However, the SC-BT730 also boasts wireless rear speakers over the SC-BT330, allowing for more freedom in speaker placement.

The SC-BT730's universal iPod/iPhone dock allows for audio and video playback as well as image display through the SC-BT730's sound system/your TV. Its Audio Return Channel compatibility simplifies the SC-BT730's setup as ARC allows for two-way audio transmission over HDMI, eliminating the need for an additional S/PDIF cable. Additionally, the SC-BT730's Kelton type sub-woofer provides greater sound quality in a smaller package while its wireless rear speakers further simplify the SC-BT730's setup.
