Sony Home Theater 5.1 HT-S700RF Review


With all the new pocket friendly televisions hitting the market lately, it's been good times for budding cinephiles. The one caveat is of course the rather poor sound output from most of these televisions.  Sony's all new HT-S700 RF Home Theater aims to help you upgrade to a high-quality surround sound cinematic experience at a price that won't pinch your pocket. Does it work well? Let's find out.  Sony Home Theater HT-S700RF specifications 1000W output 5.1 channel surround sound 18cm (HT-S500RF) and 20 cm (HT-S700R) sub woofer size Rear speakers – Tall Boy speakers (HT-S700R) / Book Shelf Speakers   (HT-S500RF) Connectivity: Bluetooth v4.2, USB x 1, HDMI x 1, Optical-in x 1, Analogue Audio Input x 1 Metal Punching Grille design S-Master Amplifier Sony Music Center Mobile Application Design The Sony HT-S700RF uses a hybrid design where the front three channels are combined into a single sound bar. That leaves you two rear 'Tall Boy' speakers as well as a sub woofer. Getting all the components within a single frame proved to be exceedingly hard, so we're going to leave you Sony's product image for that. So, as we mentioned earlier, the centre, left and right channels are combined into a single, well-built soundbar. The ...

WhatsApp beta for Android gets Picture-in-Picture mode for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook videos [Update: Swipe to Reply now available for all]


[Update - October 25: WhatsApp has rolled out Swipe to Reply feature for all the Android users] Earlier: WhatsApp is rolling out yet another beta update to Android which brings the version number to 2.18.301. This update brings the Picture-in-Picture mode. This mode enables users to play videos on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram right within WhatsApp. From now, when you receive a link to videos in WhatsApp, you can play the videos within the app and don't have to leave the conversation. This feature was earlier spotted in testing back in August and it did take a good two months time to enter into beta. If you remember, WhatsApp has rolled out the update to iOS back in November 2017. Post the update, when you tap the play icon, WhatsApp will show you the video in Picture in Picture mode, so you can continue to navigate in the chat while the video is playing in the background. However, when you switch to another chat, the PiP disappears which doesn't happen on iOS, so we can expect an update for Android that will fix this small issue. So, if you haven't updated WhatsApp, you can sign up for the beta to try out the feature. A couple of days back Android ...
