A/V outputs for connection to a TV display,
“The streaming player is ideal for consumers who want to upgrade
to a connected television, but are happy with the TV they currently have,” said
Charles Speidel, Sony’s home audio and video group VP. “Whether using it in the family room or on a
secondary television in the house, this new set-top-box offers access to the
full complement of streaming content available from Sony, without committing to
the cost of a new Bravia.”
