Introducing the new AVR-500. Smaller, simpler and quieter, the new AVR-500 gives you the Media Center experience in an affordable package.

With support for Blu Ray playback (optional) and upto 4TB of storage space and advanced networking connectivity and native HDMI support, this system will blend in perfectly into the modern home.

Comprehensively tested
To ensure the best possible entertainment experience, all our media centre systems go through a comprehensive check before packing.

This includes connecting the system up to a surround sound sysem, running the system through a proper TV and making sure everything works as it should.

The sound of silence
By using the latest and best cooling technologies available together with sound absorbing panels, the AVR-500 is virtually silent.

Starting with a high efficiency power supply, then using very quiet 120mm exhaust fans together with a silent CPU heatsink, we\\\'ve made the AVR-500 one of the quietest media centre systems available.
