XM/iPod-ready DVD mini system: Onkyo CS-V720S
If Onkyo were at the show, the company would no doubt be highlighting its recently released DVD mini system, the CS-V720S. The diminutive stereo system plays just about any type of optical disc you can think of: CDs, DVDs, SACDs, DVD-Audio, MP3/WMA CDs, and JPEG photo discs. And with the addition of two optional accessories, it gets even more versatile: connect the Onkyo DS-A1 for enhanced iPod playback (you'll be able to control your iPod with the V720's remote, for instance), and add a Connect and Play Antenna to pull in XM satellite radio (as well as the built-in AM/FM tuner). The CS-V720S has been available since December for $400. That's about twice the price of the last batch of DVD shelf systems we checked out, but the Onkyo has them beat hands-down in terms of features. We'll have a full review of the CS-V720S soon.
