Sony, Samsung, Motorola, Sharp and Hitachi are scheduled today to announce a major consortium to create a standard involving the technology of Israeli firm Amimon called Wireless Home Digital Interface, which is designed to enable all wireless devices in a home through a single set-top box. “If you have a TV in the home, that TV will be able to access any source in the home, whether it’s a set-top box in the living room, or the PlayStation in the bedroom, or a DVD player in another bedroom. That’s the message of WHDI,” said Amimon co-founder Noam Geri. The Washington Post/Associated Press (7/23)
Onkyo has come out with a pair of midprice home-theater receivers as well as two home-theater-in-a-box systems. Among the new offerings is the TX-SR806 receiver, which retails for about $1,100 and is the company’s first A/V receiver to earn THX‘s new Ultra2Plus certification. ElectronicHouse.com (7/22)
