New Insignia 450W 5.1-channel home theater with Rocketboost adds anchor to Best Buy's wireless audio standard

There is now a centerpiece device for Best Buy's Rocketboost wireless audio standard. This Insignia NS-R5101AHD-A is a pretty impressive home theater receiver with modern features such as:

• 3D pass-through
• 5.1 channel surround processing, Dolby, DTS, super plus happy technologies, yadda yadda yadda.
• Audyssey suite of dynamic EQ technologies
• 3 HDMI inputs
• 450 Watts of total output power

Add to that the Rocketboost features/capabilities that come via the included NS-RB1 transceiver:

• multi-room audio
• wireless surround sound speakers
• wireless subwoofer
• wireless zone-B audio
• wireless iPod dock receiver
• wireless headphones

...and you have one of the most capable home theater systems ever built. Of course you'll have to pick up some of the existing or upcoming Rocketfish Rocketboost accessories to round out the scenarios you need.

Congrats to everyone who worked on bringing one of the most flexible and extensible wireless audio systems to market. I hope consumers find great uses for wireless audio. I know we spent a lot of time spec'ing these scenarios out at Avnera, and that team has continued to work hard to make all the user-scenarios possible by working with device makers applying Avnera's highly integrated wireless audio ICs to build numerous affordable product choices.
