Hot gear from the world of home
entertainment.
By S&V Staff
X10
It's a familiar story: PC meets A/V system. PC wants to hook up
with A/V system. PC connects with A/V system via RF devices that
operate in the 2.4-GHz band. At least it's familiar to the folks
at X10, whose Entertainment Anywhere kit is the matchmaker in
this wireless love story. The kit includes a transmitter that
hooks into the RCA audio and video jacks on your PC, a receiver
that plugs into your gear via analog stereo and composite-video
outputs, and a universal remote control. Once it's all
connected, the system will transmit both audio and video, so you
can watch and listen to anything from your PC - DVDs, CDs, Video
CDs, and MP3 files, to name a few - on your home-entertainment
system. The range is said to be up to 100 feet. Downloadable
software enables you to configure the remote to control your PC
media as if it were a component in your rack. Price: $70. www.x10.com,
