to facilitate setup and immediate use. These include two front speakers, two surround speakers, one center speaker, and one subwoofer. For audio reception, an AM loop antenna (aerial) is included for US models, and an FM wire antenna (aerial) for AEP, UK, and Australian models. Speaker cords are provided, with six cords (white/red/blue/gray/green/purple) for the BDV-E300, and five cords (white/red/blue/gray/green) for the BDV-E301/T10/T11, indicating different speaker configurations or wiring needs. A video cord is also included for standard video connections.
For remote control, a remote commander (remote) is part of the package, along with two R6 (size AA) batteries. A calibration mic is supplied, which is crucial for optimizing the sound output to the specific room environment. Foot pads are also included for the main unit.
User documentation is extensive, with Operating Instructions, a Speaker and TV Connections Guide, and Software Licence Information (for AEP, UK, and Australian models). A Setup Disc (DVD) is provided for US models to guide through the initial configuration. The DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter (TDM-iP20) also comes with its own Operating Instructions. For the BDV-T11 model, an HDMI cable is included, suggesting its advanced connectivity options.
Maintenance and setup are made user-friendly with the inclusion of the calibration mic, which helps in automatically adjusting speaker settings for optimal sound. The detailed instruction manuals and setup disc (for US models) further simplify the installation process. The modular design, with separate component models for the receiver and speakers, suggests that individual parts could potentially be serviced or replaced if needed, though the manual primarily focuses on the overall system. The power-saving mode is a notable usage feature, reducing energy consumption when the system is not actively in use. The variety of included cables and antennas ensures that users have all the necessary components for a complete home theatre setup right out of the box, catering to different regional broadcast standards and connectivity needs.
